Title: MtGox Checkout Button
Post by: coincollectingenterprises on October 04, 2012, 10:52:24 PM
Hello, has anyone ever used this button before? I'm working on integrating it into my site and have three "test" buttons up to see if it even actually works given I'm new to the concept. Given I sell coin bullion as physical assets, I need an actual address to ship to AND the ability to somehow verify the sender of the Bitcoins matches that address. Unfortunately, their checkout system doesn't appear to have that function so I simply made a redirect link (hopefully works) after purchase through them that takes you back to my site to fill out a form to answer a few questions and provide a shipping address that should match it all up.

This may sound silly, but I'm just kind of "waiting" for someone to purchase even the smallest amount up there so I can see it actually happen and see the process.

Does any of that make sense and, given I'm probably doing it wrong, any suggestions? Thoughts would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Why not take all the order information, and store it in a DB with an order ID and all the shipping information, then put that order ID in a browser cookie. After the user returns to your site from Mt Gox, read the order ID from the browser cookie and send out the products.

What could possibly go wrong?!

Try some of the other checkout services about

WalletBit: https://walletbit.com/ (https://walletbit.com/)
BitPay https://bitpay.com/ (https://bitpay.com/)

Surely you can just run through a few "test" orders yourself?

you should not run a shop live, which you have thoroughly tested.
