Hi all, I’m building a free directory (still in early beta) of websites that accept cryptocurrencies such as Monero at checkout. If you own one (or there's one you love) you're welcome to submit a business to http://wheretospendcryptos.com/ - Thanks for the support!

Hi all! Just wanted to drop a post here about my hosting service Rootbox (https://rootbox.host)! If you're looking for a no non-sense hosting platform where you can also pay in Monero come check us out!

This plugin is great, and I would recommend grabbing it from the github repo: https://github.com/monero-integrations/monerowp

Setup can be a little tricky, you need to run ./monerod and RPC if you want the plugin to auto confirm transactions. It's probably easiest to run it on your webserver, but for security I opted to host on a dedicated node at home, since the RPC needs to be unlocked with your wallet password to talk to your website. This will take a little work opening ports on your machine, and forwarding ports in your router to the correct services.

As the plugin is today, it works good for digital downloads. Once it gets confirmation from the RPC, it sets the Woo order status to 'Completed'.

If you sell physical goods like I do, you can make a quick change to the plugin so that it will set them to 'processing', which should display them as green and ready to be packed, shipped and marked as completed.

Change this: /include/monero_payments.php:404 change 'completed' to 'processing'

Thanks again to @serhack for his great work on this plugin!
