BitcoinPayflow.com - New hosted payment gateway for merchants

[jirhak]

Our goal is to help Bitcoin be the currency it should be, rather than a commodity that it has been. Check us out at https://bitcoinpayflow.com

We soft-launched about four weeks ago and have received great feedback from the Bitcoin community since then. Consider this post the *official* launch of our service =).

We've already received quite a few requests for customized integration help. Unfortunately, we have limited time and would prefer to put our efforts into maintaining a reliable and secure product.

The good news is that these forums are a great resource for creative thinkers and brilliant coders...hopefully this thread can bring everyone together. Feel free to post if you're:

  . Looking for someone to help integrate BitcoinPayflow into your site
  . Willing to help others integrate our payment gateway (both for free and for hire)
  . Have any questions or suggestions about our service
 
If you've developed (or are developing) pluggable modules for integrating BitcoinPayflow into e-commerce solutions (i.e. WHMCS, Magento, Prestashop, etc.) we'd love to hear from you and list your modules on our site.

Thanks!

Looks great. I might try this.  I have one one question.  I'm not all savvy with the forms and stuff.  If I wanted to gather the persons shipping address, would that be done on your form and sent to me or would I have to make a seperate form to direct the person to after payment is made?

Your website will still collect buyer's shipping information. When payment received, we will ping you back with the order id you passed to us. Your system will match the record and ship the item.

I'm looking into a replacement for mybitcoin. I had one question on your service.
It seems that you forward payments directly to the bitcoin address provided by merchant, so no e-wallet/account balance.
However the part that talks about refunds seems to indicate that there is an e-wallet/account balance.

Could you shed some light on how that works?

Hi,

We do not keep your account balance. We always forward your all payments. In the case of refund, we will forward to buyer the refund first before we forward you the remaining. For example, if you have 2 buyers paid 10BTCs total, and have another refund order for 2BTCs. We will forward you 8 BTCs.

So, if I understand correctly, the refund is held until a new purchase is done by someone?

Correct.

It works for the most part, with some intermediate downtime. You can try contacting the developer, Eric Zou, at hello@ericzou.com. His website is http://ericzou.com/.

This is interesting but since then www.bitping.net has offered to send payment notifications for payments received on foreign addresses registered through an automated API.
It works great and avoids the trust problem of forwarding payments. I have integrated bitping in an online shop I plan to release next month.
