Bitcoin payment for WPForms

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.
