It’s one of the biggest questions in e-commerce: “Should I accept Bitcoin on my website?”. Bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, has been popularized by major e-commerce giants such as Overstock and Microsoft, as well as a growing number of merchants in nearly all sectors of online shopping. It’s quickly becoming a perfect alternative to existing payment merchants such as PayPal and other credit card services. To make it easier for WordPress site owners, there are a healthy number of plugins to allow you to accept Bitcoin.

There are many benefits too:

Free or cheaper transaction fees (up to 1%) than PayPal

No chargebacks

Minimized fraud

Entrance into new markets and countries

Another segment of customers ready to spend

A chance to gain more capital from the rising value of Bitcoin

In this list, I’ve put together 5 of the most popular WordPress plugins to check out. I’ve also identified what makes each different than the next, to help those who are mostly overwhelmed by the process.
