For Merchants and Businesses

CoinGate (https://coingate.com) enables both online and retail businesses to accept Bitcoin payments easily and safely.
We offer seamless integration through our API (https://developer.coingate.com/), payment buttons (https://coingate.com/button), or plugins for eCommerce platforms (https://coingate.com/plugins).

About our payment processing service:

• At CoinGate, we not only value YOU as our client, but YOUR CUSTOMERS as well. We are proud that our Bitcoin exchange rates are among the best on the market.
  We source the price from 3 different exchanges, which is why your customer will save money when buying through our gateway.
  See the research conducted by a community member on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5bulbv/a_comparison_of_7_bitcoin_payment_processors_and/
  
  
• We charge only 1% from the amount transacted, and there are no monthly, registration or other fees.
  
  
  
• You can choose to receive payouts in EUR, USD or Bitcoin without any additional charges.
  Verification is NOT REQUIRED for businesses that wish to keep the bitcoins earned to provide us with any verification documents.
  Verification is REQUIRED for merchants that want to receive payouts in EUR/USD.
  
  
• Our platform ensures that Bitcoin transactions are settled momentarily, without the need to wait for confirmations in the blockchain.
  In addition, we guarantee that we will always pay what you earned - no doublespending, no chargebacks, no excuses from us, ever.
  
  
• CoinGate currently offers plugins/modules for these eCommerce platforms: PrestaShop, Magento 1 and 2, OpenCart, WooCommerce, OsCommerce, ZenCart, WHMCS, and VirtueMart.
  We regularly update our modules and make sure they are fully compatible with the latest versions of eCommerce platforms.
  
  
• A unique feature we have recently implemented, is the option for merchants to manually set the invoice expiration time, if they choose to keep the bitcoins earned. This is extremely relevant for online businesses that deal with customers who use Web wallets, third party services, or exchanges to make Bitcoin payments. Since, more often than not, such payments arrive much later than the standard 10-15 minutes that the invoice lasts, merchants must deal with late payments manually. Our platform now allows you to increase invoice expiration time from 10 minutes to a maximum of 2 hours.
  
  

* Please note that, due to regulatory reasons, businesses located or registered in the United States of America can not use our services. We do, however, allow businesses to deal with customers from the US. *

For Traders

We currently offer our customers to Buy and Sell bitcoins on our platform via bank transfers. In addition, we are currently working to implement additional payment methods, and we will post updates here as soon as we have news.

• We source the Bitcoin exchange rate from three different exchanges, ensuring that you will always receive the best possible value for your money.
  
  
• We charge a flat 3% for our Trade feature using bank transfers. There are no other features for you - when making payouts, we assume all transaction fees.
  
  
• Our Referral Program offers you to receive up to 1/3 of the fees generated by traders who signed up with your unique link.

This sound useful feature so if merchants like to keep bitcoins does the bitcoin paid in invoice will be send directly to merchant's bitcoin address instantly?

I wish you best of luck, your services is a real contribution to the Bitcoin industry and you look promising.

Keep it up.

Fiat deposit is really a great diferencial in exchange, this is good!
What is your daily volume?

If you want a portuguese translation, send me a pm to discuss about this.

Best regards, Shooter

Can vouch for this!
Have used it for my site and it's pretty good.
I get withdrawal in max 12 hours..

Also,the best thing is that they don't need VERTIFICATIONS for BTC payments!

Just looked over you API code. Very simple and approachable even for people that know little about coding. All you have to do is send get/post request with parameters. You got one good feature there but I haven't heard about you before so I'll wait a bit longer before I start using your API in my projects.

When you say that you settle "momentarily" and claim there will never be chargebacks or anything but also don't require confirmations, what happens if someone successfully double-spends? Are you going out of pocket to cover those costs?

Do you have an API to generate new bitcoin address or send and receive btc, or something to check bitcoin address?

whether you are providing good services to customers means definitely many people will start using your services, but design is some what out dated not looking good. I want to ask one more question suppose if we buy with credit so that bitcoin will credited instantly or it will take some. You are accepting credit card payments from all countries.

Hi mombay!

I hope I understood your question correctly. Our API generates a new Bitcoin address for each invoice, but we do not payout straight into your wallet - only upon withdrawal request. We focus on enabling Bitcoin payments safely and securely, but we do not offer Wallet services - you will receive payouts to your personal wallet. So, if you were asking if our API provides the option to both send and receive bitcoins, the answer is no.

Hi mkmdoc,

We are aware that our design is not that fresh, and we are working on it!

Credit card payments will be launched on CoinGate very soon, this month actually. Bitcoins bought with credit card will be credited to your wallet with a small delay, typically within 2 hours, but usually much faster. You will be able to buy from any country, as long as you pass the risk assessment (you will have to verify your phone number and upload a valid ID document).

When we were trying to accept BTC payments on our website www.galeriademoda.com (http://www.galeriademoda.com), we played around with several BTC Payment Gateways including yours. We are currently creating CoinSimple invoices and accepting BTC payments, but in the future we will be looking to move to a semi-automated or a fully automated payment experience.

Each of these payment gateways had their own issues that we were unhappy about. There were two main things about your service that were deal breakers for us and I was just wondering if these will be improved in the future?

Firstly, the payment pages are very ugly. We were a big fan of the "Slider" button, but here is what I mean... people will be put off after taking one look at this page https://coingate.com/pay/test_slider_button (https://coingate.com/pay/test_slider_button). We played with all fonts, colours, backgrounds, but it didn't help.

Secondly, we could not embed this form and host it on our website. It just did not work. Is this feature available? Will it be available in the future? Here is an example of what we did using GoCoin's form, take a look http://galeriademoda.com/experimentdonotuse (http://galeriademoda.com/experimentdonotuse). We probably won't be using GoCoin as support was extremely slow to understand problems and respond (Certificate errors were showing up on their pages, forms).

Any plans for coingate to be available on Shopify?
We really need something other than bitpay,coinbase...
