@kolloh, Thanks for sharing the Electrum script. It's difficult to implement for me. I don't have server with root access atm. Even if I had, I wouldn't do it myself. But I liked it, it's nice to see there is a solution. I wish it was easier. Perhaps debian developers can add bitcoin processor so I could setup easily with sudo apt-get install bitcoin-processor Smiley

I'd recommend that you check out Bitpay as I have seen a lot of businesses using this service to accept payments.

Alternatively, you could look into setting up Electrum to accept payments. Their merchant documentation is available at http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/merchant.html but it would likely be a more involved process than using something like BitPay.

Hello,

How can I get a buy now button to add my site? Currently it has Paypal checkout system installed. I want to remove Paypal completely from my websites.
There is yet to appear easy to use bitcoin payment solution for every person that would want it.
I hope it will appear soon Smiley

better if you link another trusted site instead of make people buy from your site

It seems like I have to learn more about the bitcoin world before actually using it. It's really complicated to learn.
Thank you for replies. I visited coinpayments but I didn't understand how it works. Also I don't want to give ID for a piece of html code while I don't know if it will work. I didn't understand how much fee they will ask for.

Developing is not an option for me. I can copy+paste codes to my site. I thought there was a some javascript or html code somewhere like Paypal buttons. I didn't think about security during the payment process. There are tons of things to learn..

After reading for hours I learned that the easiest and most secure method to receive payment is to email bitcoin address and bitcoin amount. Showing bitcoin address publicly is not recommended for privacy and security. Also you can't display a price in bitcoin as bitcoin value is constantly changing.

Bitcoin is still better than Paypal. It's just not easy accept bitcoin at small websites. Bitcoin could grow much faster if some developers make this easy and share the codes publicly for free as open source.

It depends on your website system as to the best solution. CoinPayments is the easiest solution otherwise you will need to implement API using blockchain.info or other service.

there are some sites avalible you can easily find them at google even coinbase offers buttons like thouse but my personal opinion is try to make your own button by using some html and css or why don't just use a image as button this way you can learn some photoshop skills too

Give coinpayments.net a shot. They support multiple payment options.

You could develop a solution yourself by using addresses from your wallet. But it's something really hard to do by yourself, especially if you want it to be secure.
You could start by looking into BitPay or similar services, I think that's what you are looking for.
