How to Accept Bitcoin on Your Research Compound Store
The Problem with Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the most widely held and recognized cryptocurrency, but many research compound operators don't accept it because setting up native BTC checkout requires wallet management, address rotation, and manual reconciliation.
The PeptiCommerce Solution
NOWPayments (integrated into PeptiCommerce) handles Bitcoin checkout automatically: generates unique addresses per order, monitors the blockchain for confirmation, and triggers WooCommerce fulfillment automatically upon sufficient confirmations.
How to Set It Up
-
1
Connect a BTC settlement wallet
In NOWPayments, enter your Bitcoin settlement wallet address. This is where received BTC will be forwarded after confirmation.
-
2
Enable Bitcoin in PeptiCommerce
Once your NOWPayments API key is in PeptiCommerce, BTC appears as a payment option at checkout automatically.
-
3
Set confirmation threshold
NOWPayments default is 1 confirmation (~10 minutes). You can increase this for larger orders.
-
4
Monitor from dashboard
All Bitcoin orders appear in your PeptiCommerce order dashboard with payment status updated in real time.
