How to Install and Use the Coinsnap Payment Button
The Coinsnap Payment Button lets you sell individual products or services for Bitcoin on any website without running a full shop system. You create the button in your Coinsnap dashboard, copy the HTML snippet, and embed it wherever you want users to pay.
Set everything up in just a few minutes – no coding required.
Step 1
How can I create a payment button?
Go to the menu item Pay-Tools in the Coinsnap backend. Here you will find the submenu item Pay button and can create a new payment button (see image on the right).You now have the option of creating the payment button according to your individual requirements. Enter your own name in the Title field so that you can differentiate between them if you create several payment buttons. Then enter the amount to be paid and the corresponding currency under Currency. In our example, 5 euros. In the Redirect Url field, enter the url to which you want to be redirected after successful payment. This can be a thank you page or a page on which the purchased content is displayed or offered for download.
Step 2
Creating a specific Pay-Button
In the Button Text field, you can specify what should be displayed to the payer on the payment button. You can specify the colour of the button in the Button Background field and the colour of the text in the Button Text Color field. If you are using a CSS theme on your website, these settings will be overwritten by the values of the theme.
This ensures that the button matches your website.
You can then choose whether you want to request the payer’s email address and whether you want to give them the option of sending you a message.
In this case, you activate Collect Email or Collect Message.
Then click on Create Payment Button and you will see a preview of the payment button:
Step 3
The Appearance of the Payment-Button
The appearance on your website may look slightly different later, as the payment button can take over the design of your website.
You will then be shown the HTML code for your website.
You can now copy this code and paste it into the desired place on your website.
On our website, the payment button will look like this:
If you would like to integrate such a payment button on your website, open a Coinsnap account now and create your own customised payment button.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Users Ask About This plugin
Do I need a full shop system like WooCommerce to use the Payment Button?
No. The Payment Button is specifically designed for websites where a complete shop system would be oversized. You simply place the button under a product or service description, and customers can pay directly with Bitcoin.
Can I create more than one Payment Button?
Yes. You can create multiple buttons in the Pay-Tools → Pay button section — for different products, services, or price points — and embed each one wherever it’s needed on your site.
Can I collect the customer’s email or a message with the payment?
Yes. While creating the button, you can enable Collect Email and/or Collect Message to request these details on the payment page. This is useful for digital delivery, support, or identifying the buyer.
Will the button match my website’s design?
The preview in Coinsnap shows a generic version of the button, but when you embed the HTML snippet on your site, it can inherit your website’s styling so it looks consistent with your existing design.
Where do the funds go after a customer pays?
All Bitcoin and Lightning payments are forwarded directly to the Lightning address or wallet you configured in your Coinsnap account. Coinsnap does not hold your funds; they are credited straight to you.
