Prestashop Module

[breandan81]

I'm beginning work on a module for prestashop to accept bitcoins using mybitcoin's sci toolkit.  Is there anyone else interested in this project?  even better would be someone with PHP experience because I'm kinda working blind, I think  i can figure it out but it's gonna take a while.  If/when it is working I'll post a link somewhere here.  I think it would be really helpful for the whole bitcoin economy if an easy to use FOSS shopping cart had a ready to use payment module.  Cheers

I am interested. So, whats the progress?
Is it going to be opensource?

[fabianhjr]

Pledge cancelled, no interest shown. ):

[breandan81]

Whoa, been busy lately just saw that there was actually interest in this.  It would be open source, I was actually thinking of using mybitcoin to do it, I guess I can look into a way to do it without an intermediary.  Not sure how that would work.  I'm going to try to do a bunch of stuff over the holidays, hopefully I can something working.  I'll post it here when I have something.

[fabianhjr]

Hey, thanks. Yeah. I will keep mining and maybe increase the pledge if I got the moneyz. :-)

[breandan81]

When it actually works I'll prolly just ask for small voluntary donations by paypal or bitcoin.  I've been working on another (more urgent) prestashop module this week, and I've learned a lot, so I think I'll be able to have it up soon.  If there is anyone else working on something similar though, I'd appreciate a message or an email so we can avoid duplicating effort.

I would donate some coins for this module

[fabianhjr]

Me too! Cmon Ubercart already has a module!(At least I think it does) I am mining and currently offer(Of what I already got): 6 BTC. Going to offer more as they come!

[breandan81]

I wasn't aware of the ubercart module, I'll have to look at how they did that.

is this available?

Actually I was working on it yesterday, sorry it's been kinda slow.  At first I was just generating a payment string for mybitcoin, but I realized that it was going to be too easy to spoof the receipt script so now I'm using the SCI toolkit.  It'll be ready soon, like I say, sorry it's taking me so long.

You don't have to apologize, I'm glad you're still busy with it and it's better to wait for a good secure mod than have an instant buggy mod.
Take your time and let us know when it's done, I've put some coins aside for this one.

I was looking for something like this.  I don't know what prestashop and ubercart are, but I would like more information if possible.

[fabianhjr]

Does anyone know what are the fees for a merchant at MtGox and if it supports sending bitcoins to an BTC address instead of a MtGox address during checkout?

[wobber]

How do you integrate a bitcoin payment into a Prestashop shop?

I'm in for this pledge with 15 BTC

[Mahkul]

I would pledge 25 BTC for such a module.

[grondilu]

I don't really need this but I pledge 1 BTC.

[breandan81]

basically what you would do is add the modules to your modules directory in your prestashop install, then go in through the backend site of your shop and click install, then set your mybitcoin info from the merchant tools part of that site.  You don't have to leave your bitcoins on mybitcoin, you can set it to forward to any address from there.  Mybitcoin will translate your dollar prices using their latest exchange rates, and then the purchase will go through when it verifies the transaction took place.  Apologies again, I'll find some time to work on it tomorrow again, it's doing ok, but I just haven't had much time to spend on it, and even though it's not much code the prestashop module thing was pretty new to me.

[breandan81]

OK, sorry it took me forever, now that I see how everything fits together the whole thing is actually very simple.
