BitPay cryptocurrency payment processor for python-getpaid.

This is a backend for python-getpaid that integrates BitPay payment gateway. It allows your application to accept both traditional fiat and various cryptocurrencies, with payments optionally converted to fiat or kept in crypto.

• Full Async Support: Built on top of httpx and anyio for high-performance asynchronous operations.
• Cryptocurrency Support: Accept BTC, BCH, ETH, XRP, DOGE, LTC, and stablecoins like USDC, USDT, DAI, WBTC, SHIB.
• Fiat Support: Supports over 200 fiat currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, PLN, JPY, CAD, etc.).
• Dual Facade Support:
  • POS Facade: Lightweight invoice creation using only a POS Token.
  • Merchant Facade: Full control including invoice retrieval, cancellation, and refunds (requires private key and merchant token).
• Secure Webhooks: Automatic verification of BitPay IPN (Instant Payment Notification) using HMAC-SHA256 signatures.
• Refunds: Support for partial and full refunds via the BitPay API.
• Framework Agnostic: Works with Django, Litestar, or any other Python web framework via python-getpaid-core.

This plugin uses its own native async HTTP client instead of wrapping the official BitPay Python SDK. The custom implementation provides:

1. Async-first architecture: No thread offloading for sync calls.
2. Minimal dependencies: Avoids version pinning conflicts (e.g., Pydantic).
3. Clean testing: Built-in support for respx for reliable test doubles.

Install the package using pip:

pip install python-getpaid-bitpay

Add bitpay to your GETPAID_BACKENDS setting and provide the necessary credentials.

Only invoice creation is supported with this setup.
