ACCEPT BITCOIN & LIGHTNING PAYMENTS FOR INVOICES, SERVICES, AND ONE-OFF CHARGES

Offer your customers a browser-based Bitcoin & Lightning checkout via a single secure link.

Are your customers or clients increasingly asking whether they can pay with Bitcoin or Lightning?

With the Coinsnap Bitcoin Payment Link, you can offer them a simple, professional way to do exactly that — without a shop system, checkout, or website.

After logging into your Coinsnap merchant account, you create a secure payment link by defining the invoice number, recipient, amount, and currency. Optionally, you can add an expiration date, description, internal note, customer email field, redirect URL after payment, or even enable a Bitcoin discount. All invoice details are pre-filled by the issuer. Once generated, the link leads to a hosted, browser-based payment page where your customer can pay instantly via Lightning or on-chain Bitcoin—without filling out any form fields.

You can also upload invoice data for multiple invoices via CSV. Coinsnap automatically generates an individual Bitcoin Payment Link for each uploaded invoice, with all details correctly prefilled. You can then copy each link directly from your Coinsnap dashboard and send it to customers or clients via email, invoice, or message.

The Bitcoin Payment Link is fully platform-independent. It opens a Coinsnap-hosted payment interface that works in any modern browser and can be shared via email, messenger, PDF invoices, websites, or CRM systems. Beyond entering the invoice details, no installation or setup is required on either side.

All payments use real-time exchange-rate conversion. You set prices in fiat (e.g., EUR or USD), and the Bitcoin amount is calculated at the moment of payment — reducing exposure to volatility. Coinsnap does not custody funds: payments are forwarded directly to your Lightning wallet, on-chain Bitcoin address, connected BTCPay Server, or automatically settled in fiat via Coinsnap’s payout partners Bringin or DFX.

The Bitcoin Payment Link is designed for remote and service-based payments — ideal for freelancers, consultants, agencies, service providers, contractors and any other businesses that need a fast, flexible way to request Bitcoin payments without operating an online store.
