Coinsnap for Gravity Forms Installation Guide
If you use Gravity Forms, integrating Bitcoin-Lightning payments is easy with the Coinsnap for Gravity Forms plugin.
Simply install the plugin, link it to your Coinsnap account and your customers can pay with Bitcoin and Lightning.
All incoming Bitcoin transactions are immediately forwarded to your Lightning Wallet and credited.
You can easily find the Coinsnap for Gravity Forms plugin under Plugins / Add Plugin [1] if you enter “Coinsnap for Gravity Forms” in the search field [2]. Then simply click on Install now in the Coinsnap for Gravity Forms plugin [3] and WordPress will install it for you. You then need to activate the plugin by clicking on Activate.
In the next step you will have to connect the plugin to your Coinsnap account and your Bitcoin-Lightning wallet and you’ll be set to start selling, receiving donations, charging for downloads right from within your forms! We will show you how to do this a bit further below.

In the next paragraph we show you how to find your Coinsnap Store ID and your Coinsnap API Key:
Coinsnap Store Settings
In the Coinsnap backend, go to the Settings menu item, then click on Store in the blue field. There you will find the Coinsnap Store ID [1] and the Coinsnap API Key [2]. Copy these one after the other into the corresponding fields in the Coinsnap settings (see above). Then click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page to apply and save the settings.
Once you have entered and saved the Coinsnap data in the Gravity Forms Coinsnap settings, you are set to receive Bitcoin transactions from your customers’ wallet to your wallet. Now just one last step remains and you can sell for Bitcoin!
Create a form with Bitcoin-Lightning payment in Gravity Forms
Step 1: Create a payment form
First set up a form (i.e. a Bitcoin donation form) in Gravity forms. As soon as you are done, click on Settings on the top and choose Coinsnap.
Step 2: Add the Coinsnap payment gateway to your form
After you clicked on Coinsnap [1], you now have to add a Coinsnap feed to your form, simply by clicking on add new [2].
You will then see another window where you should click on Save Settings at the bottom [3].
Step 3: Start receiving Bitcoin in your new donation form
If you now open the forms overview in Gravity Forms, you will notice that your plugin Donation Form Setup is now active – meaning that Bitcoin payment now works in the plugin.
Now, in the form you want to use on your website, click on </> Embed on the top right of your form [1].
Next, either copy the Form ID [2] or the shortcode [3] and place it at the appropriate place of your website.
And your visitors can now donate sats to your cause!
Test the payment in a Gravity Forms form
After all settings have been made, a test transaction should be carried out.
Fill out a Gravity Form you have just created and click on the blue button, starting the Bitcoin payment.
You will now be redirected to the Bitcoin payment page to complete the purchase.
The Bitcoin payment page is now displayed and offers the payer the option of paying with Bitcoin or Lightning.
Both methods are integrated in the displayed QR code.
After successful payment, the invoice can be viewed in detail.
