Enable your visitors to make purchases with Bitcoin in Gravity Forms, support you with donations, pay for downloads or book events or meetings.
With the Coinsnap Bitcoin payment plugin for Gravity Forms you only need a Lightning wallet with a Lightning address, a Coinsnap account, and a minute to set up Gravity Forms to accept Bitcoin Lightning payments on your WordPress website.
With this plugin you can then offer Bitcoin transactions of all kinds directly within forms you create with Gravity Forms – you need no shop system, no other payment provider or anything else to sell, i.e. merchandise, content, bookings or reservations and even receive donations.
Coinsnap’s Bitcoin payment plugin for Gravity Forms makes it amazingly simple for your customers to purchase your offerings with Bitcoin-Lightning: They can make their transactions with just a scan of the QR code generated by the Coinsnap plugin for Gravity Forms, and their authorization of the payment. When authorized, the payment will be credited directly and immediately to your Lightning wallet.
