Start accepting Bitcoin now! This module provides an alternative 'payment gateway' that enables your clients to pay in the equivalent amount in BTC (Bitcoin currency)
It does this by doing a current market exchange rate lookup of your stores default currency and then allowing an option to let people pay in the equivalent BTC amount.
Enables Bitcoin payment and provides the user with an automatically generated Bitcoin address to pay into when they complete their order.
Uses cron to check the status of the payments with the Bitcoin server and update Ubercart order status.
Check out a working demo here add the item to your cart and check out, select 'bitcoin' for payment
Features
- Generates a new bitcoin address for every order
- Provides payment address to customer on site at checkout, plus in a subsequent email
- Configurable timeout after which unpaid transactions will be canceled automatically
- Configurable number of Bitcoin network confirmations after which an order is considered paid
- HTTP or HTTPS access to bitcoind
- Allows you to shop in an existing currency then pay in the current bitcoin rate for the current exchange rate of that currency (For example, your users can shop in USD/AUD/NOK/etc but then pay in BTC at the end, which is updated from MtGox's live exchange rate feed)
- Forwarding of payments to another server (run a local bitcoind on your web server but immediately forward any funds to the declared bitcoin address, meaning your BTC wallet file on a remote server never gets out of hand)
