Bitcoin. For Magento.

This is a Bitcoin payment module for Magento.

I wrote this module to help promote Bitcoin and to enable vendors to trade goods for bitcoin. While I believe this module is the most fully featured Magento Bitcoin module available at the moment, please consider this an alpha release.

I'm looking forward to feedback from vendors who are accepting Bitcoin.

Installation

I plan to add better documentation to the Wiki. Please be sure to backup files and data before modifying your Magento instance.

  • Copy the files from this project into your Magento root.
  • Enable BTC currency for your store.
  • Go to Manage Currencies and import exchange rates.
  • Start Bitcoind.
  • Watch the hash money roll in.

Notes:

  • Magento doesn't provide a good way to override locales, so the core Zend locale files are overwritten.
  • You must use the EN locale. Call me a lazy American bastard if you'd like. As of now, only the EN locale is modified. I'm happy to pull new locales.
  • The module customizes the order confirmation page. You may need to integrate the changes if you've already customized that page.

Feedback & Contributing

All feedback is welcome. I'm especially looking forward to feedback from Magento store owners. If you have a feature you'd like to see implemented please let me know.

Developers, please feel free to comment and contribute. I'll gladly pull reasonable changes and you will be credited.
