Coinsnap for BTCPayWall
If you want to accept donations or offer content for Bitcoin or Lightning payments on your WordPress website, we recommend using BTCPayWall. BTCPayWall acts as a Bitcoin paywall for the sale of digital content on WordPress.
BTCPayWall enables the monetization of individual blog posts (pay-per-post), videos (pay-per-view) and digital products such as e-books or PDFs. It is also possible to accept donations in Bitcoin. Customers can simply pay with Bitcoin or Lightning.
The BTCPayWall plugin for WordPress is designed so that it can be integrated with both the BTCPay server and Coinsnap as payment gateways. To use the BTCPayWall via Coinsnap, link it to your Coinsnap account so that your customers can make payments in Bitcoin and Lightning. All incoming Bitcoin payments are immediately forwarded to your Lightning Wallet.
Example: Receipt of donations
The following applications are possible with the BTCPayWall:
- Protect blog posts with a paywall and give access to the content when visitors pay with Bitcoin or Lightning.
- Secure video and audio files with a paywall and release them in exchange for a Bitcoin or Lightning payment.
- Digital Store – Sale of digital files that customers can download to their computer.
- Accept donations directly on the website.
- Receive Bitcoin and Lightning donations.
