Paying Invoices with Bitcoin
How your customers can easily pay their invoices in Bitcoin
Do you send invoices to your customers that have previously been paid by bank transfer, but now want to accept Bitcoin payments? With Coinsnap, your customers can pay their invoices using Bitcoin. There are two simple ways to do this:
- Bitcoin Payment Link
- Bitcoin Invoice Form
Both methods allow your customers to pay your invoices directly in Bitcoin. The main difference lies in how the payment process is initiated — and in the effort required on your side as the merchant.
Bitcoin Payment Link
With a Bitcoin Payment Link, your customer receives an individual payment URL, for example: 👉
https://pay-in-bitco.in/QZJIWg
When the customer clicks the link, a payment page opens showing a “Pay Invoice” button.
At the moment of payment, the Euro amount is automatically converted into Bitcoin based on the current exchange rate, and a QR code is displayed for the customer to scan with their Bitcoin wallet.
How to create a Payment Link
As the merchant, you generate the link directly in the Coinsnap backend under:
Menu → Pay Tools → Pay Link
You simply enter the invoice number, amount, and description. The system then generates a unique payment link that you can send to your customer.
In an upcoming update, you’ll also be able to upload a CSV file containing multiple invoices. Coinsnap will automatically generate the corresponding payment links — ideal for merchants who issue many invoices at once.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- Very convenient for the payer
- Each payment is clearly linked to a specific invoice
- Reduces errors or mismatched payments
Disadvantages:
- More setup effort for the merchant (one link per invoice)
- Less suitable for mass invoicing

Bitcoin Invoice Form
With the Bitcoin Invoice Form, you provide a fixed link on your own website, for example: 👉
https://my-company.com/bitcoin
Your customer visits this page and enters the invoice details (invoice number, amount, name, etc.) — just like filling out an online banking form.
After completing the fields, they click “Pay the invoice with Bitcoin”, and the payment process begins automatically.
Benefits for merchants
The biggest advantage: you don’t need to create an individual link for each invoice.
You can simply print the URL of your Bitcoin invoice form directly on every invoice — next to your usual bank details.
That way, every customer has the option to pay you in Bitcoin at any time.
Technical implementation
The Bitcoin Invoice Form is available in two versions:
- As a WordPress plugin – Coinsnap Bitcoin Invoice Form, compatible with both Coinsnap and BTCPay Server
- As HTML code – easily embedded into any type of website
In the Coinsnap backend, go to:
Menu → Pay Tools → Invoice Form
There, you can customize the field names and generate the HTML code to embed on your site.
Once added, your customers can pay invoices directly in Bitcoin — quickly and conveniently.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- No need to create separate links
- Works for all customers automatically
- Easy to integrate into existing invoicing processes
Disadvantages:
- Customer must enter their own data (potential for input errors)
- Less automatic payment assignment if data is incorrect

Recommendation
- If you occasionally receive Bitcoin payments and want to send a personalized payment link when a customer requests it, the Bitcoin Payment Link is the best option.
- If you want to offer Bitcoin as a standard payment option to all your customers without extra effort, choose the Bitcoin Invoice Form.
Both methods are excellent ways to give your customers — who previously paid via traditional bank transfer — a modern, transparent, and seamless way to pay invoices in Bitcoin.
