CoinGate plugs into WooCommerce as a payment gateway with payment_method=coingate, then stores the invoice id, receive currency, and final amount as keys on wc_orders_meta (HPOS) or postmeta on legacy stores. The default Orders screen treats a CoinGate payment the same as a Stripe one: order number, status, customer, total. The receive currency, the BTC or ETH amount that actually settled, the CoinGate invoice id you need for support tickets, all stay hidden until you click into each order.

SleekView reads wc_orders with a saved filter on payment_method and exposes the CoinGate-specific wc_orders_meta keys (_coingate_invoice_id, _coingate_order_id, _coingate_receive_currency, _coingate_pay_amount) as first-class columns. Sort by pay amount, filter by receive currency, group pending invoices by created date.

Inline edits to order status route through WooCommerce's CRUD layer, so the woocommerce_order_status_changed hook still fires and downstream actions (license issuance, digital-product fulfilment, accounting webhooks) trigger normally. Mark a stuck pending order as failed in one click without losing the audit trail.

CoinGate is a clean WooCommerce gateway plugin that handles the hard parts of Bitcoin and altcoin checkout, but the moment your store accepts more than a handful of crypto payments a week, the WooCommerce default Orders screen stops being enough. It does not show receive currency, pay amount, or invoice id as columns. It does not let you filter by payment_method without URL hacks.

It does not group pending invoices by created time so you can spot which ones are stuck waiting for confirmations. Finance teams reconciling against the CoinGate dashboard end up exporting CSVs and joining them by hand. Support staff fielding a "my BTC payment did not go through" ticket open five orders before they find the one with the matching invoice id.

SleekView turns the same data into a workspace that respects how crypto actually flows: filter by currency, surface invoice ids as a column, inline-edit status without losing hook side effects. Same database, same WooCommerce CRUD, dramatically less per-order clicking.
