How do I use Strike with Shopify?
Strike provides a no-code solution for adding Bitcoin Lightning payments to your Shopify store. The Strike Shopify app lets your customers send bitcoin payments through the Lightning Network, to be received into your Strike account as cash.
To get started, ensure you’ve signed up for a Strike Business account. Once your account has been set up and verified, you can visit the Strike Shopify app in the Shopify app store and click “Install” to add the free app to your store. To complete the installation, you’ll need to sign in to your Strike account using your account credentials.
Once you have added the Strike app to your Shopify store, you’re ready to accept payments. When a customer shops in your store and proceeds to checkout, they will now have the option to select “Pay with Bitcoin Lightning” among the listed payment options. When a customer selects “Pay with Bitcoin Lightning” and clicks “Pay now”, they will be guided through the following payment steps:
Please note that the Lightning invoices expire, since they use a temporary exchange rate between the checkout cash amount and bitcoin. If the invoice expires prior to being paid, the customer can click “Generate new invoice” to and try their payment again.
You can view your completed transactions within your Strike Dashboard. The Strike Dashboard is a web-based desktop interface that lets you manage your Strike business activity, such as depositing or withdrawing cash, buying bitcoin, or making transactions through the Bitcoin and Lightning Networks.
If you experience any issues in signing up or processing payments, please contact support@strike.me and our support team will be happy to assist you. Please note, the Strike Shopify integration is currently available for US-based users.
