## Description

**Enable your customers to purchase your Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) offerings 
with Bitcoin/Satoshis.**

With the Coinsnap for Easy Digital Downloads payment add-on you only need a Lightning
wallet with a Lightning address, a Coinsnap account, and a minute to connect the
add-on with EDD and either your Coinsnap account or your BTCPay Server to accept
Bitcoin Lightning payments on your WordPress website.

With this plugin you can then offer Bitcoin transactions of all kinds directly within
products you create with EDD – you need no shop system, no other payment provider
or anything else to sell e.g. downloads (videos, audio, software, other files), 
physical products, licenses, memberships, subscriptions etc.

Coinsnap’s Bitcoin payment add-on for Easy Digital Downloads 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
add-on, and their authorization of the payment. When authorized, the payment will
be credited directly and immediately to your Lightning wallet.

#### Accept Bitcoin payments with Easy Digital Downloads in only 3 steps:
