CryptoWoo review: a crypto payment plugin for WooCommerce

cryptowoo.com

CryptoWoo is a WooCommerce plugin that lets shoppers pay in crypto and sends each payment straight to the merchant’s wallet, with no middleman. The core is free, the useful add-ons are paid, and the publisher is a Norwegian company.

Our verdict on CryptoWoo

CryptoWoo suits an adult site already built on WordPress and WooCommerce that wants to take crypto with no processor account and no separate payment server. Buyers stay on the store, and no data goes to a third party.

The HD Wallet Add-on, close to essential, costs at least €119. Vendor support covers the plugin only.

What CryptoWoo costs

The core plugin is free, and no fee is taken on payments. Add-ons run from €19.99 for Dash or Vertcoin to €119 for the HD Wallet Add-on on one site. Every licence includes one year of updates and support. The publisher also sells installation for €120, a new coin for €2,499 and a new ERC-20 token for €499.

How CryptoWoo works

CryptoWoo plugs into WooCommerce and takes bitcoin, bitcoin cash, litecoin and dogecoin to a list of addresses supplied by the merchant. Buyers pay without leaving the store, with no redirect or iframe, and their data stays on the site. No full node is needed: the plugin queries a blockchain data provider of your choice. A payment can be accepted at zero confirmations, under a per-coin cap.

HD wallet support

The HD add-on derives a fresh address for each order from the wallet’s extended public key, without ever touching the private key. It works with Electrum, Trezor, Ledger and Mycelium, and handles multisig with up to five cosigners. Licences cover 1, 3 or 25 sites.

Coins on CryptoWoo

Ether and ERC-20 tokens such as USDT and USDC come with an add-on from €89. Monero and Solana cost €29.99 each. Prices show in almost every WooCommerce currency, with rates from around fifteen sources to choose from.

Buying an add-on

The terms limit the offer to companies, traders, freelancers and public bodies, excluding consumers. A freelance webmaster can therefore buy. Add-ons are not refunded, unless one fails to install within 14 days despite the provided requirements checker, or keeps failing at basic functions.

Plugin upkeep and support

CryptoWoo is at version 1.6.14 on WordPress.org, with 400+ active installations. Support runs through a ticket system and does not cover WordPress, WooCommerce or themes. CryptoWoo AS is based in Vinterbro, Norway.

CryptoWoo vs BTCPay Server and Bitcart

BTCPay Server also plugs into WooCommerce for free, but needs its own server or a host. Bitcart is free and open source, with paid plugins. CryptoWoo skips the server, at the price of its add-ons.
