The first CryptoWoo Flipstarter campaign was fully funded in less than 10 hours on September 18, 2021, at 10:40 PM UTC. There is no more license key requirement and the plugin is listed in the WordPress Plugin Directory available to be easily found and installed by more than 455 million websites (estimate as of 2021). All of the goals for the campaign have now been completed. Thank you for the support from the BCH community and everyone who donated to make this happen.

All the goals for this Flipstarter have been completed

These were the goals of the Flipstarter and all of them are now completed.

• Add Bitcoin Cash into the main plugin instead of keeping it as a separate add-on for even faster and seamless integration of BCH.

• The base price for BCH-merchants will be made free. I intend to initially accelerate work with Flipstarter. The focus is to not force merchants to pay to get started accepting BCH but instead have income sources that grow with the scale of the merchants such as convenient features and conversion of currencies.

• Get listed in the WordPress Plugin Directory for better exposure, ease of upgrade, clear statistics and reviews, and improved credibility.

• The CryptoWoo license requirement for updates will be removed in favor of the plugin updates provided through WordPress Plugin Directory for faster and easier setup.

Improvements done to accomplish the Flipstarter goals

A lot of code improvements have been done as was required to accomplish the Flipstarter goals, including those mentioned in this list.

• The security of the plugin has been improved further.

• A lot of code was refactored to WordPress coding guidelines.

• Updated redux framework and qrcode libraries.

• WordPress.org plugin version compatibility with CryptoWoo Add-ons.

• Removed/changed pieces of code that could cause issues in some sites.

• Updated email-header and email-footer templates.

• Removed unnecessary code to make the plugin more lightweight.

• The plugin release version is now open source in WordPress.org subversion.

Additional improvements and features completed

This list highlights some of the big improvements and features that were developed in the past months but needed some polishing, further testing, and bug fixing. It made sense to complete and release these before the WordPress.org plugin directory listing.

• Improved block explorer API processing.

• Improved order processing.

• Improved database handling.

• Added coin icon options.

• Fixed some bugs.

CryptoWoo is customizable to your liking with plenty of options. I recommend enabling the acceptance of 0-confirmation payments.
