There is BIPS for what you need, most likely free of charge, for what you need it for.

Thanks, I'm looking into it now.  The .PDF documentation really helps with what I'm trying to do  Smiley

Out of curiosity - Why "anything but Bitpay?"

Few reasons, It doesn't seem like the best fit for my website.

My sites currency is in Bitcoin only.

The charges..

0.99% - includes guaranteed exchange rate...  

I don't want any exchange rate as I'm not dealing in fiat.  It has 30 different currencies.  My whole purpose is to shy away from monopoly money and accept the bit.  Bitpay does an excellent job of syncing to multiple currencies but I would prefer a service that deals in btc only (or close to).

Coinbase charges? 0%...

Lastly I don't like using their website.  I prefer Coinbase's simplicity of Transaction, send money <--> request money page as soon as you log in.  Bitpay's interface needs a rethink where the elements should be.  The icons are greyed out, too detailed and not even aligned properly.  I know that may seem nitpicky but its important to me.   Maybe I was being a bit anal with that one.  Bitpay seems like a good service, but its not suited to my needs.

Hey everyone,

I am currently working on a website and I need a merchant gateway plugin as well as some extras, which is why I offer 1 BTC.

Reply if interested.  Its in PHP and uses WordPress.

The extra features I require are features such as confirmation progress and data to store to my db.

Leave a message if interested.  I can send the docs to a tutorial of writing the base, its the payment processing part (i.e the main bit!) I need setting up.  I also need to have 100% ownership of the code.  

Please only reply if you are confident and have experience.  I say coinbase, but would consider other methods if they are better.  Anything except Bitpay.  My site is in Bitcoin only.

Cheers!   Smiley
