This is a Wordpress Bitcoin Payment module for Wordpress WooCommerce from LITEPAY.ch.

== Description ==

This is a Wordpress payment module for Wordpress WooCommerce based on [Litepay.ch Merchant API](https://litepay.ch/api_merchant_doc), which allows your shop to accept Bitcoin and Litecoin payments in minutes.

The plugin works with a username named *VendorID* & a password, named *Secret Key*. You can register for a free *VendorID* & *Secret Key* on the [merchant platform](https://litepay.ch/merchant/).

**All coins are redirected to an address you provide on the platform and are not kept online longer than it takes to get one network confirmation (~20 minutes). This way risk of stealing coins is greatly minimized. It's highly recommended to use an offline wallet.**

Key features:
* no identifying information about transactions is saved
* low fees, only 0.5% percent from the paid amount
* customers can pay with Bitcoin and Litecoin

== Installation ==

1. Upload plugin directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress

3. Use the WooCommerce->Settings->Payments to configure & activate the plugin

== Activation ==

1. In order for the plugin to work, you will need to register for a *VendorID* & *Secret ID* on the [merchant platform](https://litepay.ch/merchant/) (it only takes a minute).

2. Once you have received the *VendorID* & *Secret Key*, navigate to WooCommerce->Settings->Payments, click manage and paste the *VendorID* & *Secret Key* there.

At this point everything should be in working condition.

**Try and make a test order to make sure it works as it should.**


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How does the plugin works? =
  Quite easy, once a order has been created and the user proceeded to checkout, plugin will redirect to Litepay merchant payment page, where the buyer will be directed to pay the invoice. If the invoice has been paid, buyer will be redirected back to the website where the order was placed, displaying order details. If the invoice is not paid, it will remain in limbo (30 days) until it's paid. 

= The plugin does not work =
  Make sure the correct Wordpress/PHP version is installed and *VendorID* & *Secret Key* are correctly saved in the settings page.
