Web-Point-of-Sale Keypad
To facilitate technical integration, we provide payment plugins for online stores and internet services. Payment plugins are ready-made payment modules that establish a connection between the online store or website and Coinsnap.
Do you run a store, a restaurant or are you a craftsman and service provider and would like to accept Bitcoin Lightning payments from your customers? Then Coinsnap’s Web Point of Sale solution is the ideal solution for you. You open your Web Point of Sale page via the web browser of your smartphone, computer or tablet and can enter the invoice amount via the keypad input field. A QR code then appears, which your customer scans briefly with their bitcoin lending app and then releases. The invoice amount will then be credited to your Bitcoin Lightning Wallet – or (if desired) deposited directly into your bank account in fiat currency such as euros, USD, GBP or CHF.
The Coinsnap Web Point of Sale solution is so easy to use
In addition to the invoice amount, you can also enter an order number so that you can easily allocate the Bitcoin payment later in your accounting system. After you have entered the amount, click on Charge and a QR code will be displayed, which you can show to the payer so that they can make the payment with their Bitcoin Lightning Wallet. If the payment was successful, you will receive a message and can hand over the paid goods to the customer. The Bitcoin revenue is immediately credited to your own Bitcoin Lightning Wallet and is immediately available to you. You can note in your POS system or on the invoice that the payment was made via Bitcoin Lightning. All Bitcoin Lightning payments received via the web point of sale are saved in the Coinsnap backend and can be tracked via the transaction view. All payments can be filtered and downloaded as a CSV file to be used for accounting purposes, for example.
Create Web Point-of-Sale
To be able to use the Web Point of Sale for your business, you need a Coinsnap account. After you have logged in to the Coinsnap backend, you will find the menu item Payment tools in the left menu bar and there the item Web Point of Sale (Web PoS).
Click on Create New PoS to create a new Web Point of Sale. Then enter the name of your store in the PoS Name field and in the PoS Title line you can specify what your store offers. In the Currency field, select the currency that will be used for payment in your store.
Then click on Create PoS. This view appears:
Copy Link gives you the URL that you can access with any internet-enabled device. This url can also be passed on to employees so that they can access the page with their own end devices. Only payments can be received via this Web-PoS url. The credit to the Bitcoin Lightning Wallet is made to the wallet deposited with Coinsnap. Business owners who want to accept Bitcoin Lightning payments like to use their own Bitcoin Lightning wallet on their smartphone. The disadvantage of this solution is that no employees can accept payments if the business owner is not on site. It is also difficult to separate business transactions from private Bitcoin Lightning payments.
