The CryptAPI extension lets your OpenCart store receive payments in cryptocurrency, with a simple setup and no sign-ups required.
This page guides you through installing and configuring our OpenCart extension. For the full extension reference, see OpenCart.
Installation Steps
Step 1: Open the Installer
Log in to your OpenCart store's admin area and click Extensions to open a dropdown menu. Then click Installer.
Step 2: Upload the extension
On the Installer page, click Upload and select the CryptAPI extension file.
Make sure the file name ends like this:
CryptAPIExtensionOC3.ocmod.zipYou may need to add the .ocmod part, otherwise OpenCart won't accept the file.
Step 3: Go to Extensions
After you select the file, your store installs the CryptAPI extension. When it's done, your screen should look like this. Then click Extensions.
