BitMate Author Donations is a WordPress plugin for authors on WordPress powered sites to accept cryptocurrency donations. It can automatically add a cryptocurrency donation box below all posts, or can be manually controlled via the built in shortcode [bitmate-author-donate] and/or widgets for sidebars and visual page builders.

Here are a few of the special features you might not notice at first:

• Can be used in "Maximalist" Bitcoin only mode with classic styles or will adapt to a modern multi-currency display when you add other currencies.
• Sets Bitcoin label & message when using compatible installed wallets.
• Makes use of compatible URI formats where possible, for example BIP 21 for Bitcoin.
• Uses local and self-hosted fonts to avoid calling other servers.
• Works without Javascript enabled - although offers optimisations when it is!
• Makes use of open-source self-hosted QR code generator for increase privacy.

Coming Soon:

• International translation hooks

Thanks for your support!

What if I don't want the donation box to appear on my posts?

You can simply remove the bitcoin address from your user profile to disable the box from appearing on your posts. The same applies for any user.

I need help with something not mentioned here?
