Title: Any Bitcoin/Wordpress developers in the house?

I think you would be quite popular with owners of Wordpress-based Bitcoin ecommerce sites if you could create a Wordpress affiliate plugin that pays out in Bitcoin. Could even be a premium plugin. #justsaying

I have WP plugins that use blockchain.info API and make license revenue off them.. Not much though and they are way more attractive ideas than this.

Some bitcoin payment processors actually have made WP plugins free to download.

It's extremely simple to make a payment gateway if that's all you need. Just set a product ID in the callback URL of whatever API you use and write a ~20 line handler in RoR, Python, Perl, ASP, or PHP.. No need for all the engagement features popular solutions have that cost you bandwidth/money..

I recommend to adapt an existing open source affiliate wordpress plugin by extending it with Bitcoin pay/payout feature. Developing it from scratch and market it as premium will not be profitable. The market is just too less in order to find an critical amount of paying customers.

Agree. One plugin with all common processors extended with bitcoins is better.

I just realized there is no reason for this thread to exist. Wordpress.org list dozens of highly-maintained plugins with big active install counts that support multiple crypto coins along with fiat gateways like Netseller and PayPal IPN.. Complete with back-end management.. Free..

If you made one it'd have to have better security and efficiency else nobody would care.. No money to be made and no solution to provide that isn't saturated..
