bitpay only accepts bitcoin and i don't think they plan on doing it for any other altcoins. it is a good service to use.
for altcoins you need to run their client yourself, generate new addresses for each user and ask for payment, and in short it will take up a lot of resources. so only do it if your site is big enough.

also i have 1 more idea which i don't know how you should do it but it is worth mentioning:
use ShapeShift!
they have an API and you may be able to implement it in your website. you set an amount in USD, convert it to BTC and use ShapeShift to accept an altcoin and they convert it to BTC (or anything else you want) and give it to you.

I have a bussiness where i offer Clothes here in my country for Bitcoins, but most people dont pay with btc because they dont know what it is... I use Bitpay for that, but they charge me high fees for that.
I could say that 1 of 50 sells are payed in bitcoin. It is a nice idea, but people still prefer to pay with credit/debit card

I haven't used it as a merchant but I am very impressed with the Bitpay's service as a customer. They have various features for the merchants but I am sceptical about their acceptance of alt-coins. You can create custom automatic invoices which make easier for the customer to understand and pay the amount in Bitcoins. However, as I said I haven't used it as a merchant, I don't have any idea about their pricing model.
