The reason it will save them money is because there are no "chargebacks" or reverts with bitcoin.

You get $10 worth of bitcoin in your account and it's confirmed, you have $10 of bitcoin, and nobody can take it back.

That, plus the lack of a 3% fee (although there might be one for their bitcoin processor) means a good amount of savings for some.
