I tried to set up a store for stickers and stuff like that over the weekend, that could accept Bitcoin. I thought BTCPay Server would be easy, but this was my experience:
1) I’ve heard BTCPay Jungle is easy and good, I go to their website and it is only configured for the site owner and no obvious way to create an account, I guess it shut down?
2) I head to the BTCPayServer docs to find other third party hosts and find this list. I try about five most have the same problem as #1. One does allow me to sign up but won’t let me continue without verifying my email. Unfortunately they never send the email to confirm.
3) I try to set something up in Google Cloud with the docs which links to this Github README which has a broken link to a YouTube video. Also the instructions do not work after trying them as is.
Isn’t this the project sponsored by Square? Am I an idiot that I can’t get this to work or is it just broken? I’m willing to try again and even go so far as to set it up on my own Raspberry Pi but given the investment of money and time and my experience so far I don’t want to do that only to find out it does not work.
TLDR: do you know how anyone has set up a store that accepts crypto and how did they do it? (I prefer to accept Bitcoin)
Thank you community for your memes and help. HODL and all that stuff.
