Payment tag
Place the following form tag inside your Contact Form 7 form where the Bitcoin payment action should appear:
[coinsnap]
Coinsnap or BTCPay Server
The add-on supports:
- Coinsnap — accept Bitcoin without operating your own Bitcoin or Lightning payment infrastructure.
- BTCPay Server — connect your own self-hosted BTCPay Server.
Form submission after payment
Current releases support form submission after payment.
This allows the Contact Form 7 submission to be processed only after the Bitcoin payment has completed. The plugin also records the submission-after-payment status in its payments table.
Bitcoin discount
The current Coinsnap Contact Form 7 product supports an optional Bitcoin discount.
A fixed or percentage-based discount can be used to encourage visitors to choose Bitcoin when several payment methods are available.
Micropayments and anti-spam
Lightning makes small payments practical.
This can be used for paid newsletter sign-ups, comments, support requests, premium submissions or a small anti-spam fee on contact forms.
Settlement
With Coinsnap, payments can be settled to a compatible Bitcoin or Lightning wallet.
One option is the Coinsnap Wallet.
Coinsnap follows a non-custodial / self-custody approach and does not hold merchant Bitcoin.
Depending on the merchant setup and supported partner integrations, Bitcoin payments can also be automatically converted and settled to a bank account.
Fees
Coinsnap charges a 1% transaction fee. The fee is handled separately through the merchant’s Coinsnap balance and is not deducted from the Bitcoin payment.
