Coinsnap for Paid Memberships Pro allows you to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments for subscriptions, membership levels, and premium content — without needing any payment gateways, merchant accounts, or third-party processors.

The integration works by adding a Bitcoin / Lightning payment option directly inside the PMP checkout page. When a user selects a membership level, PMP processes the membership info, then automatically redirects the member to a Coinsnap payment page to complete the Bitcoin or Lightning transaction.

Coinsnap generates a secure invoice, displays a QR code or Lightning payment request, detects the payment, and sends the funds directly to your wallet. Once payment is confirmed, PMP activates the membership instantly.

  • Premium content sites

  • Course platforms

Membership renewal workflow

Recurring membership cycles work like this:

  1. PMP notifies the member that their renewal is due

  2. A secure Bitcoin payment link is generated

  3. Member pays via Lightning or Bitcoin

  4. Coinsnap confirms the payment

  5. PMP reactivates the membership

This keeps everything decentralized and user-controlled.

Coinsnap provides a modern, secure alternative to traditional subscription billing and eliminates gateway complexity entirely.
