Setting up BitPay in PremiumPress

Activate the free plugin, then open your theme’s payment settings and add your BitPay credentials:

• API token — BitPay dashboard → My Account → API Tokens. Create a token with the “Merchant” facade and no client authentication (POS-style).

Prices are set in your store currency and converted to crypto at checkout. One-time payments only — no subscriptions. The plugin requires PremiumPress 12.
