First, head over to Blockonomics. Sign up with your email address and create a password, or for an easier option, sign up using your Google account. Once you’re in the Blockonomics dashboard, navigate to the wallet tab.

Click on the option to add a wallet. For this tutorial, we'll be using the Electrum wallet. After adding the wallet information, click on "Create Wallet," and you’re all set!

Linking Your Wallet

Next, return to the Blockonomics dashboard and click on 'Payment Method' under the links section. Toggle the button on for available wallets and select your destination wallet. Your wallet is now linked!

Adding Products

Now, let’s add a product. Click on the 'Products' tab and then click 'Add a Product.' For instance, let’s add a solid black t-shirt. Set the price at $2.99. Next, set up a confirmation email that your customers will receive after payment.

We will then customize the customer fields that will be displayed on the payment page. Click on 'Save Changes' and you’ve just set up a product. Open the product you created and click on 'Generate URL.' Copy that URL.

Integrating with Your Ghost Site

Head over to your Ghost site. Click the plus button and choose the product you want to add. Add the product image, title, and description. Once that’s done, click on the holder.

Testing the Payment Process

Now, let’s add the required information in the checkout process and click the "Pay with Bitcoin" button. The payment page will display the Bitcoin address and the amount to be sent.

Now, let’s head back to the Blockonomics dashboard. On the left side, find 'Log or Test Bench' under 'Store.'Select 'Blockonomics Button,' paste the Bitcoin address and the amount you saw on the payment page, and ensure you mark the payment status as confirmed. Hit 'Send Test Payment.' That’s executed successfully!
