 == Installation ==
 
+This plugin requires GiveWP. Please make sure you have GiveWP installed.
+
+To add BTCPay Server as payment gateway to GiveWP, follow the steps below or check our official [installation instructions](https://docs.btcpayserver.org/GiveWP/).
+
+### 1. Deploy BTCPay Server (optional) ###
+
+This step is optional, if you already have a BTCPay Server instance setup you can skip to section 2. below. To launch your BTCPay server, you can self-host it, or use a third party host.
+
+#### 1.1 Self-hosted BTCPay ####
+
+There are various ways to [launch a self-hosted BTCPay](https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-doc#deployment). If you do not have technical knowledge, use the [web-wizard method](https://launchbtcpay.lunanode.com) and follow the video below.
+
+https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjslXYvp8bk
+
+For the self-hosted solutions, you will have to wait for your node to sync fully before proceeding to step 3.
+
+#### 1.2 Third-party host ####
+
+Those who just want to test BTCPay out, or are okay with the limitations of a third-party hosting (dependency and privacy, as well as lack of some features) can use a one of many [third-party hosts](ThirdPartyHosting.md).
+
+The video below shows you how to connect your store to such a host.

+
+You can find detailed installation instructions on our [GiveWP documentation](https://docs.btcpayserver.org/GiveWP/).
+
+###  3. Connecting your wallet ###
+
+No matter if you're using self-hosted or server hosted by a third-party, the process of configuring your wallet is the same.
