Web-Point of Sale Keypad
Do you run a store, a restaurant or are you a craftsman and service provider and would like to accept Bitcoin Lightning payments from your customers? Then Coinsnap ‘s Web-Point of Sale solution is the ideal solution for you!
Just open your web-point of sale page on-site on the web browser of your smartphone, computer or tablet and enter the invoice amount via the keypad input field.
Then a QR code will appear, which your customer scans briefly with their Bitcoin Lighning app and then authorizes.
The invoice amount will be credited directly to your Bitcoin Lightning Wallet – or (if desired) deposited directly into your bank account in fiat currency such as euros, USD, GBP or CHF.
The Coinsnap Web-Point of Sale works as simply as this
In addition to the invoice amount, you can also enter an order number so that you can easily allocate the Bitcoin payment later in your accounting system. After you have entered the amount, click on Charge and a QR code will be displayed, which you can show to the payer so that they can make the payment with their Bitcoin Lightning Wallet.
If the payment was successful, you will receive a message and can hand over the paid goods to the customer. The Bitcoin revenue is immediately credited to your own Bitcoin Lightning Wallet and is immediately available to you. You can note in your POS system or on the invoice that the payment was made via Bitcoin Lightning.
All Bitcoin Lightning payments received via the web point of sale are saved in the Coinsnap backend and can be tracked via the transaction view. All payments can be filtered and downloaded as a CSV file to be used for accounting purposes, for example.
