Payment Link

Let your customers or clients pay their bills with Bitcoin

Invoice Payments Simplified with Bitcoin & Lightning

Generate a shareable payment link and receive Bitcoin or Lightning payments immediately.

Whether you’ve issued an invoice, sent a quote, or require payment for services, the Coinsnap Payment Link makes it easy. After logging in to your Coinsnap account, go to Payment tools → Pay link. Create your link by entering a title (e.g., invoice number), the amount, the currency, and optionally a due date and description. Share the link via email, embed it in your invoices or website, and your customer pays via a Lightning QR code or Bitcoin. Funds are forwarded directly to your wallet, and the exchange rate at the time of payment is used — protecting you from currency fluctuations. Use it for freelancers, consultants, service providers, small businesses, charities or anyone who needs a quick Bitcoin payment option without requiring a full shop.

A Simple and Powerful Way to Accept Bitcoin Payments Without a Shop System

The Coinsnap Payment Link gives you a powerful tool to collect Bitcoin or Lightning payments without the overhead of setting up an online store, payment gateway or plugin. After logging in to your Coinsnap merchant dashboard, navigate to Payment tools → Pay link. Here, you define the payment details: title, amount, currency, due date (optional), and description.

Once created, the link leads to a payment page where your customer can choose to pay via Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin. A QR code is generated, the payment is processed, and the funds are sent directly to your Lightning wallet or Bitcoin address. You maintain full control of your funds — no intermediaries.

Use this solution for services, invoices, donations, consultations, bookings, freelancers — any case where a quick payment URL is all that’s needed. The built-in exchange-rate mechanism means you set your price in fiat (e.g., EUR or USD), and the BTC amount is calculated at payment time — minimizing your exposure to volatility.

You can also issue a generic “pay-now” link that your clients use repeatedly — similar to offering bank account details on an invoice. This makes the Payment Link especially useful for recurring clients, subscriptions, or repeat service providers.

Coinsnap removes the complexity from cryptocurrency payments. Create a link, share it, get paid — it’s that simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Payment Link

Do I need a full e-commerce store to use the Payment Link?

No. The link works independently — you simply create and share it with your customer, no shop or plugin required.

How is the invoice amount calculated in Bitcoin?

You set the amount in fiat currency (e.g., EUR or USD) and when the link is paid, Coinsnap applies the live exchange rate to convert it to Bitcoin.

Where does the payment go?

The payment goes straight to your Lightning wallet or the Bitcoin address you specified in your Coinsnap account.

Does the customer need to install anything?

No additional software is required. The customer simply opens the link, scans the QR code, and pays with their Bitcoin wallet.

Can I reuse the same payment link for multiple clients?

Yes — you can use a static link with an empty invoice form (similar to providing bank account details) which your clients complete with their amount and description.
