Bitcoin payment module using the bitpay.com service.
Copy this folder and its contents into your plugins directory. It will look something like this: wp-content/plugins/bitpayMagento-master/
- Create an API key at bitpay.com by clicking My Account > API Access Keys > Add New API Key.
- In the Admin panel click Plugins, then click Activate under Bitpay Woocommerce.
- In Admin panel click Woocommerce > Settings > Payment Gateways > Bitpay. a. Verify that the module is enabled. b. Enter your API key from step 2. c. Select a transaction speed. The high speed will send a confirmation as soon as a transaction is received in the bitcoin network (usually a few seconds). A medium speed setting will typically take 10 minutes. The low speed setting usually takes around 1 hour. See the bitpay.com merchant documentation for a full description of the transaction speed settings.
When a shopper chooses the Bitcoin payment method and places their order, they will be redirected to bitpay.com to pay. Bitpay will send a notification to your server which this plugin handles. Then the customer will be redirected to n order summary page.
The order status in the admin panel will be "on-hold" when the order is placed and "processing" if payment has been confirmed.
Note: This extension does not provide a means of automatically pulling a current BTC exchange rate for presenting BTC prices to shoppers.
