Bitcoin Crowdfunding
ACCEPT BITCOIN & LIGHTNING PAYMENTS WITH BITCOIN CROWDFUNDING PLUGIN
Collect Bitcoin from friends and acquaintances for private projects — no platforms, no intermediaries.
How can I raise Bitcoin funds from my personal circle on WordPress?
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Crowdfunding plugin allows WordPress website owners to create goal-based, time-limited crowdfunding pages for personal and shared purposes, accepting Bitcoin and Lightning payments directly from friends, family, or groups, with funds paid straight to the owner’s wallet or settled to a bank account.
Collect Bitcoin (On-chain + Lightning) directly on your WordPress website—designed for private, direct contributions.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Crowdfunding plugin, you can turn any WordPress page into a private Bitcoin funding page to collect money from friends, family, teammates, or your wider personal circle. Whether it’s a wedding gift, a birthday or jubilee, a shared trip, an event, or new jerseys for a kids’ football team, you can collect Bitcoin globally—without coding, intermediaries, or regional payment restrictions.
Create simple crowdfunding pages with fixed or flexible contribution amounts and let supporters contribute instantly using Bitcoin or Lightning. The plugin is designed for personal, informal funding purposes, where you want to collect money directly—without registering on third-party platforms or exposing sensitive personal or organizational details.
The plugin includes three practical templates:
- a simple funding button
- a multi-amount contribution form with predefined funding levels, and
- a message-enabled contribution form (shoutout) that allows supporters to leave a short note with their payment—ideal for group gifts or shared occasions.
You always remain in full control. Connect the plugin either to your own BTCPay Server or to your Coinsnap account, and all Bitcoin payments are sent directly from contributors’ wallets to your own Lightning or on-chain wallet. If you prefer not to hold Bitcoin, you can configure your Coinsnap account to automatically settle all proceeds in euros to your bank account.
You can customize the contribution experience by adjusting the checkout texts, defining the campaign run-time, setting the post-payment redirect, and optionally requesting additional information from contributors. This makes it easy to adapt each funding page to the specific occasion—personal, private, and purpose-driven.
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Crowdfunding plugin is ideal for website owners who want a simple, transparent way to raise money for personal causes, shared expenses, or community activities—without relying on credit cards, PayPal, or traditional banking systems. Contributors can pay instantly from anywhere in the world using Lightning for fast, low-fee payments or standard Bitcoin (on-chain) for maximum compatibility.
Bitcoin’s borderless nature makes it especially well suited for private crowdfunding: no chargebacks, no frozen accounts, no mandatory disclosures, and instant settlement directly to you.
With Coinsnap, setting up private Bitcoin crowdfunding on WordPress takes only a few clicks—simple, global, and fully under your control.

WHO IS THIS PLUGIN FOR?
The Coinsnap Bitcoin Crowdfunding plugin is designed for WordPress website owners who want to collect money for a specific personal or shared purpose, rather than running a full online shop or formal fundraising platform.
It is ideal for individuals, families, teams, or small groups who want to raise Bitcoin from their personal environment—friends, relatives, colleagues, or community members—for things like wedding gifts, birthdays or jubilees, shared trips, events, team equipment, or other private initiatives.
The plugin creates simple, goal-oriented crowdfunding forms with clear funding targets and contribution options, making it easy for supporters to understand what they are contributing to and how much is still needed. Contributions can be made instantly using Bitcoin or Lightning, from anywhere in the world.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Crowdfunding plugin, all funds are paid directly to you—either to your own Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin wallet, or settled in euros to your bank account via Coinsnap’s partners Bringin or DFX. This allows you to collect funds without intermediaries, recurring platform fees, or geographic limitations.
The plugin is especially well suited for informal, private funding scenarios where simplicity, transparency, and direct settlement matter more than complex e-commerce features or organizational structures. It offers a straightforward way to collect Bitcoin for personal projects and shared expenses using nothing more than a WordPress website.
