Fully Implements the CoinPayments API in Ruby.
CoinPayments is an integrated payment gateway for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. There are Over 1040 Supported Coins available. You can accept all 1040 supported coins or just one.
This gem will make it dead simple to work with CoinPayments API set & integrate it into any Ruby Project.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'coin_payments'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install coin_payments
You'll first need to create a CoinPayments.net account to get started. If you don't have one, please consider creating one through my affiliate link: https://www.coinpayments.net/index.php?ref=1bf1c996fd6781bd4aabec78dda6250c

There are many tools for Merchants available. We are going to focus on the API integrations.
There are two sides we'll need to concern ourselves:
- Utilizing the API to manage payments & accounts
- Creating a webhook or Instant Payment Notification (IPN)
The only setup needed is to go to the API Keys page and generate an API key. You will be given a private and public key used to authenticate your API calls. Make sure you don't share your private key with any 3rd parties!
Note: You must click 'Edit Permissions' to enable most commands
You will need to set the following environment variables in your app, and the rest will work automatically
COIN_PAYMENTS_PUBLIC_KEY: "your-public-api-key"
COIN_PAYMENTS_PRIVATE_KEY: "your-private-api-key"
Once those are set, you are now ready to utilize the API. Available features have been implemented per the Features chart below
