If instead of a web wallet you create browser extension then you (developer with open source code) never see user’s private key.
One thing that @renzokuken was looking into a while ago, was using the wallet seed/private-key as basis for deriving 2FA (using a custom derivation path). In that way you one time would need to link your wallet to an user name, and in the future could login using the username and 2FA key derived directly from your wallet. The nice thing is that would mean your wallet would become useful for ID and passkey management to login to all kind of services and that upon loss of the wallet, only the username and mnemonic are needed to recreate the ID.
Edit, this is also where I would see a open source Hardware Wallet (HW) to have additional value for the community, since it can also be used for 2FA similar as how the Bitcoin Jade HW is used both as HW and 2FA key.

Brilliant. The trivial way - just submit the username, this works. No account no personal data.
After creating a wallet the passphrase and pw is shown on the website. No email required.

Just a small update, after more than one year, the wordpress plugin I bought no longer support Grin (and I don’t want to pay more).
So… I created the wordpress plugin by myself with help of Chatgpt, and I finally make it work.
Basic features:
- Get the real time price from Coingecko on pair GRIN/USD
- Convert the total cost in cart and checkout page from USD to GRIN value, to let the buyer send that amount to my address stated in checkout page.
- Email of new order with Grin amount inside will be sent to customer.
Full code is here: GitHub - noobvie/woocommerce-grin-payment: Manual Grin payment in WordPress platform
Cart:
Checkout:
Email notification to customer about new order:
Anyways, my bounty is still there for automatic payment process although it’s not much…
Hope this plugin could spread Grin to the real world a little bit.
Cheers!

It’s exactly this kind of thing we need to get GRIN adopted. Thank you

This process would need to involve sending and checking payment proofs right?

Amazing work! I’m gonna have a Grin merch shop opening next year and would love to use this accept ツ instead of using Visa/MC/manual processing.

Does the language it’s coded in matter for you? Or does it have to be Rust?
Hi, I was wondering about a woocommerce plugin as well. I was thinking in doing something that would not require an active wallet running, and so it would use slatepacks.
Something that would require the vendor to enter some kind of non-spending key, a slatepack address and a trusted public grin node url of his/her desire. Then the plugin, actually the client browser, would handle the slatepack decoding/signing using the mentioned key (the backend would do the broadcasting and querying about block confirmation).
For the signing and crypto-ish stuff, a .wasm file could do the trick. What do you think? Would the need for the buyer to paste his slatepack into the browser be too painful?
I found that Grin does not have a view or receiving key. Therefore I cannot implement the safe signing for slatepack in client browser. Neither I can create a point of sale that does not contain spending key information.
I guess I am stuck for doing further.
