Get Started with Coinsnap Wallet

Download the Coinsnap Wallet

Coinsnap Wallet is available for:

• iPhone and iPad through the Apple App Store
• Android smartphones and tablets through Google Play
• Android devices as an APK

Also available: Android APK · iOS beta on TestFlight

Create Your First Wallet

After installing and opening Coinsnap Wallet, you will see two options:

Create New Wallet

Choose this if you are setting up Coinsnap Wallet for the first time.

I Already Have a Wallet

Choose this if you already have a Coinsnap Wallet and want to restore it.

If you are a new user, tap Create New Wallet.

Name Your Wallet

The next step is to give your wallet a name. Choose a name that makes the wallet easy to recognize. For example, you could use your first name for everyday payments, or names such as:

• Joe
• Shop
• Savings
• Event

The name is for your own organization. You can create up to five wallets in the Coinsnap app, so different wallets can be used for different purposes.

For this guide, we will call our first wallet Joe.

Your Wallet Home Screen

After creating your first wallet, Coinsnap opens the Wallet Home Screen. At the top, you can see the name of the currently selected wallet. In our example, this is Joe.

Every Coinsnap wallet can contain both:

Bitcoin

Your Bitcoin balance, displayed in sats or your preferred display format.

Digital Dollars

Your USD balance held as supported USD stablecoins.

Use the Bitcoin / USD selector to switch between the two balances. The main wallet functions are:

• Send — send Bitcoin or Digital Dollars.
• Convert — convert between Bitcoin and Digital Dollars.
• Receive — receive Bitcoin or Digital Dollars.

Your most recent transaction is displayed directly on the Wallet Home Screen. Select View All to see your transaction history. The QR button at the bottom can be used to scan a payment QR code.

Create and Manage Up to Five Wallets

Coinsnap Wallet lets you create up to five separate wallets in the same app. Each wallet can have its own:

• name
• Lightning Address
• Bitcoin balance
• Digital Dollar balance
• Stable Balance setting

This allows you to separate funds for different purposes. For example:

Joe

everyday payments

Shop

customer payments

Savings

Bitcoin you want to keep

Event

payments received at an event

These are only examples. You decide how to organize your wallets.

Switch between wallets

Tap the wallet name at the top of the Wallet Home Screen to open Your wallets. The wallet overview shows your combined Bitcoin and Digital Dollar balances as well as your individual wallets.

Add another wallet

Select Manage wallets, or open Settings → Wallets → Add wallet. The app shows how many of your five wallet slots are still available.

Manage an Individual Wallet

Each wallet has its own settings. Open Manage wallets and select the wallet you want to manage.

Wallet name

Change the name used to identify the wallet inside the app.

Lightning Address

Each wallet has its own Lightning Address. You can:

• display its QR code
• copy the address
• share the address
• change the Lightning Address

Stable Balance and Automatic Conversion

Stable Balance lets you decide what happens to new Bitcoin received by this particular wallet.

Auto-convert incoming Bitcoin disabled

Incoming Bitcoin remains Bitcoin.

Auto-convert incoming Bitcoin enabled

Newly received Bitcoin is automatically converted into Digital Dollars.

Bitcoin that you already hold remains unchanged.

The Stable Balance setting can be configured separately for each wallet. For example, one wallet can keep incoming payments in Bitcoin while another wallet automatically converts incoming payments into Digital Dollars.

Bitcoin and Digital Dollars

Every wallet in Coinsnap can contain both Bitcoin and Digital Dollars. You do not need separate apps or separate wallets for Bitcoin and USD. Both balances are available within the same wallet.

Convert Between Bitcoin and Digital Dollars

Select Convert from the Wallet Home Screen to convert between Bitcoin and Digital Dollars. You can convert:

• Bitcoin → Digital Dollars
• Digital Dollars → Bitcoin

This allows you to decide how much of your balance you want to hold in Bitcoin and how much you want to hold in USD.

For merchants, this can reduce exposure to Bitcoin price volatility. Customer payments can be received in Bitcoin and converted into Digital Dollars instead of remaining exposed to changes in the Bitcoin exchange rate.

Coinsnap also supports automatic conversion through the Stable Balance setting of an individual wallet.

Receive Bitcoin

Select Receive to receive Bitcoin. Coinsnap supports Bitcoin payments through different payment methods.

Lightning

Use your Lightning Address or QR code to receive Bitcoin quickly. You can also create a Lightning invoice for a specific amount and optionally add a note.

Bitcoin On-chain

Use your Bitcoin on-chain address when receiving Bitcoin through the Bitcoin blockchain. This can be useful when transferring Bitcoin from an exchange, hardware wallet or another Bitcoin wallet.

Spark

Coinsnap Wallet also supports Bitcoin payments through Spark.

Receive Digital Dollars

Coinsnap Wallet can receive supported USD stablecoins through Spark. Digital Dollars received by a wallet are shown under its USD balance.

Send Bitcoin or Digital Dollars

Select Send from the Wallet Home Screen to make a payment. You can enter or paste a payment address or scan a QR code.

Coinsnap automatically recognizes supported payment formats and routes the payment accordingly. Payments can be made from your Bitcoin balance or your Digital Dollar balance.

Back Up Your Wallet

Coinsnap Wallet is self-custodial. You control your wallet and your recovery phrase. Coinsnap does not hold your funds for you.

For this reason, backing up your wallet is essential. If your phone is lost, damaged or replaced, your backup allows you to restore access to your wallet.

Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase consists of 12 words. Write the words down in the correct order and store them somewhere safe.

Cloud Backup and Biometrics

Cloud Backup

Coinsnap Wallet also provides an encrypted Cloud Backup option on supported devices. Backup options can be found under Settings → Security.

Biometrics

On supported devices, biometric protection such as Face ID or fingerprint authentication can be enabled to protect access to the app.

Accept Bitcoin Payments with Coinsnap Point of Sale

Coinsnap Wallet includes an integrated Point of Sale for merchants. It can be used by:

• shops
• cafés
• restaurants
• service businesses
• market stalls
• events
• other physical sales locations

You do not need a separate Point of Sale app. Your smartphone, tablet or compatible POS device can become your Bitcoin payment terminal.

Accept a simple payment

Enter the amount at the Point of Sale and show the generated payment QR code to the customer. The customer scans the QR code and completes the payment.

Connect Your Coinsnap Merchant Account

Additional Point of Sale functions are available when the app is connected to a Coinsnap Merchant Account. Open Settings → Connections → Merchant Account and connect the app to your Coinsnap Merchant Account.

A Merchant Account enables you to manage your business environment, Point of Sale locations, terminals, orders and reporting.

If you already use Coinsnap for an online shop, payment links or other Coinsnap payment solutions, Coinsnap Wallet can also be used as a settlement destination for your Coinsnap payments.

Product Catalog

Create products with predefined names and prices for faster checkout. Instead of manually entering the amount for every sale, employees can select products from the catalog and add them to the customer's basket.

This is particularly useful for cafés, restaurants, shops and events.

Bitcoin Discounts

Coinsnap Point of Sale lets merchants offer customers a discount for paying with Bitcoin. Configure the Bitcoin discount for your Point of Sale. When applicable, the discount is included directly in the checkout process.

Tips

Coinsnap Point of Sale can allow customers to add a tip during checkout. Tip options can be configured for the Point of Sale and presented to the customer before payment.

Terminals and Employees

A Point of Sale can have multiple terminals. A terminal represents an individual checkout or payment location. Examples:

• Main Register
• Bar
• Entrance
• Merchandise
• Counter 1
• Counter 2

This allows payments and orders to be assigned to the correct terminal while the merchant maintains central control through the Coinsnap Merchant Account.

A smartphone, tablet or compatible POS device can be paired with a terminal and used by an employee to accept customer payments.

Transactions and Orders

Coinsnap keeps your payments and orders organized. The transaction overview lets you review wallet activity, while the merchant tools provide information about Point of Sale orders and customer payments.

For individual transactions, detailed payment information can be reviewed where available.

Fees

Bitcoin payments can involve network fees, which depend on the payment method and on current network conditions — for example, on-chain transactions require a Bitcoin network fee.
