The most common ways to accept payments on your WordPress site include PayPal<\/a> and Stripe<\/a>. While these are excellent options, they aren\u2019t the only (or most comprehensive) ones available. People that have a sizable Bitcoin wallet also want to know if cryptocurrency payment is accepted. Fortunately, there are now several WooCommerce cryptocurrency payment gateway options available, making cryptocurrency transactions possible.<\/p>\n That\u2019s where Bitcoin comes in. In simplest terms, Bitcoin is a digital currency<\/a> that enables you to accept payments from all over the world. By accepting the \u2018cryptocurrency\u2019 on your website, you can ensure you\u2019re able to receive payments from just about anyone.<\/p>\n In this post, we\u2019re going to introduce you to the various Bitcoin WordPress plugins available. We\u2019ll then show you how to use Bitcoin on your website, specifically by adding payment buttons and gateways. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n As a WordPress user, you have various plugin options that enable you to incorporate Bitcoin onto your site. While many of these support the most basic feature \u2013 the addition of a WordPress Bitcoin payment gateway \u2013 some also offer much more.<\/p>\n Best of all, many of these WordPress Bitcoin plugins can be used alongside popular shopping cart platforms \u2013 including WooCommerce<\/a> and WP eCommerce<\/a>. This makes it possible to fully integrate Bitcoin into your WordPress website. Let\u2019s take a closer look at each option, including its pros and cons.<\/p>\n GoURL Bitcoin Payment Gateway<\/a> is one of the more feature-packed plugins. It enables you to accept Bitcoin and similar payment types \u2013 including Litecoin<\/a>, Dash<\/a>, and Dogecoin<\/a> \u2013 anywhere on your website. The plugin also integrates seamlessly with multiple shopping cart platforms, such as WooCommerce<\/a> and Easy Digital Downloads<\/a>.<\/p>\n Key features:<\/p>\n The only premium option on our WordPress Bitcoin plugin list, Digital Paybox<\/a> is a multiple payment gateway plugin. You can accept payments via PayPal, InterKassa<\/a>, Stripe (for credit and debit cards) and BitPay<\/a> (Bitcoins). This is a great choice for digital products, as it also lets you set fixed or flexible (i.e. \u2018name your price\u2019) prices for each individual file.<\/p>\n Key features:<\/p>\n A bit different than the other plugins, Bitcoin Faucet<\/a> isn\u2019t technically a crypto payment gateway. Instead, it\u2019s a system that\u2019s integrated into your website to reward your visitors with small amounts of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n When you use Bitcoin Faucet on your website, it\u2019s possible to increase your site\u2019s traffic. However, you can also make a small profit too, depending on the ads you use on the faucet page.<\/p>\n Key features:<\/p>\n Cryptocurrency All-in-One<\/a> is a multipurpose plugin with the added feature of accepting Bitcoin payments. It can also be used to display current prices and exchange rates, as well as display an interactive cryptocurrency calculator on your website.<\/p>\n This is one of the easier plugins to use, as it utilizes shortcodes. Any actions \u2013 such as displaying the cryptocurrency calculator or offering a cryptocurrency payment gateway \u2013 can be achieved by simply pasting the shortcode practically anywhere on your site.<\/p>\n Key features:<\/p>\n While all of the above-mentioned plugins enable you to add a Bitcoin payment gateway to your website (more on that later), the easiest way to add a Pay with Bitcoin<\/em> button is through BitPay<\/a>. This is a Bitcoin wallet, which stores your payments and lets you access them to send elsewhere (such as your bank accounts). Creating an account<\/a> is free.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019re signed up, login to your BitPay account and go to Payment Tools > Payment Buttons<\/em>. Here, you can set the default price and other such settings (including button size and payment notifications):<\/p>\n Click Generate<\/em>, then copy the HTML code provided:<\/p>\n Add this code anywhere on your site you\u2019d like it to be located (such as the Text<\/em> editor or a widget), and it\u2019s ready to go!<\/p>\n There’s no doubt that crypto is not just some trend but is here to stay. In no time, it would become a staple payment option or payment method. Adding a Bitcoin payment gateway to your WordPress website can be just as easy as adding a payment button. All of the above plugins enable you to do so, but we\u2019ve found Cryptocurrency All-in-One<\/a> to be the easiest.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve installed the plugin on your website, go to Cryptocurrency<\/em> > Payment Settings<\/em>. It\u2019s here you can enter your payment addresses<\/a> (which is set up in your wallet<\/a>) as well as your notification email address:<\/p>\n Once you click Save options<\/em>, head to the area of the website you\u2019d like to add the payment gateway to. Once there, add the [cryptopayment item=”Advertising services” amount=”0.003″] shortcode.<\/p>\n Replace Advertising<\/em> services<\/em> with the preferred item name, and replace the amount (which is automatically in Bitcoin) with your desired one. If you\u2019d like to convert the payment to another currency, designate the amount. For example: amount=\u201d50 USD\u201d. Once you\u2019ve saved your changes, your payment gateway will appear on the front end:<\/p>\n You can now accept Bitcoin payments for orders and payments on your website. This makes it possible to reach a wider audience \u2013 particularly those without access to PayPal \u2013 and increase your earning potential.<\/p>\n Are you interested in learning more about <\/span>adding cryptocurrency to your site<\/span><\/a> and other <\/span>ways you can optimize your WordPress site for success? <\/span>WP Engine<\/span><\/a> is here to help!
