SendBSV BSV Payments for WooCommerce

Version: 6.1.1
Status: Production Ready - WordPress.org Compliance Release
Tested up to: WordPress 6.9 / WooCommerce 10.4
Requires: WordPress 5.8+, WooCommerce 6.0+, PHP 7.4+

Accept Bitcoin SV (BSV) payments directly to your wallet. Self-custody, no third-party processor required. Modern, maintained fork with PHP 8+ and WooCommerce HPOS support.

🚀 Features

• Direct Payments: Funds go straight to your ElectrumSV or BIP32-compatible wallet
• Per-Order Addresses: Automatic unique address derivation from Master Public Key (xpub/MPK)
• Real-Time Exchange Rates: CoinGecko + CoinPaprika fallback with configurable markup
• Payment Detection: WhatsOnChain + Bitails API with automatic fallback
• Multi-Format Payment Console: BIP21 payment links plus downloadable BIP270-style invoice payloads with tab switching
• Payment State Machine: Canonical state tracking (waiting, detected, verified, expired, underpaid, overpaid)
• Expiry Enforcement: Automatic payment window enforcement with late payment monitoring
• Local QR Generation: Client-side QR codes (no external services)
• Aggregate Payments: Automatically handles multiple transactions to same address
• Modern Stack: PHP 8.0-8.3, WordPress 6.9, WooCommerce 10.4
• HPOS Compatible: High-Performance Order Storage ready
• Self-Custody Focused: All funds settle directly to wallets you control
• Checkout Options: Works with both WooCommerce Blocks and classic shortcode checkout
• Security Hardened: TLS verification enforced, no unauthenticated triggers, WooCommerce logger integration

🧩 BRC-100 Upgrades in v6.1

• Richer wallet requests: createAction payloads now enumerate satoshis, locking scripts, and contextual metadata so BRC-100 wallets know exactly what to build.
• Instant receipts: Client-side responses can submit txid, raw hex, and optional BEEF blobs which we store on the WooCommerce order for audits and future SPV workflows.
• Immediate state progress: As soon as a BRC-100 wallet hands back a receipt we mark the payment detected, keeping the checkout stepper responsive even before confirmations land.
• Hardened messaging: Updated postMessage handlers validate origin/source and bind to the order nonce to stop spoofed payment events.
• Order binding: Return data is validated against order ID, key, expected sats, and nonce so receipts cannot be replayed across orders.

📦 Installation

Requirements

• WordPress 5.8 or higher
• WooCommerce 6.0 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher (8.x recommended)
• PHP extensions: gmp (preferred) or bcmath

Steps

1. Download or clone this repository
2. Upload to /wp-content/plugins/bitcoin-sv-payments-for-woocommerce/
3. Activate through WordPress admin → Plugins
4. Configure with your ElectrumSV Master Public Key

⚙️ Configuration

Required Settings

1. Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Bitcoin SV
2. Enable the gateway
3. Enter your ElectrumSV/BIP32 Master Public Key (xpub format)
4. Set Number of Confirmations (recommended: 1-6)

Checkout Compatibility

WooCommerce Blocks checkout and the classic [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode are both supported. No special action is required—just add the standard WooCommerce Checkout block/page during onboarding. If you prefer the legacy experience, you can still create a classic checkout page with the shortcode.

Optional Settings

• Gateway Title: Customize payment method name
• Description: Instructions shown to customers
• Checkout Icon: Select from available BSV icons

3. Select "Bitcoin SV Payment"
4. Complete order
5. Verify payment instructions with QR code appear

Full Testing:

1. Test with different product prices
2. Verify exchange rate conversion (if not using BTC as store currency)
3. Send actual BSV payment to generated address
4. Confirm payment detection and order status update
5. Verify order completion email is sent

✅ Highlights from the v6.0 Security Release

🔒 Security & Compliance

• Unauthenticated Triggers Removed: Eliminated legacy hardcron and IPN callback vulnerabilities
• WooCommerce Logger: Integrated with WooCommerce logging system, removed file-based logging

🗺️ Roadmap

v6.2+ (in Planning)

• Admin diagnostics panel UI (provider health monitoring) so merch dashboards surface provider health at a glance
• Automated PHPCS/PHPStan CI gating to keep every commit linted before release
• HandCash-ready BIP270 enhancements (formal QR toggle + richer callbacks)
• Enhanced address pool management (pre-generation + smarter reuse policies)
• Multi-currency support improvements beyond WooCommerce base currency
• Additional performance profiling, caching, and API rate optimizations

🐛 Troubleshooting

Payment Gateway Not Showing

• Ensure your checkout page contains either the WooCommerce Checkout block or the [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode
• Verify Master Public Key is entered correctly
• Check PHP extensions: gmp or bcmath must be enabled
• Review WooCommerce → Status → Logs for errors

Exchange Rate Errors

• Verify server can make outbound HTTPS connections
• Check debug.log for API errors
• Temporarily set store currency to "BTC" to bypass conversion

Address Generation Issues

• Confirm xpub format is correct (111 characters starting with "xpub")
• Verify gmp or bcmath PHP extension is loaded
• Check error logs for math library warnings
