Nice News about Bitcoin Addoption

[okae]

CoinPayments.net already offers plugins for WordPress sites and other types of checkouts, and they accept Bitcoin as well as altcoins for 0.5%.

So unless you need OpenCart, it looks like CoinPayments.net is cheaper.

yep, for me the good news is not about that they are doing it, i mean bitcoinpay, since as you already said this is not "new", the good news is about that there is everyday more and more companies who start thinking about it, and this made me feel a positive feeling about the adoption of the bitcoin.

Sounds like great. Thanks for information. Digital payment options will rule the world.

any news about bitcoin is a good news as long as it attract more people to using bitcoin and move it forward in its adoption journey.

but this is not a direct accepting bitcoin, it is through a third party and also there would be additional fees involved to use their service. so i don't think it is that beneficial to use bitcoin instead of cash in this case!

I have found article in Cointelegraph

BitcoinPay has announced the launch of plugin for stores using the OpenCart Online Shopping Solution that allows integrating digital money payments into their e-commerce platforms.
That is really great,Merchants are free to choose to receive money in fiat or in bitcoin,easy integration,low fee

That is something what bitcoin needs to grow http://cointelegraph.com/news/115421/opencart-online-shops-welcome-bitcoin-payments

The part in bold is the most clear example that never will exist some currency free from the fees. There are to many the posts here in bitcointalk which exult the cheap of the movements or use of bitcoin. Bitcoin has fee in sending it from an wallet then are the fee of BitcoinPay (in this case). it will be some other fee invented by the merchants or by the banks if the bitcoin will be regulated in that given country and so on. The result: bitcoin in the same situation of the other currencies. Then why use it? It is not the same the credit card?

In this case 0.8% fee is not a big amount but is a fee. It is entered the concept of "fee" with bitcoin. The called "free currency". This is enough that tomorrow another invented thing between the customer and the merchants ask for another fee. Maybe even higher (0.9%). The road is opened. The fee will never die. And everyone will have reason. Will want to be paid for his "work" offered to the user of this work.

This is great news, for both Bitcoin and Bitpay. I am happy that Bitpay is bouncing back from their lay offs earlier this month and the story about $1.8 million hack.

This will also help Bitcoin as it will be much easier to integrate it for customers to receive payments in the future.

Is this a division of Bitpay? I do not think so... " BitcoinPay is also a daughter company of Confirmo LTD since 2013. Over 400 merchants use BitcoinPay services. " No mention is

made of it being part of Bitpay. Anyways it's good to see innovation in the merchant sector and new ways to adopt Bitcoin payment with plugins.

Anything to make Bitcoin more widespread... just a pity these companies just convert everything back into fiat.

I know what you mean but I don't see other way that people accept Bitcoin at the moment except this way, with the payment processors. Once we grow enough and become stable enough, payment processors will not be needed but know I think they are just necessary, especially for growing our user base and improving adoption. We just need to such people into our ecosystem, people that never heard of and used Bitcoin.

Is there anything new? There are several similar third party plugins available, right? I guess someone should make a comparison test between all of them. That would make a nice article. Who will do it first, coindesk or cointelegraph?

Well, maybe it has already been done.
