Köln/Wendelsheim/Belgrad, April 29, 2026 – Coinsnap, Europe’s leading provider of Bitcoin payment modules for online stores and websites, announces that Weingut Baeder, a premium German winery, now accepts Bitcoin payments in its online shop.
Customers of Weingut Baeder can now pay for their wines directly with Bitcoin (on-chain and Lightning) through a fully integrated checkout experience powered by Coinsnap: At checkout, Bitcoin appears as a regular payment option alongside traditional methods. Once selected, the system automatically generates a payment request with the exact invoice amount, converted in real time.
Customers are then presented with a clear payment interface, including a QR code and payment details, allowing them to complete the transaction instantly from their Bitcoin wallet. The process eliminates manual input such as IBANs, reference numbers, public keys, or wallet addresses, replacing it with a fast, accurate, and user-friendly payment flow—simply by scanning the QR code with a Bitcoin or Lightning wallet.
How Bitcoin Payment Works at Weingut Baeder
The Bitcoin payment process is simple and follows a few clear steps:
The customer selects wines in the online shop and proceeds to checkout. At the payment step, “Bitcoin via Lightning” is chosen as the preferred payment method [1].
On the right side, the exact invoice amount is displayed—including the Bitcoin discount that Weingut Baeder offers as an incentive for Bitcoin payments [2]. The customer simply clicks “Checkout” to proceed [3].
A QR code is generated instantly [4], which the customer scans using their Bitcoin or Lightning wallet. The payment details are pre-filled, so no manual entry of wallet addresses or amounts is required. Once the payment is confirmed, the purchase is completed.
Expanding Payment Options for Modern Wine Customers
Weingut Baeder, a German winery committed to organic viticulture and high-quality craftsmanship, combines a modern approach with a clear focus on terroir-driven wines. From fresh, vibrant estate wines designed for easy enjoyment to structured and elegant single-vineyard wines from sites such as La Roche, Kalkfels, Rotenfels, and Heiligenpfad, the winery reflects both accessibility and depth. With the introduction of Bitcoin payments, Weingut Baeder extends this forward-looking mindset into its customer experience.
“We see Bitcoin as a natural addition to our philosophy,” agree Katja and Jens Bäder, owners of Weingut Baeder: “Just as we focus on quality and transparency in the vineyard, we value simple, direct, and independent payment options for our customers. With Bitcoin payment, we can offer exactly that—an easy and modern way to pay for our wines.”
Integration by cekom: Seamless Implementation with Coinsnap
The Bitcoin payment option was implemented by cekom, a Cologne-based web agency specializing in e-commerce solutions. For Weingut Baeder’s custom-built online shop, cekom developed an individual Bitcoin payment integration using Coinsnap’s API, enabling Bitcoin and Lightning payments to be seamlessly embedded into the existing system.
Because the shop is based on a proprietary CMS, the integration was carried out entirely via API—allowing full flexibility while maintaining the existing checkout logic and user experience. The result is a fully functional Bitcoin payment option that fits naturally into the winery’s current e-commerce setup, without disrupting established processes.
“The integration with Coinsnap was straightforward and reliable. Thanks to the open architecture, robust API, and responsive support, we were able to seamlessly implement Bitcoin and Lightning payments into a custom webshop—cleanly and in a scalable way,” said Michael Schaefer, Technical Director and Authorized Signatory at cekom.
Bridging Tradition and Innovation
The adoption of Bitcoin payments highlights how traditional businesses like wineries can integrate modern payment technologies without disrupting their operations.
“Bitcoin payments open up a new customer segment for merchants who value speed, simplicity, and independence from traditional financial systems,” said Sebastian Paulke, CEO of Coinsnap. “Weingut Baeder shows how easily even established businesses can adopt this technology and benefit from it.”
