Bitcoin Payment Extension for OpenCart
Add Bitcoin payments to your OpenCart checkout using a native extension
The Coinsnap Bitcoin payment extension for OpenCart enables you to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments directly in your checkout. The extension installs via OpenCart’s extension system and works within your existing shop setup—without modifying core files or disrupting your store.
Running a Opencart shop and want to offer Bitcoin and Lightning payments? The Bitcoin payment for Opencart module makes it effortless: With our Opencart module, you can accept Bitcoin payments (On-chain + Lightning) in just a few minutes.
With Coinsnap payment modules and plugins, you always retain full control: connect them to your BTCPay Server or to your Coinsnap account, and all Bitcoin payments are sent directly from your customers’ wallets to your own Lightning or on-chain wallet. If you prefer not to deal with Bitcoin, you can easily configure your Coinsnap account so that all proceeds are automatically deposited in euros into your bank account.
Of course, you can fully customize your Bitcoin checkout by choosing the payment method name, uploading your own icon or logo, defining the display texts at each step of the checkout, and setting the redirect destination after a successful payment.
You can even set a Bitcoin discount to promote Bitcoin payments: when customers choose Bitcoin at checkout, their cart total is reduced by the predefined percentage or fixed amount.
Offer your customers a modern, borderless checkout experience, while you receive funds directly, instantly and securely – stand out from the competition, reduce charge-backs, and tap into the growing crypto-consumer market!
