There are dozens of reasons to choose Bitcoin as an alternate payment method for your ecommerce customers. It skips the middle man, eliminates fraud and chargebacks, and the transactions fees are significantly lower than PayPal. Plus, PayPal doesn’t accept certain industries such as gambling and casinos, which makes Bitcoin the #1 solution.

Fortunately, Blockonomics — which helps hundreds of businesses accept Bitcoins, Ethereum, and other altcoins — offers a simple solution for integrating your WordPress/Woocommerce site.

What makes Blockonomics unique to other Bitcoin payment options? Your Bitcoin revenue goes directly into your wallet, rather than a central exchange. This generally will incur further transaction fees — plus there’s nothing safe about leaving your Bitcoins on an exchange.

What you’ll need:

A Woocommerce-enabled WordPress site

Free WordPress plugin

Free account on Blockonomics Wallet Watcher

Bitcoin wallet — we will use Blockchain.info for this example, but it’s highly recommended that you only temporarily store it there, or store your coins in a safer wallet.

Setup can be made in 4 easy-to-moderate steps. If you’re not comfortable with getting your hands dirty, consult your technical lead first before proceeding.
