Great point. I will probably make the switch over to your tool soon. I’m glad there’s more devs working on this. If there’s a true plug and play true P2P checkout page for Shopify it will be so easy to convince sellers to accept BTC.

Great. You'll be one of the first users to implement BLFS in production so definitely if you get stuck anywhere please reach out for help ... https://megalithic.me/contact ... you can see that the docs are extensive .. https://docs.megalithic.me/BLFS/getting-started ... but that doesn't mean there aren't errors in the docs and it would be useful if you could find them...
Most definitely will. We will be in touch either way!
Working on the install now and everything worked well until the last and final step. When trying to add it as a Manual Payment Method it does not appear in list. Any ideas?
No obvious ideas off the top of my head. Shopify is a maze and the necessary steps are long, so the best guess is maybe you missed a step. Maybe retrace and make sure you did all the previous steps?
did you check for this "greyed out options" issue?
No issue with this. I logged in as store owner.
You are at this step, right? https://docs.megalithic.me/BLFS/merchant_add_buttons_to_ui
Maybe start from the top of that page and tell me where you get stuck?
I just redid the entire process from setting up the VPS and it still runs into that same missing piece on the last step. Yes, this is the right page I’m working on and it’s just the Manual Payment Method step where it doesn’t show up in the list.
Ok. Likely what I should do is follow the directions again from scratch on my end with my test merchant, to confirm the directions are still right on my end. Will ping u when I have done this.
The only hang up I had in any of the process was getting the docker installed but I confirmed with Claude that it’s in there properly.
I just added the button manually as a new Create Custom Payment Method and it worked. Just completed a checkout and it worked perfectly. You should update the docs to tell people that if that method doesn’t show up automatically they can just type in “Pay with Bitcoin Lightning”
Amazing, you just saved me !@$@#$ hours of rebuilding my test setup. Any chance you can get me on telegram or signal https://megalithic.me/contact -- it would be REALLY helpful if you could walk me through exactly where your problem was and where you fixed it, so I can modify the docs...
I was trying anything avoid sending you on a wild goose chase. Glad it’s working now! Just sent you a chat on signal.
