Title: BitCoin Merchant Service
Post by: gazoakley on July 24, 2010, 11:04:32 AM
Hello  :)

I've been working setting up my own payment site for the last few days: http://www.bitcoinpay.com/ (http://www.bitcoinpay.com/). I'm currently looking to stock it with a few denominations of Amazon.co.uk gift vouchers for sale, but I also have a generic payment system which does callbacks. You can have a look at example transaction here:

https://secure.bitcoinpay.com/checkout/?merchant_id=1&merchant_order=24&amount=1.000000 (https://secure.bitcoinpay.com/checkout/?merchant_id=1&merchant_order=24&amount=1.000000)

If anyone else is interested in using it give us a shout - it automatically:

Generates a BitCoin address for the transaction
Presents the user with a nice page (which can be modified to taste) asking for payment
Gives one click access to payment services such as MyBitCoin and Vekja
Keeps note of payments made to that address
Upon hitting the amount specified sends a callback to the merchant
Allows the user to see how much has been recieved along with number of confirmations

There's an UberCart module in beta right now, and I'm looking to make plugins for OSCommerce and ZenCart.

Update: After 2 confirmations the payment is sent straight to the merchant. You don't need to withdraw as such.

If you're actually buying gift certificates and you've started a new order go for it :). Remember that those vouchers are for Amazon.co.uk and not Amazon.com. If you have any problems give us a shout - I've not stocked many vouchers on there yet as I'm somewhat testing the waters.

How does one obtain a merchant id?

@jgarzik - Send me a private message detailing:

  • Name of shop
  • URL
  • BitCoin address for payments
  • Shop software you are using/intend to use - e.g. UberCart/ZenCart/OSCommerce/Other

I'll take a look at your site and get the ball rolling.

Don't have a site yet.  I was hoping to test, and determine if you software was usable enough to create one :)

Do you buy them to order or keep a selection in stock @noagendamarket ? Maybe we could work together on a bigger combined store? :)
