There are plenty of payment processors out there. Which one to choose depend completely on your needs. You want to accept bitcoin only? You want the convert automatically to fiat, or keep holding in bitcoin or whatever crypto you accepted the oayment in? Do you have good coding knowledge? You willing to pay a fee for each transaction? etc 

So, I even considered accepting some stablecoin or something like that, but at first it would only be Bitcoin, or maybe even using the Lightning Network. The interesting part would be offering the option to pay with Bitcoin to anyone who's a crypto enthusiast, but for sure the main payments will be made through regular credit cards. I mainly just want to show some support for the use of Bitcoin, and from what I can tell, in the line of business I'm going to run on my website, there's no one else around here accepting Bitcoin. So that would be a unique selling point. Now regarding the fees, I have no problem at all paying the small fees as long as Bitcoin is accepted, it's all good.

i helped setup wordpress with woocommerce for a friend of mine, there were tons of ready made plugins that allowed you to accept crypto. Some used a free payment gateway, some a paying gateway and others were completely non-custodial (there were some where you had to give a list of addresses that could be funded, others allowed you to import your master public key, and they derived addresses when needed).
In the end, we used btcpay untill i deinstalled my dedicated server and i no longer ran it, so i helped my friend switch to MyCryptoCheckout which was pretty easy to plug in to wordpress - woocommerce and allowed the use of a master private key.

This being said, she (my friend) received a couple of payments whilst we were still using my btcpay server, but i don't think she received any more crypto payments since switching to MyCryptoCheckout.

I was thinking about hosting my website on Shopify. I don't know if you're familiar with it or if people use it where you live, but I think the layouts there look really nice. I'm not familiar with WordPress. I remember it from way back when people used to make blogs with it, many years ago. I'll do some research on what you mentioned. Thanks!

There is a [List] Bitcoin Payment processors and I think you can find some possible payment processors for your online store.

I can not help you technically on how to implement it with code but firstly you must pick one that is good, then you can learn technical things for deployment or hire someone to do it for your business.

thanks
