WooCommerce itself is a WordPress plugin for creating an e-commerce dynamic website. There are cryptocurrency plugins available both free and paid that can be integrated into your website in just a few clicks. I found an article where you can go through the list of plugins through which you can accept Bitcoin as a payment on your website. You can check this article: 14 Best WordPress Crypto Plugins for Getting Your Cryptocurrency Website Ready in 2023.

I found something from our community, Apirone.com - crypto payments gateway (just a disclaimer, I'm not related to this project).

Or maybe this also will help,  7 Best WooCommerce Cryptocurrency Payment Gateways ₿ 2023 (Free & Paid).

Best of luck in your integration and also to you website.

Another consideration is how you would like to integrate the payment options. Do you want to keep the funds on bitcoin or straightly convert it to FIAT? Do you want to self-host the payment processor or do you want to use a third party?

It also depends on your needs, managing a self-host option requires a further resource, both time and money, to configure and secure it. If your business does not require a short cash flow you may want to consider just keeping on bitcoin, or vice-versa. So another question besides giving users a Bitcoin payment option is to consider those things.

In most conditions associated to this, if you're inexperienced in making the development and not having the skills on the use of API and other softwares with the use of digital technology, why not employ a developer or those experienced in it to help you create a coordinated payment gateway through the use of the modern API system and technology and you monitor the whole process, this is to avoid making errors if you're not experienced at all in it, but you can always have the best security measures to ensure that the whole system is under your surveillance.

For this, you need to look into managed BTCPayServer. Self-hosting it is going to be a big pain because it consumes a lot of resources (full node, block explorer, ...), but a managed provider like the ones on BTCPayServer's site will run these for you for a few dollars a month. They do not have custody of the coins, as BTCPayServer only uses your wallet's master public key to receive coins.

If you want to convert BTC into fiat after you receive it, then why don't you simply receive it in fiat in the first place?

Thank you again for all the suggestions. That Multi CryptoCurrency plugin sounds promising.

I would like to host everything on the web server along with the website if possible. Couldn't the processing be done using just a plugin? The funds don't need to be converted instantly.

That's going to be too much for the wordpress server to handle unless the actual processing is done by a third party service, like CoinPayments, or in the case of open-source, some BTCPayServer instance.

BTCPayServer in particular needs its own (sub)domain and certificate to go with it, so if you're using managed wordpress hosting then this will be a problem for them to do automatically.

Interesting. I didn't know that could be an issue.

If I am not wrong, you can use the plugins which are available and they can help you to establish Crypto or Bitcoin payments to your e-commerce website.
Coinpayments is also a service which I have seen on various websites, they do provide an interface for payments and Coinbase too. Coinbase payments provide user option to pay with Crypto.

Simply for the sake of offering people to pay with bitcoin. Or giving the business brand awareness idea of "accepting bitcoin".

If you want to implement it as simply as installing a plugin, I believe using a managed third-party is the most reasonable option. They do all the integration and you will receive the bitcoin.

With this option, things to consider are its fees and any legal requirements like KYC, etc. that some services might require. Other than CoinPayments and BTCPayServer instances, you should compare other similar platforms that offer the same service or requirements that you need.

BTCPayServer is the recommended one but it requires a node but you can set your node to prune mode if you don't want to download the entire blockchain or use their demo live.

However, if you don't want a very technical way to set up a payment gateway then I suggest this one below it only requires you to register on their site and then provide your xPub where all generated invoices/addresses come from your wallet that you fully control.

I am sure this article will help you here,

I have seen Coingate payment gateway working with some big names already. But do your own research as I can't vouch for them. It's a simple plugin installation. Once installed, you can configure it from woocommerce settings.

Woocommerce-based websites have built-in Plugin integration for the BTC payment system. You can easily do it by following the steps in the following link: https://coingate.com/blog/post/install-woocommerce-bitcoin-plugin other than Plugins you do need APIs. You can look for the following APIs:

BitPay
Coinbase Commerce
CoinGate
The best practice for you is to look for the best among the above because each has different rates and different benefits so decide on your own which suits you best.

Thank you, BitMaxz. I'll talk to my developer about this API and let him decide if it's better to use an existing plugin. The pricing model of the API seems reasonable.
avikz and GbitG: Thx for the inspiration.

It seems the BTCPay server supports WooCommerce integration. Here you may find your desired answers and video tutorials on how it should be integrated. Please take a look: https://docs.btcpayserver.org/FAQ/Integrations/#how-to-use-woocommerce-store-with-btcpay
Since the BTCPay server is supported, I won't prefer any other payment gateway. Because for others, you won't have full access to the funds since they will not provide your seed. Try to avoid custodial payment gateways if you can use the BTCPay server.
