I've already finished with the Steem blockchain transaction transfer confirmation so it is almost complete for testing. :)

Introduction

Hello guys! I'm a new adopter of Steem and I've just joined a couple of days. I know that there was one before but it was discontinued unfortunately. I decided to create a WooCommerce plugin that accepts Steem as one of the payment method.

Overview

I've been busy recently the past few days as I'm currently developing a payment method for WooCommerce that will accept Steem as payment for both Steem (STEEM) and Steem Dollar (SBD) currencies.

Progress

I'm still currently deciding on what available API to check against the "Transaction (Transfer)". I've also checked SteemSQL http://www.steemsql.com/ and its definitely impressive as I can just do a single statement query for a single transaction transfer with the given payee and memo details.

SELECT * FROM txTransfers WHERE "to" = '{STEEM_PAYEE}' AND "memo" = '{STEEM_MEMO}';

Unfortunately, it needs to have a Microsoft SQL server and I don't think its available for all WooCommerce shop owner's server.

One possible solution I have is to make an API wrapper with my own server and utilize SteemSQL so I can just call it. :)

Note

You will NOT require any Steem keys for this plugin to work. You just have to provide your Steem username and you're good to go.

Testing

Once I will have a stable version of the plugin, I will release a public repository on Github and update this post. I would like also to ask the community to help out test the plugin for bugs before publicly releasing this to the WordPress Plugin Repository. I would really appreciate the help. (With or without technical skills you can help out test the plugin)

Payment Method Settings

You have the ability to choose what currencies to accept such as STEEM and/or SBD.

Stay Tune!

I will keep you guys posted with my progress and the link for the GitHub public repository.

License

I will release the plugin as GNU General Public License version 2 as compatible with WordPress license and FREE to use by anyone who has a WooCommerce shop. ;)

Thanks
