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

Use Cases

Coinsnap for GiveWP is ideal for:

  • Nonprofits & NGOs

  • Environmental and social causes

  • Religious organizations

  • Political organizations (where legal)

  • Podcasters, creators, artists

  • Fundraising campaigns

  • Community projects

  • Charities and humanitarian groups

  • Software foundations and open-source contributors

Bitcoin and Lightning payments give donors a frictionless, borderless way to support your work.

Why It Matters

Unlike traditional donation gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.), Bitcoin provides:

  • No chargebacks

  • Lower fees

  • Global access

  • Instant settlement

  • Censorship resistance

For nonprofits, this means more of the donation goes to the actual cause — not to financial intermediaries.

Coinsnap takes this one step further by offering a simple setup, free integration, and full control over your funds.
