    Well to be fair, almost nobody who ever uses Bitcoin to pay for something will ever involve the merchant accepting Bitcoin. In all the times I have seen Bitcoin accepted on a website, they use a 3rd party payment processor (like Bitpay is the most famous).

    This means you send BTC to the processor, the merchant actually never gets any BTC but a fiat payment.

    This is the way it works.
    Like how it works in my country it was able to pay any merchants partnered with them thru shopping, travelling and even hotel booking via traveloka. Even in 2018  it was already operating and was able to use it. They will use 3rd party app which as a bitcoin wallet that's when you will choose to pay via fiat or BTC but still in the end they will convert to amount they ask to pay. Anyway it still much ok than not having any option of using it, many service might be soon available with the use of cryptocurrencies.
