PrestaShop CoinGate Module is Officially Live

Europe’s leading e-commerce platform PrestaShop releases the official CoinGate module version V 1.5.1 developed by PrestaShop Partners. 

The recently released module, which is compatible with PrestaShop V1.6.0.4 – V1.7.8.7, adds a new payment method to the online store’s checkout page so that customers can make payments using Bitcoin (+ Lightning⚡) and other cryptocurrencies.  

Price your merchandise in any national currency–the CoinGate module sources real-time exchange rates automatically and accurately reflects them during a customer’s payment cycle. 

Users of this module also have access to orders’ data tracking, a refund system, invoice customization options, permission-based account management, API access, and custom payouts.

The module also can exchange all received cryptocurrencies for something else during the payment process. Take recurring payouts in BTC, originally received coins, or a single fiat currency, such as EUR, USD and GBP, directly into a bank account. 

This way, businesses protect themselves from price volatility risks and enjoy fixed value payouts no matter how volatile cryptocurrency markets are, but the choice is always yours.

If all that sounds nice, our crypto payment gateway might be the right solution for you. 

Simple to use and painless to set up, the CoinGate module for PrestaShop is free to download for all PrestaShop users.

For PrestaShop users from other countries that do not get free access to this module, the same one can be freely downloaded from our GitHub repository and installed manually. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide for setting up the PrestaShop module from GitHub.
