As a merchant using CoinGate payment processing services, you can improve your customer experience and conversions at the checkout by using our extended API functionality to prolong invoice expiration time.
Note that this feature is only available when the payment and receive currencies are the same!
We have two features that make the payment experience a bit more convenient for customers – invoice time extension and accepting underpayments. We strongly recommend using them to prevent possible issues. 
<a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/bitcoin-merchant-accept-underpaid-orders">Accepting slight underpayments</a> ensures that your received payments will come through smoothly in case the customer sends the transaction from a service that deducts a fee from the sent amount (such as an exchange). However, this particular blog post covers the feature allowing you to prolong the time window during which customers can complete the payment.
<h2>Why extending the invoice expiration time is a good idea</h2>
Paying with Bitcoin for the first time might be a daunting task for the regular customer. The customer has to, first of all, set up a wallet, buy some bitcoins, and then send a precise amount to the invoice address.
Extending your invoice expiration time allows more time for customers to complete the payment. The feature is useful because, to make payments, many Bitcoin newcomers use third-party services that delay transactions. Such services include, but are not limited to, exchanges and web wallets. 
Please note that the feature is not available for merchants that receive Bitcoin EUR/USD payouts.
Example issue:
<blockquote>A customer checks out on your store with Bitcoin and lands on our invoice page. The total payment amount equals 0.1 BTC.
The customer copy-pastes the amount and payment address to a Bitcoin exchange.
The exchange, in fact, does not process and send the bitcoins immediately, but rather completes the withdrawal after 30 minutes.
As a consequence, the 0.1 BTC transaction reaches the invoice after the 20 minute time window has passed and the invoice has expired, meaning that the order does not get processed automatically.
The customer contacts the merchant and CoinGate about payment status, we locate the transaction and proceed from there.</blockquote>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">How to extend the invoice expiration time</h2>
Bitcoin is still a rather new thing in the payments industry. As such, quite a few technical barriers exist that make Bitcoin seem complicated to use for newcomers. Therefore, we have developed that allows you to extend invoice expiration time, making the payment experience less stressful for customers. 
Our experience shows that increasing invoice expiration time ensures that there are very few payment issues that need to be dealt with manually (both for the merchant, and for us, the payment processor). 
The steps to access this feature are as follows:
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Login to your CoinGate account dashboard;</li>
<li>Locate the Merchant Tool(s) you are currently using: API, Payment Button or POS app;</li>
<li>On your right-hand side, open up the menu and click Edit;</li>
<li>From there, locate Invoice Time and select your preferred invoice expiration time window. You may have to click on “Show Advanced Settings” to see the feature. </li>
</ol>

We recommend setting the parameter to 2 hours. From our experience, is more than enough time for a customer to complete the transaction, even if sent from an exchange. However, depending on your needs, it is possible to set the timer anywhere between 20 minutes and 24 hours.

Extend Invoice Expiration Time: Merchant How-To

As a Merchant using our payment gateway, you can improve your customer experience and conversions at checkout by using our extended API functionality to accept underpaid orders automatically. 
We have 2 features that make the payment experience a bit more convenient for customers. We strongly recommend using them to prevent the bulk of issues that arise with Bitcoin payments.
This blog post covers the latter feature, enabling you to process payments that are partially paid, i.e. slightly underpaid.
Paying with Bitcoin for the first time might be a daunting task for the regular customer. The customer has to, first of all, set up a wallet, then buy some bitcoins, and then send a precise amount of bitcoins to the invoice address in a relatively short amount of time.
Extending invoice expiration time (<a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000080;" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/bitcoin-merchant-extend-invoice-expiration-time">covered here</a>) allows more time for customers to complete the payment. Please note, the feature is only possible for merchants that receive Bitcoin payouts, and not EUR/USD.
For the same reason, accepting slight underpayments is also a good choice. In addition to delaying the transaction, exchanges often deduct a fee when sending it. Therefore, the amount of bitcoins the customer sends to an invoice is too low to cover the payment in full. As a result, the invoice expires and the customer faces the issue of having to send support inquiries about the status of their payment.
Example issue:
<blockquote>
A customer checks out on your store with Bitcoin and lands on our invoice page.
The total payment amount equals 0.15682413 BTC. 
Assuming everything should work fine, the customer copy-pastes the amount and payment address to a Bitcoin exchange.
After a successful withdrawal, the exchange deducts a fee of 0.0005 BTC. The transaction that reaches our invoice is 0.15632413 BTC, exactly 0.0005 BTC short of the total order amount.
The payment, naturally, does not go through, because it is incomplete. Then, the customer notices the issue and has to send another 0.0005 BTC to cover the missing amount. Or, in a more typical scenario, the invoice expires and the customer is left to wonder what happened to his payment.
The customer contacts the merchant and CoinGate about payment status, we locate the transaction and proceed from there.
</blockquote>
<h3>How to accept underpaid orders automatically</h3>
We are very sure that this feature will highly improve your customer experience and satisfaction, especially for the first-time buyers. For you as a merchant, more of your received payments will come through smoothly, there will be fewer support issues and less expired orders.
The steps to access this feature are as follows:
<ol>
<li>login to your CoinGate account dashboard</li>
<li>locate the Merchant Tool(s) you are currently using: API, Payment Button or POS app</li>
<li>on your right handside, open up the menu and click Edit</li>
<li>from there, locate and then adjust the slider next to Max % of Order Amount to Cover. You may have to click on “Show Advanced Settings” to see the feature. </li>
</ol>
You can choose to accept underpaid orders of up to 10%, though we recommend going for a smaller amount, such as 1-2%. The latter threshold will most likely cover over 90% of orders that are accidentally underpaid.

First, sign up for an account on CoinGate. For production, use our main website: <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/">https://coingate.com</a>. But before you go live, you may want to do some testing, to make sure everything works nicely. For this purpose, we have a sandbox environment: <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://sandbox.coingate.com/">https://sandbox.coingate.com</a> – just remember to create an account here even if you already have one on our main website.
To ensure that CoinGate payment gateway is working properly on your website via our osCommerce Bitcoin addon, we will go over these three quick steps:
<ol>
<li>Setup API credentials on CoinGate.</li>
<li>Download the CoinGate Bitcoin addon for osCommerce.</li>
<li>Install and configure the addon in osCommerce admin panel.</li>
</ol>
For the testing mode to work, you must generate separate API credentials on <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://sandbox.coingate.com/">https://sandbox.coingate.com</a>, since API credentials generated on <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://coingate.com/">https://coingate.com</a> will not work in the sandbox environment. To create a set of API credentials, either complete the auto-setup wizzard, or find the API tab on the menu, click “Apps”, and then click “+New App”.
Please note, this guide was created using osCommerce 2.3.4, but is also useful for installing older or upcoming versions.
<h2>Step-by-step guide for setting up osCommerce addon</h2>
<h3>1. Download the CoinGate Bitcoin payment addon for osCommerce and upload files to your osCommerce installation directory</h3>
You can always find the latest version on our <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://github.com/coingate/oscommerce-plugin">GitHub repository</a>. The current version (1.0.1) is directly available here: <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://github.com/coingate/oscommerce-plugin/releases/download/v1.0.1/coingate-oscommerce-1.0.1.zip">oscommerce-coingate.zip</a>.
Extract the downloaded zip file. Upload includes directory and coingate_callback.php file to the root directory of your osCommerce installation.
<h3>2. Locate and install CoinGate osCommerce Bitcoin addon</h3>
Login to your osCommerce admin panel, go to Modules tab and click Payment. Then, click on Install Module at the top right corner, locate Bitcoin via CoinGate, and click on Install Module at the top of the panel on the right.

<h3>3. Enable the module and configure API credentials and receive currency parameter</h3>
To enable the CoinGate osCommerce Bitcoin addon, click on Edit on the right hand-side panel, and select option True below Enable CoinGate Module.
Then, enter your API credentials below CoinGate APP ID. If you have not yet created your API credentials (App ID, API Key, API Secret), then it is a good time to do this now. Login to your CoinGate account, go to API » Apps, click +New App, then click Submit (or follow <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://dashboard.coingate.com/account/apps/new">this link</a> directly).
Now, set the Receive Currency parameter to the currency in which you wish to receive your payouts from CoinGate. Please note, if you set it to EUR or USD, you must pass Level 2 Merchant verification before you can receive payouts (by uploading your identification, business registration and address proof documents). If you set Receive currency to BTC (Bitcoin), then verification is not needed.
If you are using Sandbox API credentials, then select True below Enable test mode? The Sandbox mode runs on Testnet bitcoins, which you can obtain <a class="keychainify-checked" style="color: #000000;" href="https://testnet.coinfaucet.eu/en/">here</a> (you will also need a Bitcoin wallet that supports Testnet bitcoins).
Finally, scroll down and click Save (or check next step for optional configuration parameters).

After configuring the above parameters, you can also modify order statuses that your osCommerce store will display for orders placed through CoinGate.
<ul>
<li>Pending status is displayed for all new orders that have not been paid or expired.</li>
<li>Paid status will be shown when the customer’s payment is received and verified on the blockchain.</li>
<li>Invalid status is shown if the payment made by the customer was not valid (e.g. a double-spend attempt).</li>
<li>Expired status indicates that the invoice timer ran out and payment was not received within the required timeframe.</li>
<li>Cancelled status is only shown when a customer clicks Cancel on the invoice.</li>
</ul>
After making the required adjustments, click Save at the bottom – setup is now complete!
