Bitcoin Exchange Rates

[Bit Bayou]

I'm updating Blesta this weekend, and recently installed the Bitpay payment module to start accepting Bitcoin!

 

I have a quick question: does Blesta automatically update the exchange rates like other currencies? BTC isn't quite official [yet] and I'm not sure Google Finance has that data on hand? Is this automated, or do I need to set my prices based on the current rate, and keep manually keep them updated?

I recommend using your native currency, not BTC.. Bitpay will convert it to bitcoin.

That is very helpful! I did not know that!! Thanks!!

 

I'd [once again?] like to recommend a "notes" or "help" section for each module, so maybe such helpful tips would have already been in my face?

I added an info box toward the bottom above the currency listings for Bitpay in the documentation here - http://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Bitpay

Yeah, I was referring to a link in Blesta itself to those specific docs...

 

If you've used DirectAdmin before, the Help link at the top of each page is a link to the Docs for the section you're in...

 

Like if you're creating a new user in DA and click Help, it doesn't just take you to the home page of the help center, it directs you to the New User section of the help center! So there's no searching here or there for this section or that, the link is prominent on every page, and takes you directly to the information you need!
