<img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-5970 size-full" src="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2017/05/2dd69382-woocommerce_plugin_blog.png" alt="woocommerce crypto plugin" width="1856" height="960" srcset="https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2017/05/2dd69382-woocommerce_plugin_blog.png 1856w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2017/05/2dd69382-woocommerce_plugin_blog-300x155.png 300w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2017/05/2dd69382-woocommerce_plugin_blog-1024x530.png 1024w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2017/05/2dd69382-woocommerce_plugin_blog-150x78.png 150w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2017/05/2dd69382-woocommerce_plugin_blog-768x397.png 768w, https://wp-blog-assets.coingate.com/2017/05/2dd69382-woocommerce_plugin_blog-1536x794.png 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1856px) 100vw, 1856px" />
Many choose to do business on WooCommerce for its flexible features, great functionality, and convenience of +100 payments gateways supported through WooCommerce Payments. 
However, merchants that expect to find bitcoin or other cryptocurrency payment options on WooCommerce Payments solution will be disappointed. The good news is that you do not have to rely solely on WooCommerce Payments to get those cryptos running on your online shop.
CoinGate payment processor offers several methods of crypto implementation, including an official, free <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/coingate-for-woocommerce/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shopping cart plugin for WooCommerce</a> users that allows accepting bitcoin and 70+ other cryptocurrencies with an option of crypto-to-fiat conversion.
<h2>WooCommerce extension for bitcoin payments</h2>
While there are several different ways to <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/accept" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accept cryptocurrency payments</a>, the easiest route for WooCommerce users, no matter the size of the business, is to use an extension dedicated to this exact purpose. 
Not only is it the easiest way, but it also comes with several benefits that users might find helpful beyond initial expectations. 
<h3>Fully automated payment gateway</h3>
Under the hood of the <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/plugins/woocommerce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WooCommerce plugin</a> developed by CoinGate is a whole crypto payment infrastructure that’s entirely automated and does not require constant maintenance. 
Once you set it up, you can leave it be – all payments will be collected, processed, converted to other currencies (if necessary), and paid out to an external wallet by request or a bank account (EUR, USD) automatically once a week. 
<h3>Order tracking, accounting, and management</h3>
The WooCommerce plugin for crypto payments requires merchants to <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://dashboard.coingate.com/register" target="_blank" rel="noopener">create an account on CoinGate</a>. Logging into CoinGate provides access to a dashboard where you can manage every aspect of your payment solution. 
It includes the ability to track the status of orders, <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/export-order-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">export relevant data</a> for accounting purposes, add other users to the account with <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/business-user-permissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">specific permissions</a> granted, and more.
<h3>Lightning Network support</h3>
A great feature of the WooCommerce crypto plugin from CoinGate is that it allows accepting both Bitcoin and Litecoin <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/lightning-network-payments-intro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lightning Network</a> (LN) payments. 
It means that merchants can receive transactions via CoinGate’s LN public node, which is something that many hardcore crypto-centric consumers will appreciate. Besides, it’s enabled by default, and no additional effort or setup is needed from merchants to take advantage of it.
<h3>Refunding crypto payments</h3>
It’s no secret that blockchain payments are irreversible, and the only way a shopper can get a refund is if the merchant sends back the money manually when asked. However, this is not the case for this particular plugin. 
To some extent, the CoinGate plugin for WooCommerce can issue refunds automatically. For example, if a consumer overpays for his order, he can initiate a refund for the overpaid amount, which will be paid out without the involvement of a merchant. 
The same goes for underpaid orders – a shopper can get his money back right away if the order is deemed not paid in full. 
<h3>Invoice customization</h3>
Customizing the invoice itself is a big part of what the CoinGate plugin is all about. By default, there are over 70 cryptocurrencies available to accept. Merchants can add or remove them and also change their positioning. 
It is also possible to:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/bitcoin-merchant-extend-invoice-expiration-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Extend the default invoice expiration time</a>;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Set merchandise prices on the invoice in any local fiat currency;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Configure the invoice to accept slightly underpaid orders.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Custom settlement options</h3>
Even though the plugin allows accepting numerous cryptocurrencies, it’s up to you in what form you wish to withdraw the collected amount. 
There are several options to choose from:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Keep a coin in its original form. For example, if you get paid in BTC, you are allowed to keep it as it is and request a payout to any wallet that you provide. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Convert any crypto earnings to fiat currencies. Let’s say you got some orders paid in XRP and LTC. You have the option to convert these coins to fiat currency (EUR, USD) and receive weekly payouts directly to a bank account. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Settle one cryptocurrency to another. You might receive LTC payments but choose to collect a payout in BTC or other cryptocurrencies instead.</li>
</ul>
<h3>More reasons to accept crypto with the WooCommerce module</h3>
There are plenty of other reasons to accept crypto payments besides all the features that the CoinGate plugin for WooCommerce has to offer. 
These reasons come from inherent blockchain qualities and include instant cross-border payments, lower transaction processing fees than credit cards, no risk of fraudulent chargebacks, etc. 
We talk about these and other reasons extensively in our blog dedicated to exploring <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/why-should-business-accept-crypto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">why it’s worth having crypto payment methods</a> set up.
<h2>How to install WooCommerce (WordPress) plugin for crypto payments? Step-by-step guide</h2>
Before we start, keep in mind that, for testing purposes, it is recommended to sign up for an account on <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://sandbox.coingate.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CoinGate Sandbox</a>, where you can test payment tools in a safe environment before going live.

Also, don’t forget to set the ‘Payout Currency’ parameter to the cryptocurrency or fiat in which you wish to receive your payouts. 
The “Do nothing” option in the plugin settings means that the WooCommerce order status will not change when the corresponding status is received via CoinGate callback. Optimal settings will be set by default during plugin installation.
Lastly, click ‘Save changes’.
<h3>Other methods of accepting crypto payments</h3>
A plugin is not the only way to utilize the CoinGate payment gateway for accepting crypto payments on your WooCommerce site. 
Merchants have an option to use several other methods, such as payment buttons, a Point-of-Sale (PoS) solution, and even <a class="keychainify-checked" href="https://coingate.com/billing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a billing service</a> that allows sending one-time bills via link or email, which can also be set up to bill customers recurrently.

CoinGate allows swapping 12 cryptocurrencies to 28 assets with over 250 pairs for a 0% fee. Make a single transfer from your wallet and receive the asset to your provided crypto address.&nbsp;



This step-by-step guide showcases the swapping process and briefly explains how it works.&nbsp;



<h2>Exchanging cryptocurrencies: a step-by-step guide</h2>



Swapping cryptocurrencies on CoinGate is easy. Once you <a href="https://dashboard.coingate.com/register" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">create a personal account</a> and <a href="https://coingate.com/blog/post/verify-trader-account-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">verify your identity</a>, go to your account dashboard, select the “Trader->Buy &amp; Sell” menu section and choose the “Exchange” option, or <a href="https://dashboard.coingate.com/account/trader/trade#swap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">click here</a> to begin.



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/lr3OkDXrxI7nw99OzUyBeOH1CGnXo5nElNLcdFm2JNMuYb7d576p2rDi7OsuDX4ClUXoAKLgnhj2lxSxBnCKvn3wveuLsjxOJErKnnYY_phak8RjQzvn1Kw7KGNBeWKmAjPp-706Qo4VRJ-E5A" alt="buy and sell"/></figure>



<h2>#1: Select coins to swap</h2>



The first step is to select cryptocurrencies that you wish to swap.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Rvc0nRUSZrrUMnMX__IEWVLeMmkTBXLPdG4gubJsifQ3ky81ado-aKYs9HCjpyJ9bljafP7PFIbTBBHT2EwrdGD5uFRqB9GxfrpIvUv1AK3UtPYJbURXWP5Ss62x9lIDADKZ8aGmlLENvHb5UA" alt="select coins to swap"/></figure>



You can swap any of these coins…&nbsp;



Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Tether (USDT), Bitcoin Vault (BTCV), Binance USD (BUSD), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), TRON (TRX), and Dai (DAI).



…to any of these coins:



Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Tether (USDT), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Chainlink (LINK), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Litecoin (LTC), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), TRON (TRX), Dai, BitTorrent [OLD] (BTTOLD), Nano (XNO), USDC, Binance USD (BUSD), Filecoin (FIL), The Graph (GRT), Loopring (LRC), Decentraland (MANA), Maker (MKR), Waves (WAVES), Compound (COMP), Crypto.com Coin (CRO), Axie Infinity (AXS), and The Sandbox (SAND).



<h2>#2: Enter the sell/receive amount and review payment details</h2>



Enter the amount to sell or the amount to receive in respective cryptocurrencies. It does not matter which one you enter first – the exchange rate will be calculated and presented to you in the “Order Details” section either way. You will also notice that the exchange rate is locked for one minute.



Order details will also include the service fee, which is 1% of the total amount deducted from the sent amount.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/G-srQ4fnQIaMOTNwIkYhc_x1jqMasKWZUy1bA0wqDCNEnvmsbJSv9wQv00WqwWVCfjlJKtq0aL2u-XBQ-B-zdlidrYWK4ZpGzbGRlJwPVUotwRRHJr3c9YLhKFTGowMEFzHNpgmHZ_eWmow31A" alt="payment details"/></figure>



When done, click “Continue”.



<h2>#3: Make a payment from your wallet</h2>



After clicking the “Continue” button, an invoice will appear. That’s when you need to make a payment. Scan the QR code or copy and paste the receiving address to your wallet, then send the exact amount shown on the invoice.&nbsp;



After the invoice is generated, the exchange rate will remain locked for another 20 minutes. Note that if your payment does not clear in 20 minutes, the exchange rate will be recalculated.



The invoice will detect the incoming payment automatically, and the automated message will let you know that the payment has been received. Your balance will appear in the “Balances->Accounts” menu section.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/4gsKK9S8EcyPecmMu-U-76CeYT5moLGzeVci210TNrirhPSqI8CQGEVBnKma4mfAG9P9ZI9yMDxfCOUVctrCU4WwkNJtpFNwxR2ABv7KiqYw7IHW-fuz7nL_kDXvK3qlbpJAdbT5TKz0VoAE0Q" alt="coingate invoice"/></figure></div>



To avoid any potential issues, it is recommended that you make a payment from a wallet rather than an exchange.&nbsp;



There are two reasons for it. First, payments made from an exchange account could arrive later, which would result in a different exchange rate. Second, exchanges might charge a withdrawal fee from the amount sent, which would mean that the payment would not be paid in full.



<h2>#4: Add a payout address</h2>



If this is your first time using the service, you’ll need to add a payout setting for the cryptocurrency you’ll receive after the swap is done.&nbsp;



In this example, you’d need to attach a bitcoin address to your CoinGate payout settings. You only need to do it once, and you’ll be able to use it later again.



Go to the “Account Settings->Payout Settings” menu section, click “Create a new payout setting” and select “Bitcoin” (or, in your case, a particular cryptocurrency you’re swapping for).



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/HnjNEdG5yV6TNH7qMtvthauH0mpOiuIx6Sq0VEJNhhxs5xJQGR3DHFjGBmf9pGTqomT17eQ9MCs-7ukpJBas5RJgIyHWfeb6rX0g6I2SB_QxWBuRhlf4wTUS4-vJcnJ9l2u6qwHvfK791J2gLA" alt="payout crypto address"/></figure>



Then, fill in the information required to set up a payout setting: select currency network, add title, wallet address, and 2FA code (two-factor authentication).&nbsp;



When done, click the “Save payout setting” button. You will get a confirmation email in your inbox. Please confirm the payout setting for it to activate.



<h2>#4: Withdraw the funds</h2>



The funds will appear in your CoinGate balance when the payment is confirmed. To withdraw, go to the “Balances->Accounts” menu section on your dashboard and click the “Withdraw” button.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/3UvN7-7gVOYah_Dvg8644E6xrkEVSPx10i_DI_HHvpG8LDkhO6v6yKJO_IW5TJ_wzP0xc58FSDWuDzJsgOGdjk7--1MxcRyiHZnGXwErE7so3BOfjPW1vaRbqff96DNnrI5VdGUA9ngR9et1Dw" alt="fund withdrawal"/></figure>



The funds will be transferred to your wallet that you indicated in the payout settings.
