FAQ
What are the requirements for accepting Bitcoin in my WooCommerce shop?
In addition to your WooCommerce shop, you need a Coinsnap account and a Bitcoin Lightning Wallet. There are no further requirements.
Can I customise my Bitcoin Lightning Checkout?
Yes, you can determine the name of the payment method yourself and upload your own icon/logo. You can also formulate the display texts during the individual steps of the checkout yourself. You can also determine the destination of the redirect upon successful payment yourself.
Do I need technical knowledge for the installation?
You can set up the plugin yourself in just a few steps using our installation instructions. If you have any difficulties with the installation, you can also contact our free installation service.
How quickly are Bitcoin payments credited?
Your customers can pay with both Bitcoin Lightning and Bitcoin on-chain. Bitcoin Lightning payments are immediately available on your wallet. Bitcoin on-chain payments are credited as soon as the first confirmation is received in the blockchain.
Are my customer transactions stored by Coinsnap?
Coinsnap does not store any of its merchants’ Bitcoin. All of your customer’s Bitcoin payments are transferred directly from your customers’ wallet to the merchant wallet.
What fees are charged?
The transaction fee is only 1%*, significantly less than with credit cards or PayPal (* with referrer code).
Can I receive Bitcoin payments to my bank account?
Yes, you can select the payout method ‘by bank transfer’ and our partner DFX when registering your Coinsnap account. Your incoming payment will then be forwarded to the Swiss Bitcoin broker, who will pay out the amount in EUR to your bank account. You can find more information here.
Can customers make a chargeback?
Chargebacks of customer payments are not possible with Bitcoin payments. This means that every Bitcoin payment is secure and guaranteed for you as a merchant.
Which wallets can I use?

However, there are many other Bitcoin Lightning wallets that you can also use. You can find more information about Bitcoin Lightning wallets here!
