I've been hearing good things about the Lightning network.  This is a great solution.  It took the community nearly 6 years, but it's a viable solution.

<p>Mycelium Gear works well with Electrum and Wordpress. As does CoinSimple. Each: Money straight to your HD wallet with Electrum - one address per sale. Each has a plugin for Wordpress.</p>

What is Mycelium Gear, how does it integrate with Electrum and not other wallets, what makes you say "works well"?… Please give us something to work with, not a one-liner without explanation.

I know that there is the [Bitcoin Payments for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitcoin-payments-for-woocommerce/), but it hasn't been updated in over and year and doesn't support the latest version of Electrum MPK. It only supports Electrum 1.9.8 MPK.

You can accept Bitcoin over Lightning (much faster and almost no transaction fees), which is a second layer solution on top of Bitcoin.

LNBits plugin for WordPress adds a Bitcoin/Lightning payment gate into your WooCommerce e-shop. The payments go into LNBits Lightning wallet which you can first use the custodial one at lnbits.com and later switch to your own instance of LNBits running on Umbrel (it's fully open source):

Then you will be accepting Bitcoin in WordPress e-shop, without any middleman (fully controlling your keys) and without fees (except tiny routing fees).
