Try out our brand new plugin for Woocommerce. Accept cryptocurrency payments through BitPay on your WooCommerce store and get paid via bank transfers
The most secure and fastest way to accept crypto payments.
BitPay Payment Gateway plugin for WooCommerce
Key features
- Accept cryptocurrency payments from your customers, such as Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and USD stable coins.
- Price in your local currency.
- Get settled via Bank transfer (EUR, USD, GBP or any of the supported fiat currencies), BTC, BCH, XRP or USD stable coins (GUSD, USDC, BUSD, PAX)
- No chargebacks
- View all incoming payments and have the possibility to refund orders via your BitPay merchant dashboard
Customer journey
- The customer is adding items to his shopping card and proceeds to checkout. Let’s say the total order amount is $100 USD as an example.
- The customer selects BitPay as checkout method.
- A BitPay invoice is generated, the customer selects one of the supported cryptocurrency to complete the payment. The invoice will display an amount to pay in the selected cryptocurrency, at an exchange rate locked for 15 minutes.
- The customer completes the payment using his cryptocurrency wallet within the 15 min window.
- Once the transaction is fully confirmed on the blockchain, BitPay notifies the merchant and the corresponding amount is credited to the BitPay merchant account minus our 1% processing fee – thus $99 USD in this example which will be paid out to the merchant’s bank account.

FAQ
How do I pay a BitPay invoice?
Select the wallet you want to use to complete the payment, BitPay will indicate the available currencies and provide compatible instruction for each wallet. You can either scan the QR code, click on the “pay in wallet” button or copy/paste the payment URL / cryptocurrency address depending on the wallet you are using to complete the payment.
Does BitPay have a test environment?
Yes, you can create an account on BitPay’s sandbox environment to process payments on testnet. You will also need to setup a wallet on testnet to make test transactions. More information about the test environment can be found here.
The BitPay plugin does not work
If BitPay invoices are not created, please check the following:
- The minimum invoice amount is $1 USD. Please make sure you are trying to create a BitPay invoice for $1 USD or more (or your currency equivalent).
- Check your current approved processing limits in your BitPay merchant account
