Title: Need help with Bitcoin integration to a website.
Post by: CTS on March 04, 2013, 01:00:18 PM
Hello Friends,

I am a web developer in PHP. Client has asked me to integrate Bitcoin as payment gateway. I have been searching and reading different documentations from past 2 weeks, but I am unable to find a solution.

1. Please advice me what API do I need?  ???
2. I need wallet for every user that registers on my website, so how to do that?  ???

All I need is to automatically generate BitCoin wallets and transfer of coins when a user sends it to other user.....

Please help me, else I am going to loose my job.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for reply. but I have checked these links. As I am a new programmer so I need some of documentation as other payment gateways provide like Paypal.

Please help me with that. Or if possible please provide me code, on which I can test it.

Regards

OK, usually when someone describes integrating bitcoin in a website they are referring to how you can accept bitcoins for payment.  That's not too difficult nowadays thanks to many e-commerce shopping cart module interfaces that have Bitcoin support -- especially if using a payment processor such as BitPay, WalletBit, etc.  

But what you are talking about is providing wallet services.  In other words, you are planning on having your site operate a hosted (shared) EWallet in which your customer's funds are held.  That is quite a bit different.  That's like building a bank, to some degree.  Such a project should begin with security considerations and functionality offered would only extend from there.  Here's good reading on the subject:

So you think you're going to start a Bitcoin business, right?
