Accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments in WooCommerce
Coinsnap for WooCommerce is an open-source Bitcoin payment plugin that adds Bitcoin payments directly to the native WooCommerce checkout.
Customers can pay with Bitcoin via Lightning or on-chain while merchants keep their existing WooCommerce order, checkout, tax, shipping, coupon and fulfillment workflows.
When using Coinsnap, merchants do not need to operate their own Bitcoin or Lightning payment infrastructure. Coinsnap follows a non-custodial / self-custody model and does not hold merchant Bitcoin.
Coinsnap is Bitcoin payment software for merchants and a brand of Onlineshop24 d.o.o., Serbia .

Coinsnap or BTCPay Server
The plugin supports two payment-provider modes:
Coinsnap – for merchants who want to accept Bitcoin without running their own payment infrastructure.
BTCPay Server – for merchants who operate their own BTCPay Server and want to connect it to WooCommerce through the same plugin.
Bitcoin discount
Merchants can configure a fixed or percentage-based discount that applies when customers choose Bitcoin as their payment method.
This can be used to encourage Bitcoin payments directly at checkout.
Fees
Coinsnap charges a 1% transaction fee . The fee is charged separately against the merchant’s Coinsnap credit because Coinsnap does not deduct fees from the Bitcoin payment itself.
Settlement
Bitcoin payments can be settled to a compatible Bitcoin or Lightning wallet.
One option is the Coinsnap Wallet , which combines a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet with merchant and point-of-sale functionality.
Depending on the merchant setup and supported partner integrations, Bitcoin payments can also be converted and settled to a bank account.
