Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Coinsnap Comment Payments with Bitcoin version 1.0.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Gate Comments with Bitcoin Payments!
Monetise your blog’s comment section by requiring a small Bitcoin or Lightning Network micropayment before a comment is published. When a visitor submits a comment, a payment modal appears inline. Once payment is confirmed via webhook, the comment is automatically approved and appears on the post no manual moderation needed.
Payment processing is handled securely via Coinsnap or your own BTCPay Server.
Requirements:
A WordPress website (version 6.0 or higher)
The Coinsnap Comment Payments with Bitcoin plugin
A Coinsnap account or your own BTCPay Server
Key Features:
Per-Post-Type Amounts: Set a different payment amount (in satoshis) for posts, pages, WooCommerce product reviews, and any custom post type.
Two Payment Providers: Use Coinsnap (no server required) or self-hosted BTCPay Server.
Inline Payment Modal: The Coinsnap checkout appears directly on the page; no redirect, no friction.
Real-time Status Polling: The modal polls the payment status and publishes the comment automatically on confirmation.
Webhook Verification: Incoming webhook payloads are verified with HMAC signature checking.
Admin & Author Notifications: Receive email confirmation the moment a comment payment settles. Optionally notify the comment author too.
Honeypot Anti-spam: A hidden field silently blocks bots before any payment logic runs.
Credential Sharing: Automatically inherits API keys from other installed Coinsnap plugins (WooCommerce, Booking Form, Donation, Invoice Form) so you never configure the same credentials twice.
Modern Admin UI: Card-based settings page with connection status badge, provider toggle, and BTCPay setup wizard.
Two Operating Modes:
Coinsnap: Sign up at app.coinsnap.io, get your Store ID and API Key, and you’re ready. No server required.
BTCPay Server: Connect to your own BTCPay Server using the one-click API Key generation wizard.
