 * 1) How many coins does your plugin accept now?
    2) is it required to have a payment
   gateway service/merchant account from a provider for accepting cryptocurrencies?
   or as it is on blockchain network using our wallet address is enough? 3) what
   is difference beween using a plugin like yours and websites who provide crypto
   paymnet gateways?

 * Hello,
 * 1) I cannot give you an exact number, since the plugin does not accept a specific
   set of currencies, but can be used with a certain number of classes of currencies:
 * You can use any coin that is supported by CoinPayments, using the CoinPayments
   adapter extension: [https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/coinpayments-adapter-extension/](https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/coinpayments-adapter-extension/)
   The updated list of coins is here: [https://www.coinpayments.net/supported-coins](https://www.coinpayments.net/supported-coins)
 * You can use the plugin with a Bitcoin wallet or with any wallets that share the
   same RPC API. This currently includes thousands of currencies. Use the Full Node
   Multi-Coin adapter to connect to Litecoin wallets, Dogecoin, etc: [https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/full-node-multi-coin-adapter-extension/](https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/full-node-multi-coin-adapter-extension/)
 * You can connect to Monero wallets and/or any wallets that are a Monero fork, 
   with the Monero Coin Adapter extension: [https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/monero-coin-adapter-extension/](https://www.dashed-slug.net/bitcoin-altcoin-wallets-wordpress-plugin/monero-coin-adapter-extension/)
 * As you can understand the number of actual coins in these classes changes all
   the time.
 * 2) With this plugin, you need to use coin adapters to connect to one or more 
   wallets. Whether you use a third party wallet, or you set it up yourself on a
   server is up to you, and both approaches have their pros and cons. A connection
   to a wallet is always needed, in order to generate deposit addresses, even if
   you do not want to allow withdrawals (for example, you can keep the wallet locked).
 * 3) If all you are interested in is a payment gateway, then this plugin may not
   be for you. With this plugin, users can pay with balances that they already have
   deposited on your site. So it’s a two-step process. First a user deposits an 
   amount, then they can use (part of) that amount to pay for a cart checkout. The
   advantage of this family of plugins is that the user can do a number of things,
   including use the Exchange extension. Please see the FAQ section for the [WooCommerce Cryptocurrency payment gateway](http://why not use another bitcoin payment gateway for WooCommerce?),
   under the heading “why not use another bitcoin payment gateway for WooCommerce?”.
 * Hope this helps
 * with regards
