What WooCommerce customers can pay with
Each method BitPay supports appears in your WooCommerce checkout. Enabling one is a PaymentHood dashboard setting — nothing changes on the WordPress side.
Cryptocurrency
A wide range of coins and tokens accepted at checkout
Stablecoins
USDC, USDT, DAI, GUSD and other dollar-pegged tokens
Connect BitPay to WooCommerce
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the WooCommerce installation guide.
Open a BitPay account
Register with BitPay and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from BitPay to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your BitPay credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.
Install the plugin
Download the WooCommerce plugin and install it from Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in your WordPress admin.
Enable and test
Paste your PaymentHood API key into the plugin settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.
Rather than a direct BitPay plugin
A single-provider plugin works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.
- Webhook security
- Signed IPN callback, validated before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side invoice status re-check against the BitPay API before fulfilment
- Credentials
- API token bound to a merchant identity, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your WooCommerce checkout
- Automatic failover when BitPay is unreachable, instead of a failed order
- Idempotent charge creation, so a double-submitted order is not a double charge
- One reconciliation view across every provider you run
- Free and open source — read the plugin on GitHub (opens in new tab)
