I saw this topic passing by in history. Maybe nice to discuss that again. To my knowledge there are Open Source codes with which you can set up your own Bitcoin server.
The disadvantage is that you can only accept 1 Altcoin, otherwise it will be heavy loaded.
If you take a payment gateway, you have no control over your own fund, and they can hold on to it if desired.

The OP’s intention is likely simply to draw traffic to the site, which is itself full of links to Amazon, being those links the shortened version used typically in referral programs. I doubt there is any real intent her at all to accept BTC, since it seems pretty inconsistent with what I’ve stated before.

One can even do this on  Blockchain.info if he is a regular user.

OR

You can use any reputed getways from the following.

1. CoinPayments

2. CoinBase

3. CoinGate

4. GoUrl.io

5. SpectroCoin


I wouldn't recommend BitPay, as I recently saw some bad comments about it here.

Agree here, heard also really bad opinions about bitpay recently.
Still much to do in terms of ease of use automatic bitcoin payments.
Bitcoin is internet-based so it should be REALLY EASY to use bitcoin payments on any website with just couple clicks.

I wouldn't suggest Spectrocoin. It's shitty service in general and there is some scam accusations sgainst them.
You can try to look at Coingate or Coinpayments.
There is also open source payment proccessor BTCPayServer.org, it's worth to check.
All of these services are easy to integrate, you just have to install their plugin to your website.

Ok, I see thanks for the advice. I would need to take a look at more info on all of them.

But I would probably prefer going with BLOCKCHAIN.INFO as I often use it and find them trustworthy overall.



@soniaboxer, you have direct amazon links to the products you are just recommending on your website. Amazon doesn't accept Bitcoin's directly until, so I don't think it would be that easy to integrate a BTC payment getway to amazon.

If you are looking for a list of payment gateways I suggest you to check this list below.

- Awesome list of bitcoin payment processors

It includes self-hosted and hosted payment processors but for me self-hosted is the best option since someone already mentions BTCpayserver this is the best option but you can choose the hosted one but some of them will ask for documents and they are easy to set up compared to self-hosted payment processors.

I am not sure whether you are asking on which payment processor to choose or how to add it to your website.
If it is the first then I would suggest BTCPay for the reasons stated by mjglqw.
If you want to know how to add it to your website then I found this guide:

It depends on how serious your business is, but if I'm not mistaken, the easiest way is to put the QR code on the website. The buyer scans it and sends the appropriate amount. Unfortunately, this is not an automatic solution, because each transaction must be confirmed manually by you. However, in my opinion, this is the easiest way for a beginner and certainly the cheapest.

Scrap BitPay. If you actually care for your customers, you wouldn't use BitPay. It's probably the worst option, and this is based on experience as a consumer. Lookup BTCPay[1] instead if you want a win-win situation between you as a business owner and your customers. Zero fees, too.

It is important to know if you want to receive Bitcoin or you want it automatically converted into fiat. For fiat I think that you already got your answers.

For Bitcoin, I'd avoid BitPay. Afaik Bitpay is related to Roger Ver's businesses, asks for KYC and favors his altcoin against Bitcoin.
People lately recommends BTCPay, but I have no experience with it, so you'll need more help/details/input. However, here's a link for you: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51975676

You can use Bitpay for that. That's the easy one I think.
If you don't have any idea about implementing plugins, it's better if you hire someone. A small suggestion, don't accept unconfirmed transaction.
