In this article, we will show you how to start receiving cryptocurrency as payment on your WordPress site using the Bcon cryptocurrency payment gateway plugin for WooCommerce. The advantage of our gateway lies in its non-custodial nature, meaning that you will receive online payments directly into your crypto wallet. In other words, the money goes directly to you, not to the service’s accounts. This allows you to accept cryptocurrency securely without transferring custody to a third party. (Read our other article for more information.)

Let us explain how our extension works in general. To use our WooCommerce extension in your WooCommerce store, you need to create an account on www.bcon.global, where you must link the wallet address to which you want to receive payments. Bcon only tracks payments to your addresses and notifies your website about the payment status. The invoices generated for your users will indicate the wallets that you specify in your Bcon personal account. The system automatically calculates the price in BTC, Ethereum, or Stablecoins based on real-time exchange rates to display the correct crypto amount in the invoice. After installation, the plugin itself will provide you with a callback address that you must specify in the store created on the side of our payment gateway. This way, we will send payment notifications through the API, and the plugin will change the status of your orders.

Advantages of our payment extension:

• You receive money directly to your crypto wallet.
• The plugin adapts to the design of your page.
• Checkout takes place on your website. The payment page is generated by the plugin, and the user remains on your website. There are no redirects to third-party resources.
• You can select specific and custom statuses for orders and define the preferred payment method inside WooCommerce.
• Choose currencies and blockchains for acceptance directly in the WooCommerce plugin for your store.
• No JavaScript checkout.
• Extensive display settings, including the ability to disable branding and change button names.
• Accept cryptocurrency payments and accept bitcoin payments on several chains: BTC, ETH (ethereum), BNB, SOL, TRX.
• Supported stablecoins: USDT, USDC, USDS, TUSD.

Step 1. Download the WordPress plugin

Begin by downloading the WordPress plugin from our website. You can find the download link here or navigate manually to the section ( “Integrations – Plugins for eCommerce – WordPress” ).

Step 2. Plugin Installation on wordpress website

Navigate to the ‘Plugins => Add New’ section in your admin panel. Upload the downloaded .zip archive (do not unzip it) using the ‘Upload plugin’ button, and then proceed to ‘Install’.

If everything is going smoothly, you should encounter something similar to the following.

If successful, click ‘Activate plugin.’ Once you click the button, you will be redirected to the list of installed plugins. Search the plugin in this list, and let’s begin configuring it.

Enter information about your linked Bcon Global store from the next step.

Step 3. Connecting ( Creating) your store in the Bcon Global

Create a “Store” in your Bcon account and then copy the “API key” and “callback link” to fill in the corresponding fields within the settings of the WordPress plugin.

Store Name: This will be displayed in the “Payment History”, allowing you to identify the site for which the transaction was conducted.

Tag: Additional information or notes, at your discretion.

Blockchain Dropdown List: In each dropdown, you need to input your wallet details to receive cryptocurrency from your clients. It’s not necessary to fill out all blockchain pages. If you only want to accept BTC, fill in the details for the BTC wallet and leave other sections empty. For BTC, provide the public key along with one of the wallets generated by this key to verify the accuracy of the entered public key. For BNB, ETH, SOL, TRX , simply specify your wallet address.

API Key: As shown in the screenshot above, API keys are not issued during Store creation. Therefore, you must initially create a Store by linking wallets. Afterward, revisit it and copy the API keys.

Callback URL: Retrieve this from the ‘Notification URL’ the link supplied by the plugin.

Switch the plugin status to ‘Enabled’. Input the API keys (copy them from the established Store) corresponding to the currencies you intend to utilize.

Navigate to the ‘Currencies’ tab and activate the currencies you wish to utilize.

Save all the changes.

Step4. Check which wallets will be displayed during the purchase.

The wallet for this invoice was created using the public key provided during store setup. As a result, users can make direct payments to your wallet. You can now receive cryptocurrency in your wallets without any intermediaries!

Advanced Settings of the plugin

• Time period of countdown timer on payment page – The invoice’s lifetime, after which it will be marked as expired. Our system will still track the payment for up to 24 hours, and even if the invoice expires, you will see a payment notification in your personal account. 
• Display Payment Page in Lite Mode – removes certain interface elements and makes the page as simple as possible for faster display. This is useful if, for example, there is some incompatibility with your theme.
• No Javascript checkout page – Enable this if you have majority customer that use tor like browser that block Javascript
• Network Confirmations – This feature is for receiving Bitcoin payments. Since Bitcoin network confirmations occur every 10 minutes, you can specify separately after how many confirmations to consider a payment in BTC successful and consider the order paid.
• Default Order Status – What order status should be applied by default to orders for which Bcon is selected as the payment method? This option is designed to ensure that status changes after payment do not conflict with the default status. This is because your statuses may be custom.
• Order Statuses for confirmations – It is divided into two sections, one for Bitcoin and one for Altcoins, as Bitcoin confirmations occur every 10 minutes, while Altcoin confirmations occur every few seconds. Let’s say you don’t want the order status to change to “Completed” after successful payment, but want it to remain “Processing”, with Completed being set manually by support after the order has been processed. This is just an example.
• Refid – Your referral ID from your personal account. You need to fill this in if you want to participate in our affiliate program. To do this, branding on the payment page must be enabled (next option).
• Disable branding – Disabled by default (i.e., branding is enabled). Branding includes the Bcon logo and a link under the invoice with your RefId, which will allow you to attract users to our service and participate in the referral program. If you want to remove branding, simply enable this option.
