Plugin Request: Free plugin to enable shops accepting cryptocurrencies

[alexg]

Hello Philipp,

The plugin has a modular architecture: it connects to coin adapters and app extensions.

You can connect to a full node if you wish, and that allows use of some of the lesser-known coins with apps such as the WooCommerce payment gateway. You can also install a cloud wallet adapter if you do not wish to install a full node.

All of this is explained in the readme and documentation. Choosing between a full node or a cloud wallet adapter has its tradeoffs. You can have a look if you like.

kind regards

Hi Alex,

yes I know this. But for small currencies there are no Cloudwallets except of what I’m hosting at CVO. So each shop would have to setup a full backend. Mostly they not even have the resources to do so.

That’s why I think a payment gateway in PayPal style/way would be a good addition to Bitcoin and Altcoin Wallets. This would enable way more shops to accept Cryptos because they don’t have to care about the tech. I would even be willing to pay for the development. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you’re interested: help [at] coinvault.one

Regards

Philipp

Hi Philipp,

Yes I understand what you mean. Thank you.

It is indeed not easy to setup a full node. If all you want is to easily set up a WooCommerce store there are better options out there. My hope for this family of plugins is to appeal mostly to developers who are trying to build something on top of the APIs, as well as have a solid basis on which to build an exchange plugin for WordPress. The cloud adapters and payment gateways were an afterthought to be honest.

I do not perform custom development. However I will look at what you suggest when I find the time. At the moment my priority is to finish the Exchange extension.

kind regards

Alex
