Add Bitcoin and Lightning payments to Easy Digital Downloads

Coinsnap for Easy Digital Downloads adds Bitcoin as a payment option directly to the Easy Digital Downloads checkout.

Customers can pay with Bitcoin via Lightning or on-chain for ebooks, software, media files, templates, access rights, memberships, subscriptions, software licenses, bundles and other digital products.

Coinsnap can be used alongside existing EDD gateways such as Stripe or PayPal, or as a standalone Bitcoin payment option.

Coinsnap is Bitcoin payment software for merchants and a brand of Onlineshop24 d.o.o., Serbia.

Coinsnap or BTCPay Server

The add-on supports:

Coinsnap — accept Bitcoin without operating your own Bitcoin or Lightning payment infrastructure.
BTCPay Server — connect your own self-hosted BTCPay Server.

Easy Digital Downloads integration

Coinsnap integrates directly into the Easy Digital Downloads checkout.

EDD continues to handle product management, customers, orders, downloads, licenses, memberships, subscriptions and bundles while Coinsnap handles the Bitcoin payment.

Bitcoin discount

The current Coinsnap Easy Digital Downloads product supports an optional Bitcoin discount.

A fixed or percentage-based discount can be applied at checkout to encourage customers to choose Bitcoin.

Micropayments and digital commerce

Lightning makes small-value digital sales practical.

This is useful for low-priced downloads, pay-per-download products, access keys, small donations, low-value software, pay-per-access content and other micropayment-based digital products.

Payment status mapping

Coinsnap uses the payment states:

Expired
Processing
Settled

These can be mapped to the corresponding Easy Digital Downloads payment/order statuses.

Checkout customization

The Bitcoin payment option can be adapted to the EDD checkout.

Current product documentation describes customization for the payment-method name, icon/logo, checkout text and success redirect.

Settlement

With Coinsnap, payments can be settled to a compatible Bitcoin or Lightning wallet.

One option is the Coinsnap Wallet.

Coinsnap follows a non-custodial / self-custody approach and does not hold merchant Bitcoin.

Depending on the merchant setup and supported partner integrations, Bitcoin payments can also be automatically converted and settled to a bank account.

Fees

Coinsnap charges a 1% transaction fee. The fee is handled separately through the merchant’s Coinsnap balance and is not deducted from the Bitcoin payment.
