payment never times out or completes?

Hey, sorry you’re having a bad experience with the solutions you’ve tried and are getting frustrated, but let me clear up your misconception about the CryptoWoo plugin:

CryptoWoo does not handle your coins and has no control over your store. You can receive the payments directly to your own HD wallet, e.g. Electrum, Mycelium, TREZOR. The plugin runs on your server and connects to a Blockchain API provider of your choice or your own full node to get the transaction data.

Additionally, you can accept Litecoin, Dogecoin and BlackCoin the same way as Bitcoin and 35 other coins via the integration with Shapeshift.

On top of that, orders are actually being processed like they should, and you have way more options to configure the behavior than other solutions can offer you.

CryptoWoo is a paid plugin because I am actually bothering to provide support and fix bugs in a timely manner which I can unfortunately not afford when I give the plugin away for free.

Try it out in the demo store. Pick a cheap product and pay with testnet coins by entering the payment address in a testnet faucet to see the full process.

If you want to have a look at the admin backend feel free to ping me and I’ll give you access.

ok, i checked it out… whats the deal with paid accounts with block.io if i sell alot etc??? whats a lot and what would i be paying and what am i paying for?

im new to this bitcoin thing so how easy is it to set up this “your own node” thing you talk about to avoid paying someone like block.io?

and whats the hd wallet add on for if the plugin works with my electrum etc?

dokan plugin… i dont understand this p-lugin either… does this give every seller on a marketplace a bitcoin wallet and let them accept bitcoin or what am i missing? its not very detailed in the description..

The free accounts of the Block.io wallet & API service has a limit on the number of addresses in your wallet. Their multi-signature wallet means they also have partial control over your funds, meaning they can prevent you from accessing it but they can’t spend the coins without your signature.

Blockcypher’s API is used solely to access the blockchain data. They impose limits on the number of requests per second and per hour. If you need more requests you need a paid package. CryptoWoo has several options to control the number of requests and stay below the limits. The customer may have to wait a little longer, but all concurrent orders will confirm as fast as possible, while also considering orders placed in short succession and that a Dogecoin payment will confirm faster than a Bitcoin payment. So to require a paid plan for the Blockcypher API you would really need a lot of orders and would probably be better off using your own connection to the blockchain instead of a service.

Our HD wallet add-on lets you use the extended public keys (“xpub”) of a HD wallet like Electrum, so the private keys never touch your webserver and nobody else has control over them.

If you use the HD wallet add-on to derive the addresses of your Electrum wallet, the plugin lets you use either blockcypher.com, block.io (without using their wallet, just the blockchain data) or any Insight API compatible public block explorer API, for example blockexplorer.com, insight.bitpay.com, chain.localbitcoins.com, and others. Only if you don’t trust all of these providers or go above their request limits, you need to set up your own private instance of the Insight API (which contains a full node) to be able to process the payments.

> dokan plugin…

The CryptoWoo Dokan add-on adds the payment details of the orders to the frontend of the “Dokan Multivendor plugin”, so the vendors can see these details in their order overview. Since the “Dokan Multivendor Plugin” uses WooCommerce, and CryptoWoo acts as any other payment method for WooCommerce, it is possible to create marketplace where customers can pay with cryptocurrency. The vendor commissions are still based on the fiat value (though the cryptocurrency revenue is recorded) and payouts have to be made manually. I built it for a merchant upon request, but if there is demand the functionality can be expanded.

the reason i ask is because i wanted to know if i could make an entire market that only does crypto currencies with dokan and your dokan plugin…

Does the dokan plugin allow me to make the entire market crytpo? like a big crypto marketplace?

like an etsy or ebay but with bitcoin instead…

thats something id like to try and if its successful i would definately want to build more for auto payouts and multisig or escrow capable …

thanks for your replies… i may just like what im hearing so far… much appreciated and good karma

Yeah, building a marketplace that only accepts cryptocurrency is possible. Vendors would enter product prices US Dollar and on the frontend you set the “welcome currency” setting of the currency switcher plugin to Bitcoin. Then you disable all other payment methods in WooCommerce except CryptoWoo and it’s done.

At the moment, there is no way to automatically pay the commission to vendors, but it’s fairly easy to export a list of the amounts due and send the payments by hand (or use another script).

> multisig or escrow capable

Yes that would probably be necessary to attract more vendors. I didn’t look that much into escrow services yet, maybe there is a smart way to integrate one.

A different approach to removing trust issues could be that you let merchants add their own xpub key and charge a flat payment per listing instead of a commission per order. This sounds like a fun project and depending on your budget I would be up for it… ??

thanks so much for your time and input.. i will certainly consider crytpowoo to replace bitcoinways failing plugin…

ill work on my current projects for now but will certainly contact you if i want something custom as you seem to be the most knowledgeable and most available out of any i have seen… one im considering is a precious metals for bitcoin site.. so i would need a plugin that monitored silver gold etc prices and adjusted the bitcoin price accordingly with that whole 1.05 etc thing so i can make more in bitcoin than it would be in us dollars… ballpark? i mean im not ready right now for that besides owning the domains, but id like an idea of where i need to be so i dont waste your time when i feel im ready…

thanks ao much for your time it was appreciated…

You’re welcome. It’s a taste of the level of support you receive when you own a CryptoWoo license. ??

And yeah, it should be possible to adjust the multiplier setting based on an API that delivers prices for precious metals.

Let me know when you’re ready to get something started! You can find my contact info on https://www.cryptowoo.com/contact

oh, nevermind.. found one that does the precious metals…

yes that is excellent service… thanks again..

Cryptowoo is amazing and we gotta support the guys who make AND support plugins like that.

Cryptowoo is totally middlemanless and it works and has tons of features. Dev is also supporting it consistently.

I unfortunately threw in towel with the gesman plugin. Its just too dificult getting much commitment and dev seems to think it works but it just doesnt.half the time.

yeah im definately gonna make the switch as well as try his other plugins for other reasons… seemstohave his acttogether and does it legit as a business… gesman seems to be a hobbyist with a great idea but fell out when not enough donations etc… shoulda just madeit paid and developped it… i will be making the switch soon… good karma all…

andthe cost is infinitely cheap considering the service etc and no middlemen… that was my thing.. i assumed like most bit apps id loose a percent every transaction… def willing to pay for the app and service of a working app… just not the percent thing…

its a drop in the bucket paying for the cryptowoo plugin..

u have a dev who supports u and doesnt make u spend 100 hours pulling ur hair out.

u have a system that is obviously being built to be flexible and future proof in many different ways.

and its officially actively still being developed as opposed to half in and half out the door.

i believe cryptowoo (+ the old gesman plugin were the ONLY two publicly available plugins that REALLY did middleman’less payments with btc.

I heard of a million different plugins that supposedly did this but literally NONE of them really did. Either they were cheap ripoffs of the gesman plugin or they were completely tied into some proprietary API or service which meant they either broke easily because they were so dependent on shoddy services or were trying to trick the fools to somehow pay a %.

I really like the cryptowoo model and i cant praise it enough. It’ll likely get nicer as time goes along and people grow their sites on it and get good feedback together + enhancement requests, etc.

We cant really expect this stuff to be free and id urge everybody not to bootleg this plugin, pay the reasonable fee and contribute help or money beyond that otherwise we wont have this thing forever.
