Digital currencies such as Bitcoin are getting more attention from regular folks these days. Some merchants have started accepting payments in Bitcoin. Learning how to send and receive Bitcoins is not that difficult but you want to do your homework to make sure you don’t make disastrous mistakes.
We have already covered how you can accept Bitcoin payments on your e-commerce site. Those of you who accept donations on your site may want to keep Bitcoin in mind. There are many ways to add “Donate Bitcoin” buttons to your site. Here are 3 simple ways to do it:
Bitpay Donate Button: this button allows you to accept Bitcoin donations on your website. It supports Click-to-Pay URI, Scan-to-Pay QR code, and Copy/paste payment methods.
