Hello, All!

Is it possible to accepting bitcoin payments on site without bitpay?

Yes.

When your customer is ready to pay, you should:
  • Generate a bitcoin address.
  • Store the private key securely
  • Provide the bitcoin address to your customer
  • Tell your customer how much bitcoins you want them to send you
  • Watch for the transaction to be sent with the correct amount of bitcoins to the correct address
  • Determine if the transaction is likely to confirm (or wait for it to confirm)
  • Provide your product or service to the customer
Yes, providing a bitcoin address is really the only way you can get people to send bitcoins without a payment support such as bitpay.
