## Description

#### Accept Bitcoin payments with Coinsnap for GiveWP!

Enable your visitors to make donations or contribute to your fundraisers with Bitcoin
in GiveWP, supporting your donation requests or fundraising offerings.

With the Coinsnap Bitcoin payment plugin for GiveWP you only need a Lightning wallet
with a Lightning address, a Coinsnap account, and a minute to set up GiveWP to accept
Bitcoin Lightning payments on your WordPress website.

With this plugin you can then accept Bitcoin donations or fundraising contributions
of all kinds directly within forms you create with GiveWP – you need no shop system,
no other payment provider or anything else to accept Bitcoin with GiveWP.

Coinsnap’s Bitcoin payment plugin for GiveWP makes it amazingly simple for your 
customers to donate or contribute with Bitcoin-Lightning: They can make their transactions
with just a scan of the QR code generated by the Coinsnap for GiveWP plugin, and
their authorization of the payment. When authorized, the payment will be credited
