# monerowp
Monero WooCommerce Plugin for Wordpress
# MoneroWP
A WooCommerce extension for accepting Monero
## Dependancies
This plugin is rather simple but there are a few things that need to be set up before hand.
* A web server! Ideally with the most recent versions of PHP and mysql
* The Monero wallet-cli and Moenro wallet-rpc tools found [here](https://getmonero.org/downloads/)
* [WordPress](https://wordpress.org)
Wordpress is the backend tool that is needed to use WooCommerce and this Monero plugin
* [WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com)
This Monero plugin is an extension of WooCommerce, which works with WordPress
## Step 1: Activating the plugin
* Downloading: First of all, you will need to download the plugin. This can be done by typing `git clone https://github.com/monero-integrations/monerowp.git` or can be downloaded as a zip file from the GitHub web page.
* Put the plugin in the correct directory: You will need to put the folder named `monero` from this repo into the wordpress plugins directory. This can be found at `path/to/wordpress/folder/wp-content/plugins`
* Ativate the plugin from the WordPress admin panel: Once you login to the admin panel in WordPress, click on "Installed Plugins" under "Plugins". Then simply click "Activate" where it says "Monero - WooCommerce Gateway"
## Step 2: Setup the Monero Wallet RPC
* Setup a monero wallet using the moenro-wallet-cli tool. If you do not knwo how to do this you can learn about it at [getmonero.org](https://getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/monero-wallet-cli.html)
* Start the monero daemon on your server and leave it running in the background. This can be accomplished by running `./monerod` inside your monero downloads folder.
* Start the Wallet RPC and leave it running in the background. This can be accomplished by running `monero-wallet-rpc --rpc-bind-port 18081 --disable-rpc-login --wallet-file /path/walletfile` where "/path/walletfile" is your actual wallet file.
## Step 3: Setup Monero Gateway in WooCommerce
* Navigate to the "settings" panel in the WooCommerce widget in the WordPress admin panel.
* Click on "Checkout"
* Select "Monero GateWay"
* Check the box labeled "Enable this payment gateway"
* Enter your monero wallet address in the box labled "Monero Address". If you do not know your address, you can run the `address` commmand in your monero wallet
* Enter the IP address of your server in the box labeled "Daemon Host/IP"
* Enter the port number of the Wallet RPC in the box labeled "Daemon PORT" (will be `18081` if you used the above example).
* Click on "Save changes"
