Litepaid cryptocurrency payment module [SUPPORT]

[paulm]

This is the support thread for the LitePaid payment module for Zen Cart 1.5.x

Payment provider LitePaid allows you to accept Bitcoin, and lots of other digital currencies, as payment. You can choose the currencies you want to accept and whether you want payouts in the accepted digital currencies or in EUR. LitePaid will take care of exchange rates and conversion, and for the shop owner there are no costs other than a small transactions fee.

It's fast and simple.

Litepaid currently targets at the SEPA area (EU + other SEPA countries).

The module will be uploaded later today.

Firstly is it safe to use bitcoins on google and can you exchange bitcoins to normal money ,seems to be conflicting reviews about them....ta

[paulm]

Safe to use bitcoins on google?? I don't understand the question.

And yes, you can exchange bitcoins to "normal money", but if you prefer to receive EUR (in stead of the currency the orders are paid with) there is no need to exchange it yourself, you simply let LitePaid do the conversion for you. It's automatic, and you get the exact EUR amount of the order (minus a small transaction fee), so you don't need to worry about the exchange rates or anything.

Although you can accept all coins (that LitePaid supports) I suggest to limit to coins you feel comfortable with and that fit with your store. Of course bitcoin is the most known coin at the moment, but you can also accept social currencies like Reddcoin and Dogecoin. And for the Dutch I highly recommend Guldencoin.

Depending on what you sell this may very well boost you sales, especially if you promote the fact that you accept these coins on the respective subreddits, forums or whatever media the coin community uses.

lol dunno where google came into it must have been on my brain ..... Meant to say my website .... ..Been reading into it and as with everything else new people are saying it's a dodgy way to use this kind of money and not to trust it,but I am happy to try anything new if it can help with sales,also the reason I asked if you can draw out money is that I have never used bit coins before ,possibly never will but who can tell ( I thought I never would own a mobile phone but now can't do with out it lol )

Hi
I have signed up and then uploaded files to my site ... All files were in correct place ,but when I went to start I could not open lightpaid and to top it off Paypal functions in Payment Modules is now missing ... It still works and files are still in ftp just missing from Payment Modules section in zencart ...
I have removed all litepaid files from my ftp but paypal has still vanished ... Any ideas please .. Also I have replace paypal files from back up but that has not worked either
using 1.5.3

[paulm]

Most likely one or more files are copied to a wrong location anyway, but if you removed all files it really should work again. Usually checking the server error log is a quick way to track such issues.

If you want me to take a look (at no charge) send me a PM.

EDIT: by the way, if modules are "missing" in your admin this usually means php is halted due to some fatal error, and that is why you don't see modules that are to be loaded after.

Probably best to install the Litepaid module again and give it another shot (the problem with the payment modules not showing up appeared to be a fatal error, NOT related to the Litepaid module).

Hi
OK it's going again but getting this error when trying to pay
LitePaid payment error: EUR payment only!
Used the api key under website settings
hopefully it is something simple
