Coinsnap Bitcoin Crowdfunding Installation Guide

It is very simple and straightforward to create a crowdfunding form for your website. First, you want to name [1] and activate it [2].  Then you should fill in a description so that your potential donors know to what they are contributing to [3].

Then you must set a goal amount – your target in terms of how much you want to collect [4], and a thank you message that your visitors see after the put up their contribution [5].

Next, please choose the default currency that your visitors are going to see [6], and set the pre-defined values (in sats) that you offer [7] (your visitors can always enter their own amount, if the want to give more or less than proposed by you).

Collecting information from your donors

If you want to gather some intelligence on your donors, and have clicked the checkbox Collect Donor Info above the Donor Information Fields to do so, you simply choose which information you want to gather, and if you want it to be a mandatory information or leave it as an option for your donor to decide.

In this example the first name of the donor is a mandatory information. We do not try to collect their last name (Hidden), but request the email address (mandatory). All the information we do not intend to gather is labelled Hidden, and will not be shown in the crowdfunding box. [11]

Placing the Bitcoin donation box on your website

Now you are ready to display the Bitcoin donation box on your website. Simply copy the shortcode [8] and paste it at any place you choose. If you want your contributors to leave a message, activate the Shoutout list [9]. You can then copy the shortcake [10] and put it next to your crowdfunding box or on a dedicated site.
