If you’re looking to accept Bitcoin as a method of payment using WooCommerce, look no further.
The popularity of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency has surged in recent years and the rise of blockchain technology is here to stay. Launched in 2009, Bitcoin (BTC) is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation and it was created as a store of value and means to facilitate decentralised transactions.
While many holders of Bitcoin treat the cryptocurrency as an asset similar to that of Gold, others use the value of Bitcoin to purchase goods and services.
With the rise of cryptocurrency, it was only a matter of time before merchants interested in the technology wish to adapt business to accept payments in crypto.
As the leader of popularity in the world of crypto, Bitcoin is fast becoming frequently offered payment method with eCommerce websites. In fact, companies like Microsoft, Overstock, Starbucks, Namecheap and Wholefoods all accept payment in Bitcoin.
As an open source eCommerce platform, WooCommerce is leading the charge for adapting cryptocurrency payment gateways. The flexible eCommerce solution for WordPress offers a range of streamlined and easy to configure extensions to help your business accept Bitcoin online.
