Title: Building an online store, seeking aid. Post by: MoonShadow on January 08, 2011, 03:56:56 AM http://anything4bitcoin.secure2cart.com/index.html
Do any of the developers here have advice about how I might go about translating the ecommerce site seen here to display and use Bitcoin instead of US$?

1. Add Bitcoin as a currency. 2. Add a Bitcoin transaction system. I'd be glad to talk with you about this, just PM me. I'm working on a Bitcoin back-end for Spreecommerce. http://spreecommerce.com/ It's a personal-time project, so progress is slow. My JSON-RPC library is here: https://github.com/jjeffus/rpcjson When it's finished you'll be able to set Bitcoin as the default currency for the shopping cart. Then offer Bitcoin as a payment method. - Jonathan Title: Re: Building an online store, seeking aid.

But the site looks nice. I look forward to seeing when it is ready! - Jared Title: Re: Building an online store, seeking aid. Post by: jgarzik on March 14, 2011, 03:34:52 PM I strongly recommend a merchant solution such as mybitcoin.com's SCI or mtgox.com's merchant API. Running a bitcoin node yourself is maintenance intensive, and requires additional knowledge on the part of the site owner.

Post by: praxeologist on March 14, 2011, 06:10:18 PM There is some sort of Prestashop module using mybitcoin SCI, but I haven't had time to figure it out yet. Send me a PM if interested and I will find the links for you.
