Bitcoin and Lightning payments in Donation Plugin
The Bitcoin Donation plugin allows you to launch Bitcoin donations on your site fast and simply.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Lightning payment processing plugin you can immediately accept Bitcoin Lightning payments on your site. You don’t need your own Lightning node or any other technical requirements if you’d like to provide payments via Coinsnap payment gateway.
Simply register on Coinsnap, enter your own Lightning address and install the Coinsnap payment module in your WordPress backend. Add your store ID and your API key which you’ll find in your Coinsnap account, and your customers can pay you with Bitcoin Lightning right away!
