Bitcoin Payment Link
ACCEPT BITCOIN & LIGHTNING PAYMENTS FOR INVOICES, SERVICES, AND ONE-OFF CHARGES
Turn any invoice into a single, click-to-pay payment link — replacing bank transfers, payment instructions, and manual data entry with a fast, secure Bitcoin & Lightning checkout.
What Is a Payment Link — and Why It Simplifies Invoice Payments
The Bitcoin Payment Link is a simple, practical way to simplify invoice payments. Wherever bank transfers are used today, a Bitcoin Payment Link can dramatically simplify the payment process — for both the payer and the payment recipient. Instead of sharing IBANs, reference numbers, and payment instructions that customers must manually re-enter in their banking app, you send one secure link. All payment-relevant details are already embedded in that link, including invoice number, reference or customer ID, amount, currency, and optional payment notes.
This not only makes paying invoices significantly easier for customers — it also reduces the risk of failed or delayed payments. There are no mistyped account numbers, missing references, or incorrectly entered amounts. Customers simply open the link and complete the payment in seconds, while you receive a correctly attributed payment every time. In this case, the payment is completed via Bitcoin or Lightning, but the real advantage is a cleaner, faster, and more reliable invoice payment flow that fully replaces traditional bank transfer instructions.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Payment Link, you can offer your customers or clients a simple, professional way to pay your invoice — without a shop system, checkout, or website.
After logging into your Coinsnap merchant account, you create a secure payment link by defining the invoice number, recipient, amount, and currency. Optionally, you can add an expiration date, description, internal note, customer email field, redirect URL after payment, or even enable a Bitcoin discount. All invoice details are pre-filled by the issuer. Once generated, the link leads to a hosted, browser-based payment page where your customer can pay instantly via Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin—without filling out any form fields.
You can also upload invoice data for multiple invoices via CSV. Coinsnap automatically generates an individual Bitcoin Payment Link for each uploaded invoice, with all details correctly prefilled. You can then copy each link directly from your Coinsnap dashboard and send it to customers or clients via email, invoice, or message.
The Bitcoin Payment Link is fully platform-independent. It opens a Coinsnap-hosted payment interface that works in any modern browser and can be shared via email, messenger, PDF invoices, websites, or CRM systems. Beyond entering the invoice details, no installation or setup is required on either side.
All payments use real-time exchange-rate conversion. You set prices in fiat (e.g., EUR or USD), and the Bitcoin amount is calculated at the moment of payment — reducing exposure to volatility. Coinsnap does not custody funds: payments are forwarded directly to your Lightning wallet, on-chain Bitcoin address, connected BTCPay Server, or automatically settled in fiat via Coinsnap’s payout partners Bringin or DFX.
The Bitcoin Payment Link is designed for remote and service-based payments — ideal for freelancers, consultants, agencies, service providers, contractors and any other businesses that need a fast, flexible way to request Bitcoin payments without operating an online store.

WHO IS THE PAY-LINK FOR?
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Pay-link is designed for businesses and professionals who need a simple way to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments — without running a shop system, payment gateway, or website.
It is ideal for freelancers and independent contractors, consultants and advisors, law offices and solo attorneys, accounting firms and tax professionals, agencies and studios, IT service providers, technicians, tradespeople, and small service-based businesses that invoice clients directly and prefer a simple, link-based way to accept Bitcoin payments instead of running a website, shop system, or complex payment infrastructure.
Whether you send invoices by email, share payment requests via messaging apps, or embed payment links in PDFs or websites, the Bitcoin Pay-link gives your customers an easy way to pay with Bitcoin.
For businesses with their own invoicing or automated billing systems, an API is available to generate Bitcoin Payment Links directly from existing software. This is ideal for structured workflows such as service platforms, SaaS, or e-commerce applications previously using bank transfers. Coinsnap provides the API, with integration support available from Coincharge if needed.
Because the Payment Link opens a Coinsnap-hosted, browser-based payment page, it works independently of any platform, e-commerce system, or software stack. Customers can pay from any device using Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin — no installation required.
All payments are settled instantly and non-custodially. Funds are forwarded directly to your Lightning wallet, on-chain Bitcoin address, your connected BTCPay Server, or—if preferred—automatically settled in fiat via Coinsnap partners such as Bringin or DFX.
The Bitcoin Payment Link is built for modern, remote, and service-based commerce, enabling businesses to accept Bitcoin payments without changing their existing invoicing or billing workflows.
