About Coinsnap
Coinsnap provides Bitcoin (on-chain and Lightning) payment software for merchants: plugins for WooCommerce, Shopify and other shop systems, a web point of sale, payment links, invoices and a self-custodial wallet. The terms state payments go directly from the payer's wallet to a wallet the merchant controls and that Coinsnap never receives or holds the bitcoin; it charges a 1% fee against prepaid Coinsnap credit instead. Registration needs only an email address with a one-time code. Coinsnap says it does not require identification of the payer for standard payments; optional fiat conversion and bank payout run through third-party providers that apply their own KYC. The operator is Onlineshop24 DOO in Serbia.
