Create, set up and administer BTCPay Store<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]In this article, we explain how you can create, set up and administer a BTCPay Store on a BTCPay server.<\/p>\n

In the first step, we explain what a BTCPay Store is.<\/p>\n

You then create an account on a BTCPay server to be able to create a BTCPay Store.<\/p>\n

We explain which settings and configurations you can make in the BTCPay Store and what significance it has for the acceptance of Bitcoin and Lightning payments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]For the instructions, we will set up a BTCPay Store on the BTCPay Server from Coincharge.<\/p>\n

The procedure is identical to creating a BTCPay Store on your own BTCPay Server.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]

YouTube Video: BTCPay Store – How to create your own BTCPay Store on a BTCPay Server<\/h2>\n

Coincharge has an explanatory video about the article “BTCPay Store – How to create your own BTCPay Store on a BTCPay server” on the Coincharge YouTube channel in German.[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/1JTYEep_XWw” title=”BTCPay Store – How to create your own BTCPay Store on a BTCPay Server”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1653054149583{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” section_id=”what”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

What is a BTCPay Store?<\/h2>\n

A BTCPay Store is a standalone account on a BTCPay server. An unlimited number of these accounts can be set up on a BTCPay server.<\/p>\n

Each BTCPay store can stand for its own application, service or website.<\/p>\n

Also, the term store or store in connection with the BTCPay server must be explained at this point.<\/p>\n

The name store and store can be somewhat misleading. This is not about an online store or store software. It is about payment processing for Bitcoin payments, which is integrated into a store (e.g. WooCommerce, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop ) or into a project.<\/p>\n

If you run several websites, it is recommended that you create a separate BTCPay store for each of them.<\/p>\n

But you can also make a separation by services or applications. You can use a BTCPay Store for your online store, a separate BTCPay Store for receiving donations, and again a BTCPay Store for your retail store or for each individual store.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row section_id=”create”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

Create account on BTCPay server<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\n

Create BTCPay Account<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3476″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3474″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]To create a BTCPay Store, you need an account on the BTCPay server.<\/p>\n

For example, if you go to https:\/\/btcpay.coincharge.io or the homepage of your BTCPay server, the login area will look like the picture on the right.<\/p>\n

If you already have an account, you can now log in with your login details.<\/p>\n

If you do not yet have an account, you must first register.<\/p>\n

To create a new account, click on the “Create your account” link at the bottom.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Now set your email address and password.<\/p>\n

The password must have a minimum length of six characters.<\/p>\n

If you are registering on your own BTCPay server for the first time, this account automatically has admin rights.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12106″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row section_id=”btcpaystore”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

Create a BTCPay Store<\/h2>\n

After you have logged in with your account on the BTCPay server, you have the possibility to create and set up a BTCPay store via a kind of BTCPay store generator.<\/p>\n

All required options are called up step by step.<\/p>\n

All these individual steps and setting options can be called up again later and adjusted.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]After you have created an account on the BTCPay server, log in.
\nThe Create a Store<\/strong> call appears.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12108″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12110″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]We use BTCPayWall for the store name in our example.<\/p>\n

The default currency is USD. We can simply override this setting and use, for example, EUR or any other currency.<\/p>\n

We use Euro as standard currency.<\/p>\n

We use the data from CoinGecko to calculate the Bitcoin exchange rate.
\nThen we click on Create.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]Note<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

When creating the BTCPay Store, only the required basic data is requested via this BTCPay Store Generator.<\/p>\n

If you want to make detailed settings later, you can make these options under Settings => Store Settings.<\/p>\n

We will go into the detailed setting options in more detail in this article.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1653054201808{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” section_id=”wallet”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

Create a wallet<\/h2>\n

The creation of the wallet is about where to credit the incoming bitcoin. Bitcoin payments are credited to the Wallet and Lightning payments are credited to the Lightning Node.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]After we have created a BTCPay Store, we need to create a new Bitcoin wallet or deposit an existing Bitcoin wallet.<\/p>\n

Continue with Set up a wallet<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12112″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]There are a variety of different ways to use a Bitcoin wallet. You can use a Bitcoin wallet created by the BTCPay server, you can use an external Bitcoin wallet or you can deposit the xPub key from a hardware wallet.<\/p>\n

All the ways to use a Bitcoin wallet at a BTCPay store we have presented in detail in a separate post: BTCPay Bitcoin Wallet<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12116″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]If we already have a hardware wallet, we can store the xPub key via the existing wallet.<\/p>\n

How to store an xPub key from an existing Bitcoin wallet is described in How to find your xPub key<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s assume that you do not yet have a Bitcoin wallet and continue with the creation of a new wallet.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]We select the Hot Wallet function.<\/p>\n

This means that the credits in Bitcoin are credited directly to the internal BTCPay wallet.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12120″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12122″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text el_id=”onleines”]If it is not our own BTCPay server and therefore not an administrator, the warning message appears that there is a risk to the credit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]You receive your own seed (recovery phrase) with the BTCPay wallet.<\/p>\n

This gives you security for your Bitcoin balance.<\/p>\n

With this seed, you have access to your Bitcoin balance at all times.<\/p>\n

Make a note of these 12 words and store them in a safe place.<\/p>\n

You can store these 12 words in any other Bitcoin wallet and thus regain access to your Bitcoin balance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12126″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]We have now created a BTCPay store including our own Bitcoin wallet.<\/p>\n

All the necessary settings have been made. Now we can continue with the fine adjustments, if desired.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row section_id=”settings”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\n
