    1) How many coins does your plugin accept now?
    2) is it required to have a payment gateway service/merchant account from a provider for accepting cryptocurrencies? or as it is on blockchain network using our wallet address is enough?
    3) what is difference beween using a plugin like yours and websites who provide crypto paymnet gateways?

    Hello,

    1) I cannot give you an exact number, since the plugin does not accept a specific set of currencies, but can be used with a certain number of classes of currencies:

    You can use any coin that is supported by CoinPayments, using the CoinPayments adapter extension: https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/coinpayments-adapter-extension/ The updated list of coins is here: https://www.coinpayments.net/supported-coins

    You can use the plugin with a Bitcoin wallet or with any wallets that share the same RPC API. This currently includes thousands of currencies. Use the Full Node Multi-Coin adapter to connect to Litecoin wallets, Dogecoin, etc: https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/full-node-multi-coin-adapter-extension/

    You can connect to Monero wallets and/or any wallets that are a Monero fork, with the Monero Coin Adapter extension: https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/monero-coin-adapter-extension/

    As you can understand the number of actual coins in these classes changes all the time.

    2) With this plugin, you need to use coin adapters to connect to one or more wallets. Whether you use a third party wallet, or you set it up yourself on a server is up to you, and both approaches have their pros and cons. A connection to a wallet is always needed, in order to generate deposit addresses, even if you do not want to allow withdrawals (for example, you can keep the wallet locked).

    3) If all you are interested in is a payment gateway, then this plugin may not be for you. With this plugin, users can pay with balances that they already have deposited on your site. So it’s a two-step process. First a user deposits an amount, then they can use (part of) that amount to pay for a cart checkout. The advantage of this family of plugins is that the user can do a number of things, including use the Exchange extension. Please see the FAQ section for the WooCommerce Cryptocurrency payment gateway, under the heading “why not use another bitcoin payment gateway for WooCommerce?”.

    Hope this helps

    with regards
