Add Bitcoin and Lightning payments to Ninja Forms
Coinsnap for Ninja Forms adds Bitcoin as a payment option to Ninja Forms.
Use existing Ninja Forms as lightweight Bitcoin checkout experiences for products, donations, bookings, registrations, newsletter sign-ups, CRM lead generation, file uploads, support requests and other paid interactions — without WooCommerce or another shop system.
Payments can be made with Bitcoin via Lightning or on-chain using Coinsnap or your own BTCPay Server.

Coinsnap payment action
Coinsnap integrates through the Coinsnap action in Ninja Forms Emails & Actions.
The action can use either:
- a fixed payment amount, or
- a Ninja Forms Total field.
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.
Bitcoin discount
The current Coinsnap Ninja Forms product supports an optional Bitcoin discount.
A fixed or percentage-based discount can be used to encourage visitors to choose Bitcoin.
Micropayments and anti-spam
Lightning makes small payments practical.
This enables paid newsletter sign-ups, registrations, qualified CRM leads, file-upload fees, premium support requests and small anti-spam charges.
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.
