Accept Crypto Payments with WooCommerce (WordPress)

Cryptocurrency is steadily becoming a part of everyday life, and businesses can no longer afford to overlook this trend. Online stores powered by WordPress and WooCommerce now have a unique opportunity to offer crypto payments to their customers. This not only expands payment options but also attracts an audience that values speed, privacy, and convenience in crypto transactions.

Crypto payment plugins make it easy to integrate digital currency payments without requiring advanced technical skills. They automate transaction processing, ensure security, and open the door to global markets where cryptocurrency has already become a standard payment method. But what exactly is a WooCommerce Payment Plugin, and how does it work? Let’s explore further.

What Is A WooCommerce Payment Plugin?

A WooCommerce Payment Plugin is a tool that provides your online store with the opportunity to accept cryptocurrency payments. With this plugin, customers can pay for their orders using Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other popular digital assets. This plugin not only simplifies the process of accepting crypto payments but also offers the option to automatically convert cryptocurrency into fiat, protecting you from exchange rate fluctuations.

The key benefits include instant transactions, low fees, and protection from chargebacks. With an intuitive setup process, the WooCommerce Payment Plugin is ideal for both beginners and experienced store owners looking to stay ahead of the curve with modern payment solutions.

Why Should You Accept Cryptocurrency Payments?

Accepting cryptocurrency payments opens up your business to a global audience and enhances customer satisfaction. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT are becoming widely accepted, especially among tech-savvy customers who value speed, transparency, and security in transactions. By offering crypto payments, you position your business as forward-thinking, ready to cater to the growing demand for modern payment methods.

Moreover, cryptocurrency transactions come with lower fees compared to traditional payment methods like credit cards. They also reduce the risk of chargebacks, providing greater financial security for merchants. As digital currencies continue to grow in popularity, integrating them into your online store not only boosts your brand's credibility but also sets you apart from competitors who may still rely solely on conventional payment systems.

How To Accept Crypto Payments With WordPress?

There are several ways to start accepting cryptocurrency payments on your WordPress website, but two stand out as the most common options.

The first method is the simplest. You can display your wallet address and let customers send payments directly to it. However, this approach has significant downsides. It requires manual payment confirmation, lacks automation, and may confuse customers who are new to crypto transactions. Plus, it doesn’t provide essential features like invoice generation or exchange rate adjustments, making it impractical for scaling businesses.

The second and more efficient option is to use a dedicated plugin for WooCommerce. Such plugins automate the entire process—from generating unique payment addresses to verifying transactions and even converting cryptocurrencies to fiat currencies or other digital assets if desired. They provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for both business owners and customers themselves, ensuring secure, fast, and hassle-free crypto payments. This solution is ideal for businesses that want to stay competitive and streamline their operations.

How To Set Up The WordPress Payment Plugin?

Integrating crypto payments on your site is easier than you might think, with payment plugins by Cryptomus. All you need to do is install it correctly. You can download this plugin directly from the Cryptomus website or from the official WordPress plugin store.

Downloading The WooCommerce Payment Plugin Through The Cryptomus Website

1. Go to Cryptomus.com Homepage.

2. Navigate to the API section of the main menu > in the top menu select the Business > Modules.

3. Look for the WooCommerce plugin and click Download.

Setting Up The Payment Plugin Via WordPress Plugin Directory

If you're looking for an even easier way to set up the Cryptomus plugin, you can install it directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory through your WordPress admin panel. This method requires minimal effort and can be done in just a few clicks.

Simply go to the "Plugins" section in your WordPress dashboard, click "Add New", and search for the Cryptomus plugin. Once you find it, just click "Install Now" and the plugin will automatically be added to your website. After installation, you can activate the plugin, configure your settings, and you’re all set to start accepting crypto payments. This method is incredibly quick and user-friendly, making it the most convenient option for most users.

Installing Cryptomus Crypto Payment Gateway For WordPress

1. Navigate to the Plugins tab in your WordPress admin dashboard.

2. Upload a plugin and click Install Now, then activate and enable it.

Setting Up Cryptomus Payment Gateway For WordPress Via API

For those looking for flexibility and customization, setting up Cryptomus Payment Gateway via API is the perfect solution. It is a more flexible and customizable way that is suitable for experienced developers or projects with special requirements.

We will walk through step by step how to use the Cryptomus API to integrate payments into your WordPress site:

1. Log in to your Cryptomus account and create a Merchant for your business, then generate an API key. If you don't have an account, sign up for one.
2. Enter the API key you generated in your Cryptomus account and configure any other desired settings. Don't forget to enable the WooCommerce plugin in the Payments section of Settings.

3. Click Save changes.

Setting Up A Shortcode

To ensure that the WooCommerce plugin works properly, all that's left to do is place a shortcode block: a short snippet of code created for WordPress, so that you have the ability to embed files or create objects on your website or blog.

1. Go to the page editor by clicking Edit Page.

2. Once inside the page editor click on + and add a shortcode block.

3. Type woocommerce_checkout into the added shortcode block so that the end result is: [woocommerce_checkout].

4. Update the changes.

New Options of WooCommerce Payment Plugin

In the new version of the plugin, a new Host-to-Host setting has been added. This setting will allow you to remove the mention of Cryptomus from your website.

The Theme setting is responsible for choosing the theme. There are pre-installed options, but we recommend creating your own one.

To do this, select ‘Custom’ and go to the following path: ‘wp-content → plugins → cryptomus → templates → custom’. Then edit the PHP files form_1.php and form_2.php. Be careful not to change the names of the form fields.

The Accepted Networks and Accepted Currencies settings allow you to select a set of coins and networks in which you want to accept payments on your website.

Done! To make sure everything works fine, consider doing some testing payments. Incoming crypto funds will be debited to your merchant account.

Now, your WordPress website is ready to accept cryptocurrency payments through WooCommerce and the Cryptomus payment gateway. If there are any questions left, feel free to contact our support team. Happy selling!
