Wordpress Shopping Cart with Payment via Bitcoin?

I'm looking for recommendations for Wordpress plugins that allow payments for products using Bitcoin. Ideally the product will be priced in AUD or USD, and it will calculate the current exchange rate and convert it to Bitcoin. Different payment wallets per product would also be a good feature.

Any suggestions?

    Hi squadron,

    Bitcoin was invented for eCommerce so there are many options for accepting Bitcoin payments in your shopping cart script.

    Bitpay.com is the most popular Bitcoin payment processor and they have plugins for WP e-Commerce as well as WooCommerce which are 2 of the most popular shopping cart plugins for Wordpress.

    MtGox.com, the oldest and most popular Bitcoin exchange, offers a solution for Wordpress users in the form a of a Pay Now Button generator that generates the code for you to paste directly into a Wordpress page. Transactions are completely free.

    Coinbase.com has plugins for popular carts, including Wordpress scripts. Transactions are free for Bitcoin payments and currently the first $1,000,000 in payments are free to convert to your local currency.

    Bitmerch.com also has a WordPress E-Commerce Plugin. BitMerch is free, the only fees you pay are the Bitcoin protocol fees.

    BTCMerch.com has plugins for both the WP e-Commerce and the WooCommerce carts. No monthly fees. Transaction fee is as low as 0.5%. No sign up for buyers. They pay without creating accounts.

    BIPS.me offers plugins for WP e-Commerce and WooCommerce scripts. 0% transaction fees for domestic payments.

    OKPAY.com combines various payment options (wire transfers, e-currencies, money transfer systems, phone payment services) into one platform featuring unified financial service for merchants to accept and process payment. OKPAY offers plugins for eCommerce Templates, WooCommerce, and WP eStore carts for Wordpress.

        I've spoke personally with the CEO of coinbase.com and can say that he's probably going to be the leader in this race. Best user experience by far. And I started with others before them.

          You're definitely on the right track. Overstock.com just became the first major American retailer to accept bitcoin.

          They did about $130,000 in BC transactions on the first day.
