This virtual currency is now widely used that online merchants are exploring the possibility of accepting bitcoins as payments for the goods they sell. Fortunately for them, there is no shortage of tools for this purpose.

WordPress is one of the more popular online platforms for websites. The following are some of the available Bitcoin plug-ins on WordPress.
