Paid Memberships Pro
ACCEPT BITCOIN & LIGHTNING PAYMENTS WITH PAID MEMBERSHIPS PRO
Add Bitcoin & Lightning payments to Paid Memberships Pro memberships and recurring plans.
Running a Paid Memberships Pro site and want to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments? With Coinsnap’s Bitcoin payment plugin for Paid Memberships Pro, you can enable Bitcoin payments (on-chain + Lightning) for membership levels, subscriptions, and recurring plans in just a few minutes.
With Coinsnap payment modules and plugins, you always retain full control: connect the plugin either to your own BTCPay Server or to your Coinsnap account, and all Bitcoin payments are sent directly from your members’ wallets to your own Lightning or on-chain wallet. If you prefer not to handle Bitcoin, you can configure your Coinsnap account so that all proceeds are automatically settled in euros to your bank account.
Of course, you can customize your Bitcoin checkout: define the payment method name, upload your own icon or logo, set the display texts during the signup and checkout process, and choose the redirect destination after a successful membership payment.
You can also offer a Bitcoin discount to promote Bitcoin-based memberships—members who choose Bitcoin during checkout receive a predefined percentage or fixed discount on their membership fee.
Offer your members a modern, global signup experience while receiving payments instantly and securely—reduce chargebacks, simplify international billing, and differentiate your membership business with Bitcoin and Lightning payments.
ACCEPT BITCOIN IN PMPRO – THE SOLUTION FOR MANY USE CASES
WHO IS THIS PLUGIN FOR?
Paid Memberships Pro is purpose-built for selling memberships and subscriptions on WordPress and is widely used for recurring plans, restricted content, member-only downloads, online courses, and community access. It provides a complete membership and checkout flow, including membership level management, recurring billing, member accounts, and extensible payment gateway integrations.
Paid Memberships Pro supports payments via native gateways such as Stripe and PayPal, as well as additional gateways through extensions. However, Paid Memberships Pro does not include native support for Bitcoin or Lightning payments. Site owners who want to accept decentralized, low-fee, and irreversible payments therefore need an additional payment solution to extend PMPro beyond traditional card-based payment rails.
With Coinsnap’s Bitcoin Payment for Paid Memberships Pro plugin, Bitcoin payments (on-chain and Lightning) can be added directly to the PMPro membership checkout—fully integrated into the existing signup and payment flow and without requiring any coding.
Coinsnap can be used alongside existing payment providers such as Stripe or as a standalone payment option, enabling new use cases and providing an independent, low-cost Bitcoin payment alternative for memberships, subscriptions, recurring plans, and other PMPro-based business models.
Bitcoin payments for PMPro — monetize membership business models
By combining Paid Memberships Pro with Coinsnap’s Bitcoin Payment plugin, you extend a purpose-built membership and subscription platform with Bitcoin payments (on-chain + Lightning)—enabling business models that go beyond traditional card-based payments or PayPal.
With Coinsnap’s Bitcoin Payment for Paid Memberships Pro, site owners can unlock revenue streams that are difficult or impractical to realize with standard payment providers such as Stripe or PayPal, especially where fees, minimum charges, rolling reserves, or chargeback risks limit flexibility.
By enabling Bitcoin payments (on-chain + Lightning) directly in the Paid Memberships Pro signup and checkout flow, businesses can efficiently accept recurring payments, offer low-priced memberships, enable micro-subscriptions, sell time-based or access-based memberships, collect donations or tips, and monetize niche communities or content—while benefiting from instant settlement and low transaction costs.
This turns Paid Memberships Pro into a flexible, cost-efficient payment platform for Bitcoin-based membership and subscription models, while maintaining full control over checkout, payouts, and payment flows.
Add Bitcoin payments to your PMPro site to:
- Sell memberships and recurring subscriptions with Bitcoin
Accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments for membership levels, recurring plans, and time-based access directly in the PMPro signup and checkout flow. - Monetize restricted content and member-only access

Use PMPro membership levels to accept recurring or one-time supporter contributions in sats. - Bundle access, content, and benefits into membership tiers

Why Bitcoin payments for PMPro make sense
Bitcoin payments for Paid Memberships Pro—via on-chain and Lightning—enable membership and subscription business models that are often impractical with traditional payment providers.
Lightning’s low transaction fees make low-priced memberships and micro-subscriptions economically viable, allowing you to sell short-term access, recurring plans, supporter memberships, and gated content without the minimum fees, chargeback risk, or settlement delays typical of card-based payments.
With Coinsnap, you can add Bitcoin payments alongside—or independently from—existing gateways such as Stripe or PayPal, retain full control over settlement and payouts, and extend your Paid Memberships Pro site with a modern, global payment option built for recurring access and digital communities.
