BitWillet

An easy shopping cart interface allowing a site to easily accept Bitcoins as payment.

The service was launched on June 28, 2011, and closed for new signups on June 2, 2012.

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.
