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.
Bitcoin discount
The current Coinsnap WPForms product supports an optional Bitcoin discount.
A fixed or percentage-based discount can be used to encourage visitors to choose Bitcoin when multiple payment methods are available.
Micropayments and anti-spam
Lightning makes very small payments practical.
This allows WPForms to support paid contact requests, premium submissions or small anti-spam fees. A small Lightning payment can create an economic barrier for automated spam while remaining inexpensive for legitimate users.
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.
