Cryptowoo is the best, most well supported plugin for woo as of today. The dev is talented and the plugin is very mature, mhighly recommendenif u want middlemanless gatewat plugin that works off mpk
also remember that merchants may be doing different things..your plugin may work for downloadable items but not for subscriptions..
You didn't mention this before. Obviously I can't test every possible combination of WooCommerce plugins and settings. Which plugin are you using to sell the subscriptions and what issues are you experiencing?
The plugin does work. There are 8 other merchants where it works fine, 4 of them are using it on their live website for more than 9 months already. The initial configuration can be a bit cumbersome if you aren't comfortable setting up cronjobs and editing the wp-config.php, but it will definitely work if everything is set up correctly.
I am happy to help you setting it up and sent you some instructions on how to create debug info and logfiles so we can find the issue.

also it's not just about setting up cronjobs and editing the wp-config.php...the conversion rates also do not update so when a user goes to the checkout the final amount that he has to pay it's messed up
Well, the exchange rate update also needs cron to work
I'm really sorry that you are getting frustrated trying to get it working. Maybe you should ask a developer to help you set it up. As I see it, you are having technical difficulties that aren't related to the plugin. Be aware that you are processing payments _yourself_ and there is no way you'll find something that "just works" without either having an idea what you're doing or using a middle-man that does. Of course, such a middle-man will then also charge you a fee and be able to shut you down and keep your money.As jonny508 said, the plugin still has some kinks, but it is working fine when set up correctly. A couple days ago we released a new version of the main plugin which uses a lot less API calls and let's you process up to 100 concurrent orders. Also, you can now use Shapeshift to accept any altcoin they're supporting and get paid out in either BTC, LTC, or DOGE.
In addition to the improvements in the main plugin, we released the first public version of the HD Wallet Addon. Let me know if you want to give it another go - I'll be happy to help!
edit: they're
crypto woo let me beta test his plugin and i must say that he's tackled most of the roadblocks seen in the older "middleman-less" plugins.
I am very excited to see the HD wallet / electrum MPK component at which point I think it will be the best available option for those not looking to go thru middlemen.
obviously, if crypto woo nails it, i really hope every user who uses this at a storefront thinks about how much savings they see from fees, etc. and help keep crypto woos project alive and funded so its kept up to date.
but it really looks good. of course theres kinks, its a beta but works better than most plugins u find in the woo plugin repository.

sorry but your plugin doesn't work
thanks!!
Hey there,
sure, since the current plugin I am using is not working I would be happy to test yours out

Cool! I sent an email to the address in your profile.
I am working on one. It's still in beta but it's being successfully used in production by a couple merchants for more than 9 months already. The main plugin uses Block.io to handle address creation and payment processing, but I am also working on an addon to support hierarchical deterministic payment address creation via xpub/Ltub/Dgub keys.
Let me know if you want to give it a try!

We're nearing the end of the beta for the main plugin and will most probably have the HD wallet addon ready shortly after. The main plugin uses the Block.io multisignature API to generate the payment addresses, which already requires less trust in a third party than the other WooCommerce-ready solutions you mentioned. I think it will take a couple weeks before we release the addon for HD wallets but the main plugin is used in production by several merchants already.
If you want to try it out let me know your email address and I'll send you the main plugin to use right away and the HD addon for testing in a couple days.

Anybody using anything functional like this with latest woocommerce version?
1. Bitcoinway plugin was my favorite but it slowly stopped working and will not function at all nowadays.
2. Coinsimple worked on older woo releases but as of latest version, it gives a JSON parse error at checkout. Anybody have a workaround for this?
3. Faircoin - has anybody checked this out yet? Im slightly confused as to what fair coin is but I understand it to basically allow use of any alt coins. And the plugins Ive seen appear to upgrade plugin #1 which I liked. But I can't quite get it to work.
4. Cryptowoo - is there still an active plugin available from u guys? I believe ur saying its also a middleman-less plugin that allows MPK use? If so, id love to try it out. Can u post a link to it if publicly available?
5. GoURL.io - this doesn't use MPK but its the most functional/free/private plugin I could find nowadays. I wish it used an MPK for generation of addresses though.
6. Coinkite - im very surprised they don't have a published plugin for woocommerce. Anybody know a way to get this API to function with woocommerce?

The TOS you noted applies to website use, not the plugin.
So the customers are not redirected to coinsimple's website to make a payment? It may be true, I didn't try it out, but their documentation on github suggests that.

Since Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce stopped working it is also the only direct to wallet bitcoin payment plugin available. Don't like it? Don't use it or go with BitPay et al which cost more, have onerous KYC requirements to register and are very invasive of your privacy.
That's why I pointed out that he could try my plugin which is (when used in connection with the HD wallet addon) a better alternative to Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce than using a payment processor. So if he wants to support the development of an alternative that does not limit what you can use it for and does not collect sensible data about you and your customers he should consider trying it out.
edit: even if you don't use it with the HD wallet addon, the customer data will not be shared with third parties and the processing happens in the store.
