Coinsnap Comment Payments with Bitcoin

Gate Comments with Bitcoin Payments!

Monetise your blog’s comment section by requiring a small Bitcoin or Lightning Network micropayment before a comment is published. When a visitor submits a comment, a payment modal appears inline. Once payment is confirmed via webhook, the comment is automatically approved and appears on the post � no manual moderation needed.

Payment processing is handled securely via Coinsnap or your own BTCPay Server.

Requirements:

• A WordPress website (version 6.0 or higher)
• The Coinsnap Comment Payments with Bitcoin plugin
• A Coinsnap account or your own BTCPay Server

Key Features:

• Per-Post-Type Amounts � Set a different payment amount (in satoshis) for posts, pages, WooCommerce product reviews, and any custom post type.
• Two Payment Providers � Use Coinsnap (no server required) or self-hosted BTCPay Server.
• Inline Payment Modal � The Coinsnap checkout appears directly on the page; no redirect, no friction.
• Real-time Status Polling � The modal polls the payment status and publishes the comment automatically on confirmation.
• Webhook Verification � Incoming webhook payloads are verified with HMAC signature checking.
• Admin & Author Notifications � Receive email confirmation the moment a comment payment settles. Optionally notify the comment author too.
• Honeypot Anti-spam � A hidden field silently blocks bots before any payment logic runs.
• Rate Limiting � Configurable per-IP rate limit prevents abuse.
• Credential Sharing � Automatically inherits API keys from other installed Coinsnap plugins (WooCommerce, Booking Form, Donation, Invoice Form) so you never configure the same credentials twice.
• Modern Admin UI � Card-based settings page with connection status badge, provider toggle, and BTCPay setup wizard.

Two Operating Modes:

• Coinsnap � Sign up at app.coinsnap.io, get your Store ID and API Key, and you’re ready. No server required.
• BTCPay Server � Connect to your own BTCPay Server using the one-click API Key generation wizard.
