For me crypto currency was always a mystery, but also very interesting. I recently opened my store and wanted to add something new, so I found this plugin. The set up is very easy and straightforward.

Awesome plugin if you are looking for crypto payment gateway for your woocommerce shop. Took 5 minutes to set it up and customer support was very helpful in answering all of my questions 🙂

Not good compared to bitpay plugin. 1. The orders are stuck in «on hold» status. They don’t send confirmation for sure. It is broken. 2. Spectrocoin gateway page does not allow to copy paste bitcoin address and value for people who want to pay from their wallet application on a website or software.

Features Needed ———————————– 1) No option to show company logo on the payment page. 2) Real name in your account is shown on payment page even if you are a business. 3) Default conversion currency is EUR. 4) No option to select the timeout period. It defaults to 24 hours which can lead to inventory being in limbo awaiting payment before it fails. 5) No overpayment or underpayment handling. 6) No ability to hide the language translations, select alternate ones, or choose a default language. Bugs/Issues ———————————– Gateway can take 10 seconds before showing the payment options. Not sure if this is a plugin, or server issue. Probably a server issue.

1.0.0 (07/31/2023)

Added a link to access SpectroCoin plugin settings directly from the plugin page. This enhancement provides users with easier access to the configuration options.

Implemented an «if» statement to handle compatibility with older PHP versions (PHP 8 and below) for the function openssl_free_key($public_key_pem). This change is necessary as PHP 8
deprecates openssl_free_key and now automatically destroys the key instance when it goes out of scope. (Source https//stackoverflow.com/questions/69559775/php-openssl-free-key-deprecated)

Improved the WC_Gateway_Spectrocoin class, made changes to prevent deprecated messages related to the creation of dynamic properties. The properties (merchant_id, protected_id, private_key, and order_status) are now explicitly declared as protected, and getter functions are added to ensure better encapsulation. This update is particularly important for PHP version 8.2 and above.

Added a dependency on the WooCommerce plugin for the SpectroCoin plugin. The SpectroCoin plugin now requires WooCommerce to be installed and active on the site. If the user deletes or deactivates WooCommerce, a notice will be displayed, and the SpectroCoin plugin will be deactivated automatically.

Enhanced the style of the admin’s payment settings window to match the design of SpectroCoin.com, providing a more cohesive user experience.

Added an informative message on the admin page, guiding users on how to obtain the mandatory credentials required for using the SpectroCoin plugin effectively. This addition helps users easily find the necessary information for setup and configuration.
