Copy the files from upload
to your OpenCart installation directory.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of BitPay's OpenCart plugin, you'll need to remove the bitpay
folder from your OpenCart installation directory, then proceed with the installation instructions above.
- Create an API key at bitpay.com under the "My Account" section.
- In the opencart administration under Extensions->Payments, click the "Install" link on the Bitpay row.
- Also under Extensions->Payments, click the "Edit" link on the Bitpay row.
- Set the API key to the key you created in step 1.
- Select a transaction speed. The high speed will send a confirmation as soon as a transaction is received in the bitcoin network (usually a few seconds). A medium speed setting will typically take 10 minutes. The low speed setting usually takes around 1 hour. See the bitpay.com merchant documentation for a full description of the transaction speed settings.
- Set the status to enabled (this activates the bitpay payment extension and enabled shoppers to select the bitcoin payment method).
- Select a sort order. The sort order determines the ordering of payment options presented to the shopper.
