How to accept Bitcoin on a website using Electrum

[ThomasV]

Electrum 2.4 can be used in to accept Bitcoin on a webserver, with signed payment requests.

I recently added this page to the documentation:
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/merchant.html

enjoy!

Good stuff Keep up the good work ThomasV
There is also this plugin for WordPress on WooCommerce which you can setup it using Electrum : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/installation/ not sure if it's created by you though .

The Wordpress plugin was not created by me, but I guess they could use this new tool.

Can anybody point me in right direction of how ud use this electrum feature with that worpress script?  It seems like u basically would need to stop relying on block explorers like blockchain.info and instead turn urself into the one running the block explorer checks via electrum?

This script works 90 percent of the way but i never got it to run its crinjobs reliably because of stuff like cloudflare blocks, etc. 

Anybody have an alternative to that plugin that a non-coder could run with a wordpress store (no middleman signups, just ur wordpress store and ur electrum wallet).  Ive seen similar plugins but theres always a middleman except for this plugin.
