Seamless Bitcoin Payments for Your Shopify Store

Enable frictionless, low-fee Bitcoin & Lightning payments in your Shopify checkout — no coding required.

With the Coinsnap for Shopify plugin, your store can accept Bitcoin Lightning (and on-chain Bitcoin) payments effortlessly. Install the app, link your Lightning wallet, and instantly open your checkout to the fast-growing crypto-consumer market. Zero charge-backs, lower transaction costs, and full control of your funds.

If you’re running a store on Shopify and looking to accept cryptocurrencies, the Coinsnap for Shopify plugin gives you a fast, reliable path. Without heavy technical work, you integrate Bitcoin payments — both via the Lightning Network and on-chain Bitcoin — into your checkout.

Here’s how it works: you open a Coinsnap merchant account (only email + Lightning wallet needed) and install the plugin/app from your Shopify dashboard. Connect your credentials, set your wallet address, customise payment method appearance, and go live. Once installed, your checkout will display “Bitcoin + Lightning” (or custom label) and your customers can pay via QR code or wallet link. After successful payment, the funds appear directly in your wallet and your Shopify order status updates accordingly.

Benefits at a glance:

  • Lower transaction fees compared to traditional card-payments

  • Near-instant settlements with Lightning

  • No charge-backs – once Bitcoin payment is completed it’s irreversible

  • Access to a growing crypto-savvy global audience

  • Maintain full control of your funds and settlement process

Use cases: digital goods, physical products, subscription services — essentially any offering in your Shopify store can now accept Bitcoin. The plugin doesn’t just add another payment option; it opens up a modern checkout alternative for your customers.
