About Spodccg
From the official readme · v1.3.0Description
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PLUGIN ONLY WORKS WITH THE CLASSIC WOOCOMMERCE CHECKOUT
Spodccg – CryptoCurrency Gateway For Woocommerce enables sellers to accept cryptocurrency as payment for their products on woocommerce stores.
Within the settings you can choose ANY cryptocurrency by using its ticker (symbol) to output the current exchange rate.
It uses real time exchange rates provided by coinmarketcap.com api. Sellers enter in their receiving address and a QR code image (optional) and then it’s up to the buyer to process the transaction using their wallets.
Once they have sent the crypto they enter in a transaction ID (optional) and place the order. They will get sent the processing order email as standard by Woocommerce. The seller will need to then confirm the transaction on their end and complete the order.
Installation
From your WordPress dashboard
- Plugins > Add New

- Activate Spodccg from your Plugins page
- Get your free API key from: https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/signup/
- Go to Woocommerce > Settings > Payments and click on manage next to CryptoCurrency Gateway
- Enable the plugin and add your API key.
- Find the ticker symbol to the cryptocurrency of your choice by going to https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/
It will be in the Symbol column and is usually a 3 to 6 letter representation of the cryptocurrency. - Add your RECEIVING ADDRESS.
- If your wallet provides a QR Code Image, upload this to your WordPress media library and copy paste the URL to it in the field provided.
- Enable the transaction id field if you want the customer to add the txid in. (optional)
- Following on with the transaction id, you should find the relevant blockchain explorer link and add this into the settings aswell. (optional)
- Add in any other details you want for the checkout page.
- Click on ‘Save Changes’ and you’re DONE!
Important: if you are using my other plugin specifically for Cardano (Spoddano), make sure to sign up for a different api key
if possible to avoid reaching your daily limit of api calls.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use any cryptocurrency?
Yes! aslong as the symbol is on coinmarketcap.com the API will find the price quote and output accordingly.
Where do i get the API key from?
coinmarketcap.com offers a free basic API key to call the current exchange rate of the currency used in your store. Get yours here: https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/signup/
Where do i get the ticker symbol from?
Only go to this list to find the symbol and enter it into the field. https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/ It will be in the Symbol column and is usually a 3 to 6 letter representation of the cryptocurrency.
How do I find the blockchain explorer?
You can find this by doing a google search for your chosen crypto and ‘Blockchain Explorer’ eg: “Bitcoin Blockchain explorer”. This is only needed if the Transaction ID field is enabled.

After you get sent the transaction ID you can follow this up on the Blockchain Explorer by clicking on the link provided in the orders dashboard or admin email. If there are multiple transactions for the specified txID, do a search for your address within the list of “To” addresses.

Changelog
1.3.0
- Security: hidden checkout fields (“Total Sent” and rate) are no longer trusted; the values are recalculated server-side from the order total and the cached rate at order save time.
- Compatibility: declare support for WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS); switch all order meta read/write to CRUD ($order->get_meta / update_meta_data).
- Fix: gateway constructor was reading settings (apikey, address, ticker, …) BEFORE init_settings() ran, which could leave properties blank. Order corrected.
- Reliability: gracefully handle CoinMarketCap failures instead of crashing the checkout with a division-by-zero error on PHP 8+.
- Performance: exchange-rate cache key now includes both the ticker and the store currency, so changing either no longer serves stale data; admin save still clears the cache.
- Hardening: escape every dynamic value on the front-end (esc_html / esc_attr / esc_url); admin disclaimer rendered through wp_kses_post.
- Hardening: stop misusing _e() to print HTML blocks with interpolated PHP variables.
- Fix: correctly declare the Text Domain header (was lowercase “text-domain:” and ignored by WordPress); switch text domain to “spod-ccg” to match the plugin slug.
- Refactor: copy buttons are real elements; copy-to-clipboard moved to a real .js file using the modern Clipboard API, enqueued only on checkout / order pages.
- Refactor: drop $GLOBALS state; the gateway instance is fetched per function.
- Refactor: API key field is now a password input.
- Refactor: dead methods removed (is_accessing_settings, get_matching_rates, email_instructions).
- Refactor: brittle in_array() WC check at file load removed; rely on the plugins_loaded callback.
- Improvement: ticker and store currency are snapshotted to order meta at save time, so historical orders render correctly even if the merchant later switches.
- Improvement: number formatting helper replaces the preg_match scientific-notation band-aid; applies everywhere a crypto value is rendered.
- New: uninstall.php removes plugin settings and cached transients when the plugin is deleted.
- Compat: bump Requires PHP to 7.4 and declare Requires Plugins: woocommerce.
