Coinsnap: Bitcoin Lightning payment available for Contact Form 7!

Frankfurt/Main, August 4, 2024 – Contact Form 7, the most popular form generator in the WordPress world with over 10 million downloads, can now also be used for simple payment transactions in Bitcoin Lightning with Coinsnap.

The Bitcoin Lightning payment provider Coinsnap has released a free plugin that allows WordPress website operators to offer Bitcoin Lightning payments in their Contact Form 7 forms in just a few minutes. All they have to do is create an account with Coinsnap, enter their Lightning Wallet address and install the plugin. Apart from their email and Lightning Wallet address, no further details are required to receive Lightning credits in their own Lightning Wallet immediately.

Jens Leinert, Head of Business Development at Coinsnap, is convinced that WordPress website and blog operators can use Coinsnap for Content Form 7 to generate additional revenue in the growing Bitcoin-affine target groups: “With our plugin, influencers, blog operators and online experts of all kinds can, for example, accept donations for their videos or podcasts, offer fan merchandise such as coffee mugs or T-shirts for sale or offer personal online meetings for a participation fee.” And all this without having to integrate more complex technologies such as Woocommerce into their WordPress websites or apply for acceptance contracts with credit card or payment service providers such as Stripe or Paypal.

According to Leinert, there is currently no payment method that allows WordPress users to offer simple payment processes with Bitcoin Lightning in a simpler, less complicated and faster way than Coinsnap. “All our customers need is an email address to set up their Coinsnap account and install a Bitcoin lending wallet on their smartphone,” emphasizes Leinert. After that, all they have to do is download and install the Coinsnap for Contact Form 7 and enter some data from their account and wallet. “From then on, all proceeds are credited to your Bitcoin Lightning wallet in real time, guaranteed and irrevocable,” explains Leinert. Creating a form in Contact Form 7 to collect donations or sell a fan article, for example, is extremely simple and is explained directly in Contact Form 7 once the plugin has been installed. Sample code is also available there, which the Contact Form 7 user only has to copy into a new form and then adapt to their needs.

“Turning a form into a mini-shop is really child’s play and can be done in just a few minutes,” promises Leinert. The Coinsnap for Contact Form 7 can currently be downloaded from Github, a listing in the WordPress plugin directory will follow shortly. Coinsnap also supports WordPress operators with a demo page on which interested parties can carefully test Bitcoin Lightning Payment with Contact Form 7. There is also a detailed step-by-step guide for implementation.
