BTCPayments allows users to fund their wallets directly with Bitcoin. Below is a step-by-step explanation of how to use the plugin, including how to test using Testnet.
In your plugin parameters, you’ll find the following options:
siteWallet = <your mainnet Bitcoin address>
siteWalletTest = <your testnet Bitcoin address>
BTCMarketPlaceKey = <unique gateway key – do not change>
useTestNet = 0 or 1 (0 = mainnet, 1 = testnet)- Set
useTestNet = 1to test payments without using real Bitcoin. - When you’re ready for real payments, set
useTestNet = 0.
To test the payment process:
- Set
useTestNet = 1in the plugin parameters. - Use a Bitcoin Testnet-compatible wallet (e.g., any wallet that supports Bitcoin Testnet addresses).
- You will need Testnet coins to simulate the payment.
These coins are free and can be obtained from online faucets.🔍 Search online for “Bitcoin Testnet faucet” to find a site that distributes testnet BTC.
⚠️ Testnet coins have no real-world value and are only used for development and testing purposes.
-
Go to your AVideo account and click "Add Funds".
-
Choose the USD amount you want to add (e.g.,
$5.00). -
Click the Bitcoin button.
-
You’ll be redirected to the payment interface:
- Click "Make a New Payment".
- A QR code and BTC address will appear.
- Open your Bitcoin wallet (Testnet or Mainnet depending on setup).
- Scan the QR code or copy the BTC address shown.
- Send the exact BTC amount displayed.
💡 The plugin automatically converts from USD (or your local currency) to BTC at the current market rate. You do not need to calculate BTC manually.
Once confirmed on the blockchain:
- The payment will appear as "Paid".
- Funds are credited to the user's AVideo wallet.
All payments are forwarded to the wallet addresses you configure in the plugin:
-
siteWalletwhen using mainnet (real Bitcoin). -
siteWalletTestwhen using testnet (for testing only).
💰 This is how your platform earns money:
When a user completes a BTC payment, the amount is sent directly to your wallet address (siteWallet).
This ensures full control and ownership of the funds, allowing you to monetize your AVideo platform without intermediaries.
However, the final amount you receive in your siteWallet will have fees automatically deducted, including:
- A fixed gateway fee (
$0.50per transaction). - A service fee (0.5% of the transaction amount).
- The standard Bitcoin mining fee (network fee).
📉 These deductions are processed before the funds reach your wallet.
After payment, users can:
- See all transactions in the BTC Invoices table.
- Click “View Receipt” to verify details.
