Bitcoin Shoutout
ACCEPT BITCOIN & LIGHTNING PAYMENTS WITH BITCOIN SHOUTOUT PLUGIN
Turn comments into revenue: let users pay with Bitcoin or Lightning to post, highlight high-value comments, and feature top supporters on your podcast or content.
What is the Bitcoin Shoutout Plugin?
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Shoutout Plugin lets visitors pay with Bitcoin or Lightning to post comments on WordPress—eliminating spam and turning comments into a monetized, value-based interaction channel with instant payouts to your wallet or bank account.
Create paid comments that matter: require Bitcoin or Lightning to post and turn top-tier messages into premium content for your blog, stream, or podcast.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Shoutout plugin, you can turn any WordPress page into a paid interaction and comment system where visitors leave messages, comments, and shoutouts only after paying a small amount in Bitcoin or Lightning. Instead of free, low-quality comments and spam, you create a value-based conversation space where only users who truly care participate.
Whether you run a blog, podcast, creator website, community page, or personal site, the plugin allows you to monetize engagement directly—without coding, intermediaries, or regional payment restrictions. Visitors can post comments, questions, or messages globally using Bitcoin or Lightning, with payments settling instantly.
The plugin is designed for creators and website owners who want meaningful, paid interactions rather than anonymous free comments. Typical use cases include paid blog comments, podcast shoutouts, premium Q&A submissions, highlighted community messages, or supporter callouts during livestreams or episodes.
With this plugin, you remain in full control at all times. Connect the plugin either to your own BTCPay Server or to your Coinsnap account, and all payments are sent directly from users’ wallets to your own Lightning or on-chain wallet. If you prefer not to hold Bitcoin, Coinsnap can automatically settle proceeds in euros to your bank account.
Customization options let you precisely control how shoutouts work on your site: enable or disable shoutouts, choose the display currency, customize the button and title text, set default and minimum shoutout amounts, define a premium amount for highlighted messages, prefill a default message, and select where shoutouts are displayed by assigning a dedicated shoutout list page URL. This allows you to tailor paid comments—from simple shoutouts to premium, prioritized messages—without any coding.
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Shoutout Plugin is ideal for WordPress site owners who want to monetize comments, eliminate spam completely, and create a fair “pay-to-be-heard” model—without relying on PayPal, Stripe, credit cards, or traditional banking systems. Lightning enables instant, low-fee micropayments, while on-chain Bitcoin ensures global compatibility.
Bitcoin’s borderless nature makes it uniquely suited for paid shoutouts: no chargebacks, no frozen accounts, no platform control, and immediate settlement directly to you.
With Coinsnap, turning WordPress comments into a paid, spam-free engagement channel takes only a few clicks—simple, global, and fully under your control.
Transform your comment section into a paid engagement channel with Bitcoin-powered comments
WHO IS THIS PLUGIN FOR?
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Shoutout Plugin is designed for WordPress website owners who want to monetize comments and user interactions while eliminating spam.
It is ideal for bloggers, podcasters, creators, educators, streamers, community operators, and independent site owners who want paid, high-quality comments and messages instead of anonymous free comments. By requiring a small Bitcoin or Lightning payment to post a shoutout, the plugin automatically blocks bots and spam, ensuring that only real users who care enough to pay can participate.
Rather than dealing with moderation queues and spam filters, the plugin creates a pay-to-comment model where messages have real value. Minimum and premium shoutout amounts allow you to monetize engagement, highlight important messages, and prioritize comments for use in podcasts, livestreams, or featured content.
All shoutouts are paid instantly using Bitcoin or Lightning, making global micropayments frictionless and practical. Messages can be displayed next to the shoutout form or on a dedicated shoutout page, with higher-value contributions automatically highlighted for greater visibility.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Shoutout Plugin, all payments go directly to you—either to your own Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin wallet, or settled in euros to your bank account via Coinsnap’s partners Bringin or DFX.
The plugin is especially well suited for value-based, spam-free interaction models where attention and visibility are earned, not abused. It offers a simple, transparent way to turn WordPress comments into a paid engagement channel using nothing more than your existing website.
Use your Bitcoin Shoutout plugin to:
- Monetize blog comments and block spam by design
Require a small Bitcoin or Lightning payment to leave a comment on blog posts. This removes bots and low-quality spam entirely while turning your comment section into a paid, high-signal discussion space. - Run paid podcast shoutouts and listener messages
Let listeners submit Bitcoin-paid shoutouts and messages. Define a premium amount and read or feature only higher-value comments during podcast episodes or on a dedicated shoutout page. - Create gamified and incentive-based interactions
Use paid shoutouts to build creative engagement models: reward the top contributor with a prize, feature premium supporters, or enter users into a raffle when their shoutout exceeds a defined premium amount—turning comments into interactive, revenue-generating experiences. - Offer paid Q&A for educators and experts
Allow students or readers to submit questions only after paying in sats. This ensures serious questions, fewer repeats, and meaningful engagement for courses, blogs, or educational content. - Highlight and prioritize supporter feedback
Use premium shoutout thresholds to automatically highlight important comments. Supporters who pay more receive greater visibility and priority, without manual moderation. - Create a spam-free message wall for your community
Replace free comment walls or guestbooks with a Bitcoin-paid shoutout feed. Only real users participate, and every message contributes directly to funding your content.
