Hello everyone,


Can someone please let me know which wordpress plugin is the best for accepting cryptocurrency payments on a wordpress website? The plugin should tick these criteria

1) Let me hold my own private keys (be trustworthy)

2) Be hierarchical deterministic (HD) so that all addresses generated are different. (no clash)

3) Offer a different crypto payment options (mainly BTC / LTC / ETH / BCH)



Thanks

The most widely used non-custodial Bitcoin payment processor that I know, is BTCPay (https://btcpayserver.org/).

It can be installed in WordPress as explained here:
https://docs.btcpayserver.org/WooCommerce/#1-install-btcpay-plugin

Keep in mind the BEST way to run BTCPay is to host it yourself. There are hosted options out there, BUT you will need to trust the other party.
Also, although BTCPay does support other cryptos, I don't know of any hosted ones that do. They might be out there, I just never looked.
So long as you have the storage space for the blockchain(s) there is no reason you can't do it yourself with a little bit of programming.

Ouch! This is a difficult one.

Just a note; these criteria usually come with a running node too. For instance, as far as I know, BTCPay, that is mentioned above and it's very recommended from me, requires you to run a node, which is an extra cost for your business. The specific one allows lightning payments too which is nowadays considered a must for the customers.

For an easy installation of a BTCPay server with extras included check Umbrel (https://getumbrel.com/).

I think what you looking for is in MyCryptoCheckout plugin but I don't know if they support adding HD wallet with xPub or zPub but you can able to do it on Bitcoin.

They have an announcement and account here you can check them from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4673859.0

I tested them but I never used them on a live WordPress site. Their free is limited to 5 transactions and for the unlimited transaction, you will need to pay around $59.

Another alternative is Coinbase commerce (https://commerce.coinbase.com/?lang=en) they don't require any documents or no KYC.
But you need to make an account on their commerce page the wallet generation is included so you need to save all backups including seed backup for your wallet recovery in the future.
It's not the same as BTCpay that you just need to add a master public key(xPub). However, you still own the keys that you generated from Coinbase Commerce.

Just use NOWPayments and you won't need any Wordpress plugin. They provide a snippet of HTML code in their docs (or just copy it from my website) that you can just post in a Wordpress "custom html" widget they renders a nice button and then they handle the heavy work of accepting different crypto currencies, converting them, and relaying the payment to you. You just need to create an API key on the site.

There is no good Wordpress plugin for crypto payments, most of them are out of date or will just crash your server backend.
