Greetings, I know enough about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to be dangerous.
Generally, you have a 'wallet' set up through a service (like Coinbase - https://www.coinbase.com/?locale=en-US) that allows you to keep track of your Bitcoins (and others). There are other similar services too. Then when you want to buy something using Bitcoin, you have a public / private key pair that you use to transfer the money to the other person. That transaction, along with your ID and their ID, gets recorded in an online distributed ledger in what is called a blockchain. The transaction can be independently verified by anyone and thus proves that the transaction took place. As for integrating something like that into an online shopping cart, you might want to check out the Coinbase developer platofrm - https://developers.coinbase.com/ Hope this helps.
