Please note that this plugin currently only works with USD.

How It Works

  1. The customer selects and buys their product through the WordPress interface and eventually reaches the checkout page. The customer then selects the Bitcoin payment method and continues.

  2. The customer is then directed to the Coin.co Bitcoin invoice page, where they are presented with the amount in Bits, the USD conversion rate, a wallet address, and a QR code (for mobile bitcoin wallets). As soon as the customer pays, they are redirected back to your WordPress site.

  3. Upon a successful amount of confirmations from the Bitcoin network, the customer's order will be marked as 'processing' by this plugin, giving you a green flag to ship the product to the customer. This entire process generally takes only a few seconds to a few minutes.
