Collect small Bitcoin (Satoshi) payments for every vote on your WordPress site. Great for monetized polls, community engagement and SPAM-free surveys
Turn votes into Bitcoin: The Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin lets you collect small Bitcoin (Satoshi) payments for every vote on your WordPress site. Great for monetized polls, community engagement, and SPAM-free surveys.
Visitors vote by paying a small amount of sats (you define the amount). This:
- Prevents bots from distorting the result

The Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting can be searched and installed in the WordPress plugin directory.
In your WordPress instance, go to the Plugins > Add New section. In the search you enter Coinsnap and get as a result the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin displayed.
Then click Install.
After successful installation, click Activate and then you can start setting up the plugin.
After you have installed and activated the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin, you need to set Coinsnap or BTCPay server up. You can find Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting settings in the sidebar on the left under “Bitcoin Voting”.
To set up Bitcoin Lightning voting, please enter your Coinsnap Store ID and your API key besides the other parameters there; you can find these in your Coinsnap account under “Settings -> Store”, “Coinsnap Shop”.
If you don’t have a Coinsnap account yet, you can do so via the link shown: Coinsnap Registration.
Now go to the Coinsnap website at: https://app.coinsnap.io/register and open an account by entering your email address and a password of your choice.
If you are using a Lightning Wallet with Lightning Login, then you can also open a Coinsnap account with it.
You will receive an email to the given email address with a confirmation link, which you have to confirm. If you do not find the email, please check your spam folder.
Then please log in to the Coinsnap backend with the appropriate credentials.
After you sign up, you will be asked to provide two pieces of information.
In the Website Name field, enter the name of your online store that you want customers to see when they check out.
In the Lightning Address field, enter the Lightning address to which the Bitcoin and Lightning transactions should be forwarded.
A Lightning address is similar to an e-mail address. Lightning payments are forwarded to this Lightning address and paid out. If you don’t have a Lightning address yet, set up a Lightning wallet that will provide you with a Lightning address.
For more information on Lightning addresses and the corresponding Lightning wallet providers, click here.
After saving settings you can use Store ID and Api Key on the step 2.
Go to "Bitcoin Voting" in the sideboard on the left in your WordPress and click on "Bitcoin Voting". At the top of the page you will find shortcode [bitcoin_voting] that you can use it in your content.
