gox is better
is gox cheaper than bitpay
hence, why am i going to invest time and money to accept it ? when, if the payment providers simply "bothered", I could copy/paste the bitcoin option and test it..push the options and see... etc.
Take a look at MtGox' "Pay now" button (https://mtgox.com/merchant). Maybe that's the option your looking for?
not all sites use carts, and the costs of integration or creating a whole new backend to manage BTC is costly....
my point being...for the sake of creating slightly more advanced "buy now" buttons, online retailiers would be more likely to "try out" BTC....as, like a paypal button, its 5 mins to program and copy paste the code..
with the real likely hood of customers paying via bit coin....you need a very quick cost effective way to add and test it....we sell for example 1000 units a year, and I KNOW for a fact that the likely hood of any of our 300,000 a year visitor paying via bitcoin will be very very unlikely..hence, why am i going to invest time and money to accept it ? when, if the payment providers simply "bothered", I could copy/paste the bitcoin option and test it..push the options and see... etc.
the other problem, is, for BTC to become mainstream, it needs to be easier to obtain and work with.....we forget, most folks here are technically minded.....
however, 99% of online retails customers are...in a word...dumb....and most sites end up with 1000's if customer support emails over shit as simple as, how do i pay via paypal..
can you imagine these people easiliy understanding...BTC wallets, blockchains, hash etc etc.....nooooooo

Bitpay supports multiple shopping carts. Just use a shopping cart provider which supports your needs.
One thing we need to do is to lobby for more to start offering it. I've tried locally here in Dundee but apparently nobody is terribly interested yet.
Hi,
any advice on bitcoin payment providers, bitpay etc are.....by all accounts very limited especially as regards any kind of buy now button functionality......all I have seen so far offer such limited options and functions that unless you are selling, one product, with one shipping rate, and NO colour, size, options variations etc....all bit payment providers are ...limited...
