==================

Bitmerchant — A free, self-hostable Bitcoin payment processor.

Bitmerchant is a full Bitcoinj-based merchant-services platform. It lets you accept bitcoin payments or donations on your own website, without having to go through an intermediary service like coinbase or bitpay; the purchases or donations go directly into a wallet that you control, running on your server.

For more information, head over to http://tchoulihan.github.io/bitmerchant/

Features include

• A fully-functioning bitcoin wallet, in a slick bootstrap-based web GUI.
• A well-documented API.
• A slick payment-button generator that can create orders using your own native currency.
• Refund orders at the click of a button.
• Uses the BIP70 Payment protocol to ensure correct payment amounts, and refund addresses.
• Implement your own SSL certs.

Installation

To install Bitmerchant, make sure you have both java 8, and maven installed. Then run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/tchoulihan/bitmerchant
cd bitmerchant
mvn install

To run Bitmerchant

java -jar target/bitmerchant.jar [parameters]

or better, use the run script, which also creates a log.out:

./run.sh [parameters]

parameters:
	-testnet  : run on the bitcoin testnet3
	-deleteDB : delete the local database before starting
	-loglevel [INFO,WARN, etc] : Sets the log level

If accessing from another machine, vnc to the machine, or use a vpn service, and access either http://localhost:4567/ , or https://localhost:4567/ once you've enabled ssl.
