Bitcoin Donations for GiveWP Made Simple
Accept Bitcoin and Lightning donations directly in any GiveWP donation form using Coinsnap.
Coinsnap for GiveWP brings fast, global, and low-fee Bitcoin & Lightning donations to your WordPress website. GiveWP is the most popular donation platform for nonprofits, creators, activists, and community organizers — and Coinsnap enhances it by adding a decentralized, censorship-resistant donation method accessible to donors worldwide. Setup takes only minutes: install Coinsnap, enable GiveWP support, add the payment button via shortcode, and start receiving Bitcoin donations instantly. No complicated configuration, no third-party processors, and no high transaction fees.
Coinsnap for GiveWP adds a powerful new donation method to your fundraising efforts: Bitcoin and Lightning donations. With coinsnap.io, your donation workflow becomes global, faster, and more cost-efficient. Donors from any country can support your cause instantly using Bitcoin or Lightning — without credit card processing delays, geographic restrictions, or high banking fees.
How It Works
You install the Coinsnap plugin on your WordPress site and enable GiveWP integration. Then, in any donation form, you add the Coinsnap shortcode where you want the Bitcoin donation button to appear.
When a donor submits their form, GiveWP collects the donor’s information as usual.
Then, the donor is redirected to a secure Coinsnap payment page containing:
-
A Lightning QR code
-
A Bitcoin address
-
Amount details
-
Real-time payment status
Once the donor completes the payment, Coinsnap verifies it, sends funds directly to your Lightning wallet, and GiveWP marks the donation as complete. All donor records remain stored inside GiveWP.
This integration is perfect for organizations that rely on international supporters, as Bitcoin donations:
-
do not require banks
-
avoid credit card restrictions
-
work in places where traditional payment platforms are blocked
-
enable micro-donations with minimal fees
