You can read check this thread, you will see it helpful. You can also move this to 'bitcoin technical support'

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5261288.0

Check this list ---> https://github.com/alexk111/awesome-bitcoin-payment-processors
It contains a list of most of the methods that you can use, some of these methods do not require any technical expertise and the other requires some modifications.
If you want to transfer crypto to fiat, the best option is https://coingate.com/accept-bitcoin.
If you have some technical knowledge, you can try https://btcpayserver.org/ with https://www.blockonomics.co/views/payment_forwarding.html.

You can use any provider like Bitpay.

Bitpay isn't well-liked in this community...

You can read the reasons in sites like this one: https://debitpay.directory/anti-bitcoin/ (not my site)

Instead of bitpay, why not use btcpayserver, or run a core or electrum daemon and use the json-rpc interface directly

As per checking your website, your site is not directly the website you use to sell your products. There is a way to add Bitcoin payment to your website. However, you need to re-design or add some features like product page, checkout page, and many more to become an e-commerce website. And of course, you need to use Woocommerce to use their BTCpay plugins.

All the site’s link are seemingly pointing to Amazon. OP is an Amazon associate, and rightfully may earn commissions by redirecting traffic there to fulfil the purchases. Nevertheless, I have seen a couple of posts recently that give some crypto related context in their post, and then leave a link to a site (non-crypto related), with little intention on coming back over the matter, in the hope to gain traffic. Hopefully, it won’t be the case, but chances are …

Of course, you can do this easily,  All you have to do is to install WordPress plugin after that you can easily sell goods on your website.

For now, you can install this plugin and see if it works on your website. https://github.com/cryptoapi/Bitcoin-Wordpress-Plugin

This is an open-source plugin, you can also use it for learning purpose.

Quite sure OP is just making backlinks for his websites on various forums and platforms like these.

Also, If this is not the case, then you can look into: https://bitpay.com/
They are well documented and really a great way of accepting Crypto, not just BTC.

I actually helped with the technical details of setting up https://www.merel.mobi for somebody i know from the crypto community.

We picked my btcpayserver as a primary backend, with on-chain payments going directly to the owner's wallet and off-chain payments made to me (and forewarded to the owner afterwards).

We use "BTCPay for WooCommerce" as a primary plugin and "Nomiddleman Bitcoin and Crypto Payments for WooCommerce" as a fallback method.

"BTCPay for WooCommerce" works really good, but btcpay is a bit slow-ish... "Nomiddleman Bitcoin and Crypto Payments for WooCommerce" works like it's supposed to work, but to the enduser it looks like a non-automated platform (the QR code for payments is just shown on the invoice, while the btcpay plugin actually sends the user to a payment gateway where he's shown a qr code, a timer,...). Also, for "Nomiddleman Bitcoin and Crypto Payments for WooCommerce" you'll have to go into the "experimental" settings so your users get a unique payment address derived from a master public key (the default setting is having a pre-generated addresspool, one address getting picked and potentially reused)
