Topic: I need to create an Bitcoin online shop (Read 1466 times)

With the coinpayment service you can use forms to accept crypto payments or redirect them to a pos system. Guess the most basic approach.

A normal single page website could be designed by the way you are saying but it really is much difficult to develop a online store with lot features using any such site. A professional developer is going to be needed in making such professional store and also the expenses for developing such store can be high. It is not that easy as it sounds but needs a lot of efforts before it could be made into action.

A full team of back-end and front-end developers will make your work easier but will cost your pretty high. Also considering the demand for bitcoin store online, we can see a lot of peoples who would willingly buy from your store if you have the right product and affordable price.

What I can read from you is that you might have an intention to scam peoples by starting such site and accepting payments directly into your bitcoin wallet rather than using any of the payment gateways. Such transactions could be unsecured and if you want to have a lot of audience go through your store than you need to add more features like escrow for the funds until the commodity is delivered, a good payment gateway like coinspayment, etc and a strong team behind it who can handle mutiple orders simultaneously. Try finding some developers from freelancing sites and they would help you create the store you desire.

Interesting forum, this thread is just like my first post, not one responder bothered to read my post or reply appropriately and all I got were clueless romantics pretending to understand something.

Your solution is simple and doesn't require any BTC coding. Create a bunch of keys and addresses on your PC, keep the keys offline and even the addresses are not seen until someone uses them. On the final submit form, randomly choose one of the deposit addresses to present to buyer.. You don't even need a complicated shopping cart since this isn't VISA and you don't have accounts or cookies to deal with, you're only presenting a graphic or btc address which pose no risk to either buyer or seller.  All the final submit has to do is save  Name/Address/ SKU/qty and the BTC address so you can find it later to see if its been paid, you can save that to a text file on the server or send it through sendmail or both.   If your prices are BTC, you don't need to do anything, if they're in dollars just make a conversion on the final page using whatever you choose as the price source  $123.99 / $8975 = 0.013815042 BTC

When buying through a web page, the user isn't looking for anything complicated.. They will want the amount and the address or graphic to send to. They will then either log in to their account or wallet depending on how they store their BTC or whip out the phone and scan the graphic.

That's how I would do it. If I found the business to be a success then I would look at more automated ways to create the address or perhaps encrypt the final order text but why bother since your montly maintenace to create your owns keys would be very little and it sounds like people are only submitting publicly avilable information like name and address. If you are not concerned with people knowing how much you're worth then you don't even need that and can use one address for your entire business.

What skills do you have to achieve whatever is needed ? You know what you need,now you just need to install a daemon and start coding! If you can't code,you need to hire someone who can do it for you.May I ask why exactly you need it to be developed in PHP ? Wordpress is an alternative if you can watch and learn things from YouTube/Udemy.

I think if you really want to start from scratch then you might considering another approach to search on Google like "How can I create or design my own online shopping site?"
Since you have to create your own features, own payment process, own style of marketing and free style site design based on what you need.

how about a Wordpress platform?

Just get paid in USD or your local currency. When you get payments then buy BTC at low price and enjoy more profits. :-)

Well, can you please explain your concern regarding use of bitpay or any service like that. I mean they have made it so swift to use and you can do the add ons on the go. I'm still wondering after so many suggestion you still have not picked up any one.

Gourl is really best option you have got. They have amazing codes and you can implement everything in just one click. You don't really have to worry about the chargebacks as they don't have any. Moreover there is also option of choosing currency itself. You can literally choose whether get paid in the form of bitcoin or even other altcoins listed on their website. Good option to choose from.

Hi OP if you do not want using wordpress , woocommerce and bitpay. It will take time for a developer to create a new one from the scratch. It will take also a lot of money from the hours rendered by the developer.
Bitpay is secure, decentralized and proven, why risk your site for a fraction of Bitpay's commission fee in replacement of customized payment gateway which might be possible to be hacked?

Your idea is good.you can make first a blog site and review on it.use bitpay it is good or you can go for blockchain.info or bitfreak.info as your wish. Thank you

Yeah payment is required for the third party sites because you needed that in order to run your web link, and it's easy to use for the future bitcoin online shop. I hope that this idea will be applicable soon in my country and running a business is not that easy because you may encounter bugs and downtime of the site as it may be affected with the online traffic. So before implementing this in the future, it should be having secured web security with the strongest support to prevent ddos attacks.

Going by your description and your unwillingness to use Content Management System like WordPress, I would suggest you create the site using HTML & CSS and then integrate the GoUrl payment box in it.

It is pretty simple, you only have to copy and paste the GoUrl code in your HTML page. Here is the link to the GoUrl site: https://gourl.io/

He already mentioned about that he do not want to use the third party site like these you mentioned. I hope he can add the jquery in checkout page of his online store for bitcoin option like we see in bitrefill or Purse.io site.
If he uses third party site then he has to pay for them also certain amount.

Wow that's new for me. Could you please tell me if you have used the initially mentioned plugin ? How the payment processor works exactly. Is transaction directly get credited into the bitcoin address or does it get stored on faucet or something like that? My questions might be dumb but I need details as I'm planning to implement one.

Do share your experience with me. I would be grateful. Me too don't want bitpay as they have tedious process for implementing which I don't like even to try out.

use bitpay

I think bitpay is the best service , all service if payment use bitcoin use bitpay service, netteler and many broker forex is same use bitpay
you only integrate bitpay in youre online shop, you can free script e-comerse or paid service

WordPress + WooCommerce + GoURL Bitcoin / Altcoin Payment Gateway plugin

Hey man does your shop has a free shipping world wide or is it only avaible in a specific country?

Also i think wordpress is a pretty good option if your hosting it in the world wide web you can add and remove products pretty easily just after installing a few plugins.
But if you are hosting it in tor you could buy a cheap domain hosting plan there or you could host your own through vps its up to you after that for the front end of your site bootstrap is good for a responsve content and for the back end you need to build php/sql to handle payments and user info

May I know is your shop available now?

Use Bitfreak's Bitshop:

http://bitfreak.info/bitshop/

It's PHP, easily customizable and uses it's own gateway so you don't need third parties.
I'm pretty sure it works through Tor as well (though I have not tried this myself).

Since you're gonna use TOR avoid WordPress or other CMS. As far as I can remember there's an open source script I saw in the Hidden Wiki for opening shops in the TOR network. Try to search there, and use the Tor Search engine not google.

been using wordpress years ago with an eshop plugin and i learned that wordpress updates every now and then and if the plugin won't be compatible anymore, it would be a pain in the ass.

try to mix the wordpress + jquery and php (include ajax if you care about your users) .make a cart and then payment processing page use blockchain.info api or bitcoin core  and set it up with your shop  if you want any type of help them you can pm me i will just tell you what should you search on google :p on mostly i will help you with linksand referrences.honestly i dont have any knowledge about wordpress till now but i like it a lot so people will like it too try to use that i know i am not an expert till now

is there any detailed tutorial we can find how to integrate blockchian api and receive payment inside a php code where it has buy now button?

The only way is to have a custom CMS platform build by yourself.
Which would take you a lot of time.

The next thing is to configure the deamon to handle the transactions for you. Either build it from scratch (so you know it is good)
or make re-use some open source plugins.

no one ever created an existing script like this before?
if someone created a simple one, he probably have earned by now as people will probably buy even if it cost just a $100 for such script.

If you really want to make it from scratch .I suggest checking out some API's.Blockchain.info has their own API for sending and receiving bitcoins and so does moneypot.Additionally check out this Gem Api https://gem.co/

If you want, you can use our service: getpay.me

Do you have html/php knowledge? If you want to build your site from scratch, it'll take you quite a bit of time and effort. Unless you already know what you're going to do, then you should hire someone.

I dont want to use NO 3rd Party

and I dont want to use Wordpress or any of that stuff

Im building that site from scratch

The user comes to my site orders their stuff with a few clicks after hes finished a btc address should appear and he sends the money to after receiving the funds he gets a message payment received and i ship out their stuff

it has to be in php because i want to host it on the TOR Network

Hi there,
a simply way would be to use a single public deposit address and php/sql script checking all incoming transactions (im able to write such a script)  but this approach is unusual.
If you want to have a full control you probably have to run a bitcoin nod within your server, otherwise you have to use other party service to generate the btc addy - im not expert in this field, just assuming.

maybe you can try Blockchain Receive Payments API which is quite anonymous, easy to use tool which generates new addy for every customer and resend the amount to your addy.

Well you can use Wordpress and implant this plugin on it I suppose : https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/ or there is this (paid) but never used so I can't tell what's the different between both of them : http://codecanyon.net/item/bitcoin-for-woocommerce/9085826
