Be careful using BIPS. They are currently holding several hundred dollars worth of bitcoin of mine. I had an order come in, it has been status 'Green indicates complete payment with Instant Payment Notification sent.' for 3 hours now and BIPS has yet to redirect the coin to the wallet I entered and set 100% to move to.

I have had orders go through them in the past and had the coins in a wallet of my control in less than an hour every time, now they appear to be keeping my bitcoin from a rather large order... they have not replied to my ticket at all.

Edit: update, they paid me several hours after this post, they were doing some work (upgrades) to their system and had manually stopped payments while doing it.

Can you processing recurring donations (subscriptions) where the donors do not have a Walletbit account by sending out periodic email invoices?

This will be possible when we launch our BIPS subscription button during the next week. You can create invoices right now using our REST API but the subscription button will be better suited to your needs.

Any ETA on when we'll be seeing this feature?

Send Bitcoin is a bookmarklet and now also add-ons for both Firefox and Chrome: a little app that runs in your browser and allows you to send bitcoins.

With these add-ons, you can access your BIPS Send Bitcoin tool on any site. It will handle Bitcoin URI protocol and open Send Bitcoin when clicking on any link which uses the Bitcoin URI protocol.

How to send bitcoin

The BIPS 'Send Bitcoin' button is the primary tool for sending Bitcoin from your BIPS wallet. It enables in browser QR code scanning via the 'Send Bitcoin' button.

   Add the 'Send Bitcoin' link to your favorites toolbar or install our add-on for Firefox and Chrome. This will give you access to your Send Bitcoin command on any website accepting bitcoins.
   Visit a website that accepts BTC as a payment.
   Select the 'Send Bitcoin' link from your toolbar.
   BIPS 'Send Bitcoin' interface should automatically pick up the receiving address and amount to send.
   Click 'Send' to send your payment.

BIPS charges a 2.5% fee on the consumer side. I was told this in person; it caught me by surprise too, as I had thought their whole 0% deal was some kind of loss leader.

Clarification: the mis-charges were an error. BIPS charges a 0% fee for BTC-to-BTC transfer, and charges 2.5% if you convert the bitcoins to fiat through their service in the form of its below-market exchange rate. Optionally, merchants can check a checkbox (visible only when you have a verified bank account) to take on the fee themselves, in which case they can sell at full price.

yeah, I just did a small test tx after opening an account there and the balance was less than the amount of btc I sent them...something weird is up, either its bugged or they are lying about their 0 fees

if you look at the HTML report of your tx, you will see a column saying 'fee' on receiving tx, that appears to be the amount you are short when they are added up.

Its a shame too cuz I really liked their mobile / POS checkout design.

[edit] This post now contains my whole experience with bips so far.

Im a merchant using bips and their payment module for my web shop. After using their payment module for a while I started wondering why the incoming amounts and my account balance did not add up to exactly the same amount. My initial ticket took quite long to get a response so I did the usual and made the matter public. Something I do not regret btw.

The following is my conclution:
For a merchant who that wishes to keep the incoming funds in bitcoin using bips's payment module is free. The setup to achieve this is: behind the merchant link (in your account) uncheck tick box "customer pays conversion" and set "when sales are made keep x% of bitcoin in my account to the obvious 100%.
Bips will charge you the network fees on outgoing bitcoin transactions on your account. They are not visible in the "ledger" when you log in, but rather behind the importable versions.

It's clear BIPS's customer service could of have been swifter and documentation more clear. But I have to conclude they are not in any way stealing from me as I initially feared. I will continue using them and would recomend their service to others too.

TLDR; Op was concerned BIPS was stealing from him, this is not the case.

I added support today to keep track of your BIPS wallet balances (BTC and USD) to CryptFolio.

Thanks for adding GetBalance API support! It was a bit awkward to use because the API documentation wasn't very clear, but here's some sample PHP code for actually using a GetBalance API key: http://code.google.com/p/openclerk/source/browse/trunk/jobs/bips.php
