Setting up BitPay

1. 1

   Generate an API key in the BitPay admin:

   • Log in to your BitPay account.

   • Click Payment Tools.

   • Click Legacy API Keys.

   • Click Add New API Key, and a new key will appear.

   • Enter a name for the key so you know where it's being used. We recommend something like "Foxy key for [Your Store Name]".

   • Copy the key you've just created.

   • Click Save Changes.

2. 2

   In the Foxy admin, enable the Let customers pay with BitPay option.

3. 3

Important notes and caveats

Possible action: datafeed handling

A BitPay transaction takes time to be confirmed on the blockchain, so at the time we process the initial transaction we don't know whether it was approved. Transactions are initially marked as pending, and we update them when we get a confirmation from BitPay.

Each time the status changes, a datafeed is sent to your endpoint if configured, with the transaction details and a status node. The status node contains one of three values: pending, approved or rejected. Depending on what your endpoint does, make sure you check for the appropriate status value first.
