Bitcoin Gateway for WooCommerce
Bitcoin payments that land in your own wallet.
Paste your wallet’s master public key and you’re done setting up. Each order gets a fresh address derived on your own server. The customer scans a QR code, the plugin watches the blockchain, and WooCommerce marks the order paid. There’s no payment processor, no account to open, and no cut of each sale.

What your customer sees
Three screens, and nothing new to learn.
Bitcoin is one more option in the checkout they already know. After ordering they get everything they need to pay: on the page, in their email, and under My Account.
What you see as shop manager
Every address, amount and transaction, in plain WordPress screens.
One field to set up
Paste the xpub, ypub or zpub from Electrum, Sparrow or your hardware wallet’s app. Addresses are generated locally, and no private key ever touches the server.
- Live exchange rate and a link to scheduled checks at the top
- “Visit checkout” opens a real test checkout in one click
- Adjustable logging with a built-in log viewer
Payment details on the order
The Bitcoin panel on each order shows the BTC total, the rate used, the payment address with its derivation path, what has been received, and when the blockchain was last checked.
- Order notes record every new transaction
- Addresses link to a block explorer
- Orders stay on hold until the payment confirms
An address book you can audit
Wallets and addresses are standard WordPress list tables. Filter by unused, assigned or used, and see each address’s order, transaction count and derivation path.
- Addresses are generated in the background, ahead of checkout
- WP-CLI:

Everything in the box
Built the way WordPress plugins should be.
Self-custody
Customers pay straight into your wallet. The plugin only ever holds your public key.
No sign-up, no fee
There’s no processor account, API key or KYC. Your only cost is the network fee the customer pays.
Private by design
No customer or product data leaves your site. The only outside calls are address lookups to Blockstream.info and a price from Bitfinex.
Never reuses an address
One address per order keeps payments easy to match and easier on your privacy.
Checkout blocks
Supports the Checkout block, the classic shortcode, HPOS, and six order-confirmation blocks for block themes.
Handles partial payments
Paired with Woo Cancel Abandoned Order, partly paid orders are never cancelled automatically.
Your templates
The classic thank-you page, emails, My Account and admin views can be overridden with standard WooCommerce template files.
WP-CLI commands
Generate addresses, check transactions, and list gateways and orders from the terminal.
Developer hooks
bh_wp_bitcoin_gateway_payment_received lets any other checkout reuse the address and payment engine.
How it compares
Other Bitcoin plugins make you pick between custody, fees and running a server.

Questions
FAQ
Where do I find my master public key?
In Electrum, open Wallet › Information. Sparrow and most hardware-wallet apps show it in the account or wallet settings. It starts with xpub, ypub or zpub. Use a wallet you keep only for the shop.
A payment shows in WooCommerce but not in my wallet. Why?
Wallets only scan a limited number of unused addresses (the gap limit). A busy shop can go past it. In Electrum’s console, run wallet.change_gap_limit(200) and then wallet.synchronize().
What if the customer underpays?
Anything received is recorded on the order, and a partly paid order stays on hold so you can follow up with the customer. A setting to accept small shortfalls from price moves is on the way.
How do refunds work?
Send the refund from your own wallet, then record it on the WooCommerce order. The plugin never has spending access, so it can’t refund for you.
What data leaves my site?
Only the payment address, sent to Blockstream.info to look up transactions, and a price request to Bitfinex. Customer names, emails and products stay on your server.
What hosting does it need?
WordPress 6.9 or newer, WooCommerce, and PHP 8.4 with the GMP extension. Action Scheduler, which ships with WooCommerce, runs the background checks.
