CryptoWoo Flipstarter #2 - A seamless non-custodial and self-hosted payment gateway for WooCommerce

Our previous Flipstarter was funded in less than 10 hours. We delivered all the goals, as well as released a new website design and other improvements. The project has received so much positive feedback from the community, and the statistics on wordpress.org show good growth. Previous funders were also positive towards us posting our second Flipstarter.

CryptoWoo enables WooCommerce users to easily accept Bitcoin Cash payments directly to their own wallet without middleman fees, iframes/redirections, wallet usage limits, or product restrictions. The cryptocurrency goes directly from the customer to the wallet and the payment processing runs on the merchant's own server. This makes CryptoWoo uncensorable, non-custodial, and decentralized, while still being simple to use.

The goals of this Flipstarter:

  • For more choice and fallback when an API fails, add additional block explorer APIs blockchair.com, blockchain.info, haskoin.com, bitcore.io, and explorer.bitcoinverde.org. Additionally, support for latest version of the BitPay Insight API will be added, and any other instance of the Haskoin API or Bitcoin Verde API via custom URL.
  • Add BCH double-spend proofs for even safer zeroconf.
  • Add additional exchange rates API for more choice and fallback when one API fails. The APIs coinflex.com, blockchain.com, kraken.com, and gemini.com will be added.
  • Show CashAddr addresses for merchants in wp-admin by default with the possibility to see legacy addresses instead, when verifying HD wallet and displaying addresses in order details. This will avoid confusion by merchants who sometimes have to contact support for help, and it will improve onboarding.
  • Add an underpayment display in the checkout immediately when an underpayment is detected, instructing the customer to send the remainder. This will reduce support tickets to the merchants from their customers.
  • Create a simple setup wizard when activating the WordPress plugin to enable an easier setup for newer merchants to get started. We've found the huge number of configurable options to be quite daunting for users both new and experienced so we believe this is crucial in making the plugin accessible for all users. During this wizard, we will highlight Bitcoin Cash in the setup wizard as a recommended cryptocurrency for users along with wallets like wallet.bitcoin.com and coinomi.com. During this setup wizard, we will only show basic configuration options to keep it simple.
