| - | ===== Setting Up coinbase for FoxyCart ===== | ||
| - | There are a few advanced settings possible on the Coinbase side, but this is the minimum to get you going: | ||
| - | - Create an account with Coinbase (if you already have one, you may wish to start a new wallet for foxycart purchases). I highly suggest using two-step verification to better secure your account. | ||
| - | - From within Coinbase: Select Settings/ | ||
| - | - In the New API Key window, under the Accounts heading, select which wallet you want purchases to go into. | ||
| - | - Under the Permissions heading select " | ||
| - | - Under the Security Settings heading, leave the Allowed IP Addresses blank. | ||
| - | - Click Create. | ||
| - | - Your new API key will show up in the API list, but it is disabled initially. You must click enable and you will be emailed a code to enable the API Key. Paste in the code and you have an active key. | ||
| - | - Note that the key is truncated in the API Key list, click on it to see the full API Key and API Secret. | ||
| - | - In a separate browser window open your foxycart settings and go to STORE/ | ||
| - | - Now back to Coinbase, where you have one final step before you can accept purchases: From your home account page select " | ||

| - | **Instant Exchange** is a Coinbase feature that allows you to accept Bitcoin, but have it instantly converted to currency (e.g. USD) and deposited to the bank account of your choice. This could significantly reduce your exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, | ||
| - | More info: https:// | ||
| - | |||
| - | I asked Coinbase about the API Key permissions to set and this was their reply: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Merchant permission is all you need, and the only one that you should select in order to configure your FoxyCart account. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This will allow the following actions: | ||
| - | Create payment buttons and forms, view your basic user information, | ||
| - | |||
| - | You shouldn’t need to restrict the server IP, both because the IP address Foxy uses may actually change, and because there is no risk of this key being used to move funds from your account. | ||

| + | ==== Possible Action: Datafeed Handling ==== | ||
| + | At the time of the customer completing the transaction - we don't necessarily know whether the transaction was completed yet or not. We instead rely on a notification from the gateway after the checkout has been completed to confirm whether the transaction was approved or not. To handle this, transactions are initially marked as pending, and when we get a confirmation from the gateway on the result of the transaction, | ||
