Sorry you are getting so many salty responses. I think a lot of people do not realize how much can go into this, there are a ton of digital download scripts for taking crypto payments, but a lot of them are very low quality or basically abandoned. The example you gave is Bitshop by Bitfreak, and I used to have several stores running the software. Unfortunately, can't get any more response from the developer, and it's unknown if there will be any more updates. So I have moved on to different solutions. I also tried BitCommerce (2019), and unfortunately it is also now abandoned. So be careful when picking one of these scripts, you can lose a lot of time and money getting abandoned with no recourse other than starting over on a new platform.

The other issue is that even when you do have the ability to take crypto payments, you cannot always trust the gateway you rely on. I used to heavily rely on Coinpayments for one of my sites. One day, Coinpayments decided to leave my country and lock my account from doing any more transactions. Now that site became a huge pain in the ass since I can only process transactions manually. Plus some gateways may require KYC or other types of verification, which may ore my not be an issue for some people.

In my opinion, after MUCH trial and error many different scripts tested, I have just one recommendation for processing crypto payments: BitcartCC from https://bitcartcc.com. It can work both as payment processing server, and as a standalone web store. It's fully free and open source, it supports a huge list of different cryptocurrencies, it doesn't require any external API or verification service (you can use your own private node or public nodes). It can also be used as a Wordpress payment gateway for your Wordpress Woocommerce stores. The standalone store supports digital downloads, so it's up to you if you want to use Wordpress or not (You'll need Wordpress/Woocommerce if you want to take any kind of payment other than crypto).

If you set up BitcartCC as a payment gateway for Wordpress, I recommend setting it up under a subdomain for your site. So lets say my Woocommerce site is wordpress.garden. If someone uses the BitcartCC gateway to buy something on Woocommerce, they get redirected to crypto.wordpress.garden for making bitcoin or crypto payments, and they can pay directly from their wallet or Metamask. From the perspective of the user, it doesn't even seem like they are leaving your site when they pay, making the whole thing very unobtrusive and professional.

If you have any more questions let me know. I'm not affiliated at all with BitcartCC but it's a great project and their Telegram community is amazing.
