Hi there,
I found this site while researching bitcoin and am currently in the process of building a web store that accepts BTC.
I mainly came to this website to comment about the functionality of the MtGox payment module for Prestashop, hoping that it is possible (like the Magento plugin) to add a feature where BTC can be displayed along side the current currency (GBP) in the front end.
I have quite a lot of website/PHP/sales experience and hope to meet some like minded people here
Regards,
BiTCoinRC

I've implemented BitPay's API before, but I'm very interesting in creating a custom solution for accepting Bitcoins directly (and not immediately converting them to fiat).
I also wrote a Bitcoin helper class in PHP. It can be used to quickly convert a Fiat amount into BTC and show it on a webpage.
Thanks for the welcome everybody
I have just been looking at the bitcoin helper class, this could come in very handy thanks. Ideally though I would like to fetch the data from Mt Gox as they will be processing payments via the Prestashop module. I'm also quite interested in a solution that doesn't involve a third party but I'm still very new to bitcoins and need to do a bit more research.
