Bitcoin Invoice Form: How to get bills paid with Bitcoin (on-chain & Lightning)
Paying bills with Bitcoin – why it matters now
Imagine you’re a tradesman and you’ve just completed a project. Your customer is satisfied, and you send them the invoice. Normally, you’d expect a traditional bank transfer. But this customer asks, “Can I pay the invoice with Bitcoin?“
Or maybe you run a small online shop. Your customers can currently only pay by bank transfer because integrating other payment methods is complicated. But the question is increasingly coming up: “Does this also work with Bitcoin?“
Coinsnap’s Bitcoin invoice form enables you to do just that: have invoices paid with Bitcoin , directly on your website – simple, reliable, and without any media disruption.
Bills as usual – plus Bitcoin option
You issue your invoice as usual (services, IBAN, payment term). Additionally, you offer “Pay bill with Bitcoin” – e.g. at: yourdomain.com/bitcoin. There, your customers will find a form that’s just as intuitive to use as a classic online transfer form:
- Invoice amount and currency (e.g. Euro)
- Invoice number for unique assignment
- optional name and message
After clicking on “Pay invoice with Bitcoin”, a QR code will be displayed that can be paid with Bitcoin on-chain or with Lightning.
Practical examples – where the Bitcoin invoice form makes sense
The Bitcoin invoice form is suitable not only for traditional service providers, but for a wide range of industries.
Online shops
Not every online store can easily integrate Bitcoin payments. The invoice form offers a simple solution: You continue to offer payment on account – the customer can then freely choose whether to pay the invoice by bank transfer or directly with Bitcoin.
Contractors & service providers
Whether it’s a painter, electrician, or IT consultant, many service providers issue invoices for their services – either as an advance payment or after the job is completed. With the Bitcoin invoice form, your customers can now also pay these invoices with Bitcoin, without you having to change your existing accounting system.
Hotels & Restaurants
Invoicing is also common in the hotel and restaurant industry – whether as a deposit or a final invoice for overnight stays, events, or catering. With the additional Bitcoin option, guests can pay their bill directly in Bitcoin, giving them the peace of mind of using a modern payment method.
Goods seller
Whether you’re a wholesaler, a small shop, or a sole proprietor, the form can be used anywhere that sells goods and issues invoices. Merchants who already work with international customers in particular benefit from the fact that Bitcoin payments are fast, inexpensive, and borderless.
Fair Bitcoin conversion at the time of payment
A major advantage of the Bitcoin invoice form is the dynamic conversion:
the euro amount is only converted into Bitcoin at the time of payment – not when the invoice is created.
This means for you and your customers:
- Regardless of when payment is made within the payment period, the Bitcoin amount is always current.
- Volatility plays no role in settlement.
The payment will be credited instantly to your Lightning wallet. If you wish, you can automatically convert the amount into euros and have it paid out to your bank account. (see below)

Extra feature: Discount when paying invoices via Bitcoin – more conversion , fewer fees
An exciting additional feature is the Bitcoin discount function. If you want to encourage your customers to pay with Bitcoin, you can, for example, offer a 5% discount.
The form automatically calculates the reduced amount and displays it to the payer. This creates a real incentive for payments in Bitcoin!
Optional: Receive Bitcoin payments in euros – this keeps your accounting clean
If you want to accept payments in Bitcoin but do not want to keep Bitcoin in your accounting, you can automatically convert incoming Bitcoin invoice amounts directly into euros (e.g. with Coinsnap + Bringin or DFX) and credit them to your company account.
