Getting Started with Blockonomics

To begin, head over to the Blockonomics website and sign up for an account. The process is simple. You can either create an account using your email and a password or sign up using your Google account. Once you've signed up, you’re ready to add your wallet.

Setting Up Your Wallet

After creating your account, the next step is to set up your wallet. Navigate to your Blockonomics dashboard, click on 'Wallet', and then select 'Add a Wallet' and proceed to fill out the required information. Here's a video hat will help you find your Xpub.

Downloading and Installing the WHMCS Integration

Next, we need to integrate Blockonomics with WHMCS. Head to the Blockonomics resources menu and select 'E-commerce Integration'. Scroll down until you find the WHMCS integration and click the download button. This will redirect you to the Blockonomics page on the WHMCS marketplace where you can click 'Get it Now' to download the zip file.

Uploading the Plugin to Your WHMCS Directory

Once you’ve downloaded the zip file, unzip it. Open your FTP client, such as FileZilla, and connect to your WHMCS directory by entering your host, username, password, and port. In your downloads, locate the Blockonomics plugin folder, open it, and find the 'modules' folder. Copy the 'modules' folder to your root WHMCS directory. Once the files are transferred, you're all set!

Activating the Blockonomics Plugin

Now that the plugin is uploaded, log into your WHMCS account. Click on the menu and navigate to 'Add-ons', then select 'Apps and Integrations'. Click 'Browse' under payments and search for Blockonomics. Once you find it, click on Blockonomics and hit 'Activate'. This will take you to the Blockonomics configuration page.

Configuring Your Blockonomics Settings

On the configuration page, you need to grab your API key. Head back to your Blockonomics dashboard, click on 'Stores', and copy the API key. Paste it into the configuration page in WHMCS. Next, create a store and name it. Copy the Callback URL from the WHMCS page you were on and paste it into the store settings on Blockonomics.

Once you’ve done that, toggle the button under 'Payment Method' and choose your destination wallet. Hit 'Add Store'. If you want to set advanced settings like wait time, adding margin, or allowing underpayments, you can do that here. You can even choose to accept Bitcoin Cash (BCH) if needed. For now, I’ll save the changes without any advanced settings.

Activating NordVPN in WHMCS

With everything configured, let’s activate NordVPN in WHMCS. Go to the menu, click on 'Configuration', then select 'System Settings'. Scroll down and click on 'Market Connect'. Here, you’ll see NordVPN; click on 'Start Selling' and then hit 'Activate'. You should see a success message confirming that it’s all set.

Testing Your Setup

Now that NordVPN is activated, let’s check how it looks on your site and perform a test payment. Navigate to your site and under 'Store', you should see the VPN option. Log in as a customer and add NordVPN to your cart. Once it’s added, proceed to checkout. You should see the Bitcoin address, the amount, and a handy QR code for payment.

Performing Test Payment Verification

To ensure everything works, let’s perform a test payment. Head back to your Blockonomics dashboard, click on 'Log or Test Bench', choose the store, paste the BTC address and the amount, set the payment status to confirmed, and hit 'Send Test Payment'. Voila! The payment should go through successfully, and you’ll find this detail in your WHMCS orders.
