The PayButton team has continued to work through the first few months of 2021 to deliver on some key features promised in the FlipStarter we ran in October.
For those who are not familiar with PayButton, our goal with this project is to make it as easy as possible for people to accept Bitcoin Cash on their website or web app. You can see some demos and learn more about it on our website.
Below is a summary of what has been accomplished so far as well as what is currently planned:
Dev Progress (v1.0.0 -> v1.1.0):
Created new website with proper documentation & examples in both English and Chinese.
Added option to set a goal/target (useful for fundraising), denominated in either BCH or fiat.
Added option to visibly disable the button / widget.
Added improved input handling (eg. allowing "50" where a number is expected).
Added visible error for missing or invalid BCH addresses.
Added option to hide toasts on payment detection.
Better support for filling the button with more text (longer strings).
Improved website dark mode.
Improved compatibility with web UI frameworks (eg. Boostrap-Material, Material-UI).
Misc other minor UI/UX improvements.
Existing Plans for 2021/2022:
Switch to an (optionally) self-hosted, open source payment detection server/API for improved reliability and capability for mission-critical applications.
Create 'Pay' page where websites can simply use a simple hyperlink to bring people to a full-page payment screen.
Add support for locking web content behind a paywall.
Support for displaying units in 'bits'.
Set up testing framework for long term development.
Ensure success toast matches the chosen button/widget theme.
Add option to open payment dialog without actually needing a button.
New Plans for 2021/2022:
Create new user-focused website where people can login to view/manage their PayButton income.
Add support for domain-based usernames & IDs to pay to as an alternative to simple addresses.
Add 'dev' mode that points to the BCH Testnet.
Allow passing arbitrary data through to server upon payment.
Introduce new "portrait" dialog layout for mobile devices.
Add option to allow live editing of the payment amount.
Allow goal amount to be based on either the total sent to the address or its current balance.
Other Items on Our Radar:
Support for BCH stable coins / post office protocol.
Support for BIP70.
Support for stealth addresses.
Support for CashAccounts.
Support for SLP tokens.
Create WooCommerce plugin.
Create WordPress plugin.
Option to send arbitrary BCH tokens upon payment.
Streamlined payments with support for in-browser non-custodial wallets.
