An easy shopping cart interface allowing a site to easily accept Bitcoins as payment.
The service was launched on June 28, 2011[1], and closed for new signups on June 2, 2012[2].
How It Works
- A customer clicks a 'Buy with BTC' button / link.
- BitWillet provides a unique Bitcoin address.
- Once payment to that address is confirmed, BitWillet POSTs the purchase information to a specified URL.
- The URL can redirect the customer to the digital goods, record purchase information, etc.
Integration Details
Client-Side
- The BitWillet JavaScript is loaded by adding
<script src="http://www.bitwillet.com/plugin/bitwillet.js" type="text/javascript"></script>. - A button or link which initiates the BitWillet offer is added:
<a onClick="bitwillet( 'OFFER_ID' );" href="#">
Purchase "OFFER_TITLE" with Bitcoins!
</a>
<noscript> Please enable Javascript to access "OFFER_TITLE". </noscript>
Seller-Side
- A URL handler is created which will accept BitWillet's purchase confirmation POST.
