> Hi! I have seen a website that is a shop using bits as payment currency. [https://mateozshop.com/](https://mateozshop.com/) I would like to do something similar, but I cannot find the API I would need, or if there is already a plugin for a cms like wordpress. Where could I start? Thanks a lot for your help Regards Jesus

This shop may vioalte the rules since bits/cp’s probably can’t be transactioned like this for “real world” products.

Their FAQ covers how their points work

```auto
What ways do I have to earn points?
Watch MateoZ live, you earn 1 point every minute. Twitch subscribers will get 5 points every minute, activated when you comment 1 time on streaming.

Participate in the DROPS and DRAWS of points that MateoZ will do when he sees fit.

Buy bits, 1 bit equals 1 point.

```

There is no usage of Channel Points on this site to my knowledge. They use a custom currency, not Twitch’s
