IMPORTANT NOTE
Coinsnap for WPForms only works with the WPForms Pro version. So please make sure to update your WPForms to WPForms Pro before you install Coinsnap for WPForms!
You can easily find the Coinsnap for WPForms plugin under Plugins / Add Plugin [1] if you enter “Coinsnap for WPForms” in the search field [2]. Then simply click on Install now in the Coinsnap for WPForms 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.
