NakoPay for WordPress

Accept Bitcoin and other crypto in WordPress with a one-flat-fee, non-custodial checkout. Wallet-to-wallet - NakoPay never holds your funds.

Use this plugin for non-WooCommerce WordPress sites that need pay buttons, donation forms, tip jars, or payment links. If you run a store with cart and checkout flows, install NakoPay for WooCommerce instead.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0+
• PHP 8.0+
• A NakoPay account (free) and at least one API key from https://nakopay.com/dashboard/api-keys

5. Paste the signing secret NakoPay shows back into the plugin's Webhook secret field.
6. Save.

Use

The plugin adds a shortcode you can drop into any post or page:

[nakopay_button amount="10" currency="USD" label="Tip the author"]

Or render a donation form:

[nakopay_donate currency="USD" suggested="5,10,25,50"]

Full shortcode reference: https://nakopay.com/docs/wordpress.

Verify

Add the shortcode to a draft page, preview it, click the button - you should see a QR + address. Pay with sk_test_* keys to confirm webhooks reach your site.
