BTCPay Server 2.0 realigns the internal architecture with the lessons we’ve learned since 2017, positioning us to better support both plugin developers and ourselves as we implement new features. While it may not seem immediately obvious, we expect users to see the full potential of 2.0 in the upcoming months, as the ecosystem continues to thrive and build on top of it.

⚠️ 2.0 breaking changes With BTCPay Server 2.0, we’re introducing breaking changes in our API that allow us to eliminate the technical debt that has accumulated over the years. While these changes are necessary to future-proof BTCPay and enable exciting new features, we understand that they may affect some users. For most, the transition to 2.0 will be seamless, but if you rely on custom integrations or plugins, you will need to update them to ensure compatibility with our 2.0 API.

🔄 Updating to 2.0 Updating to BTCPay Server 2.0 is a one-way process with no option for rolling back. Because of that, we're making it opt-in, requiring that you SSH into your server and run:

🌍 Interface localization This update allows you to translate the entire BTCPay Server back office with ease. All translation strings are in a single text box, easy to copy over to AI tools like ChatGPT, making the process of translating strings and pasting them back super-easy. This gives you full control to localize your BTCPay Server in any language quickly and efficiently.

🧭 New sidebar navigation In BTCPay Server 2.0, we have moved all navigation elements into a unified sidebar. This redesign ensures a clear information hierarchy and provides consistency when navigating different pages, allowing us to standardize all call-to-action buttons by keeping them prominently accessible at the top of the page.

🫂 Improved onboarding flow As part of our mission to help ambassadors onboard local communities to BTCPay Server faster, we have enhanced the onboarding experience and added personalization features to user profiles. If you're hosting BTCPay for others, they can get up and running by scanning a QR code or clicking the link.

🎨 Backend branding We added an optional feature that allows you to apply your branding colors to the back office as well!

🛒 New e-commerce integrations Seamless integration into existing systems remains one of our top priorities, and we’re excited to introduce three new e-commerce integrations that expand the possibilities for merchants: - @Wix - @Odoo - @BigCommerce

200 million small and medium-sized businesses using @Wix, can now accept Bitcoin via our integration thanks to @SolutionsNisaba!

Our new plugin for @Odoo versions 16 and 17 allows you to easily connect BTCPay with your Odoo store, enabling Bitcoin payments with minimal setup. You can even use it for ticket sales or any other module using online payment methods. It’s even possible to use it in Odoo Point Of Sale (PoS) by enabling online payments there.

BigCommerce is a platform designed for scalability and focused on enterprise-level merchants. We’re bringing Bitcoin payments to @BigCommerce users with our latest integration. Kudos to our integration wizard @ndeet for making it happen!

🔌 Plugins If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you might notice that some are disabled after updates - we do that to prevent server crashes. If you use plugins with your BTCPay Server, you may notice that some are disabled following updates - we do this to prevent server crashes. If you rely heavily on plugins for your BTCPay operations, we recommend that you double-check compatibility and look for announcements from plugin developers regarding their support for version 2.0 before proceeding with the upgrade. Plugin developers should update their submodules to 2.0 and fix any errors to ensure compatibility. Review the example PR from Nicolas on Payroll plugin or take a look at how @Boltzhq  updated their plugin. After resolving issues and thoroughly testing their plugin, developers should publish an updated release on

💚 Thank you With 2.0 we wanted to do all the hard work, most of which may be invisible, but it sets a great base on what we’re aiming to do in 2025. Keep an eye on the upcoming minor releases that we’ll ship if we notice any bugs. In the next few big releases we’re hoping to ship some of the most requested features that further enhance our mission.

Super-special shout out goes to our community testers, who went beyond and above testing the 2.0: @cypherpunkstore @decentralized_b, @dsbaars, & @JoinStrainly. We hope you enjoy what this update has to offer. As always, thank you to our invaluable contributors, who directly participated in making 2.0 possible: dennisreimann @dstrukt__ @ jackstar0512, @MrKukks @ndeet  @nicolasdorier, @SolutionsNisaba @pavlenex @r0ckstardev @TChileta and @WebWorthy.

Big thanks goes to our supporters who are ensuring our FOSS work is sustainable and are helping us make this tech available to everyone! @spiralbtc @OpenSats @BaillieGifford @Tether_to @HRF @LunaNode @walletofsatoshi @CoinCards @ivpnnet @unbankworld
