1. the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin from the WordPress directory.<\/h4>\n\n

The Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin can be searched and installed in the WordPress plugin directory.<\/p>\n\n

You can easily find the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin under Plugins\/Install new plugin<\/strong> if you enter Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting in the search field. Simply click on Install now<\/strong> in the Coinsnap plugin and WordPress will install it for you.<\/p>\n\n

Now WordPress will offer you to Activate<\/strong> the plugin \u2013 click the button and you are set to go!<\/p>\n\n

Next, you will connect the plugin with your Coinsnap account.<\/p>\n\n

1.1. Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting Settings<\/h4>\n\n

After you have installed and activated the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin, you need to configure the Coinsnap settings. Go to Bitcoin Voting -> Settings<\/strong> [1] in the black sidebar on the left.<\/p>\n\n

Now choose your payment gateway Coinsnap<\/strong> [1]. (You can also choose BTCPay server if you are using one, and then fill in the respective information.)\nThen you\u2019ll have to enter your Coinsnap Store ID<\/strong> and your Coinsnap API Key<\/strong>. [2] (See below to learn how to retrieve these from your Coinsnap account.)<\/p>\n\n

As soon as you\u2019ve pasted the Store ID and the API Key into their fields, click on check<\/strong>. If you see a green message next to it saying Connection successful<\/strong>, your plugin is ready to accept Bitcoin votes and credit them to your Lightning wallet.<\/p>\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to klick on Save changes<\/strong> before you start configuring your poll(s)!<\/p>\n\n

1.2. Enter Store ID and API Key in your Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting Settings<\/h4>\n\n

Go to the Settings<\/strong> menu item in your Coinsnap merchant admin backend (https:\/\/app.coinsnap.io\/login<\/a>). Then click on Store<\/strong> and you will see your Coinsnap Store ID<\/strong> and the Coinsnap API Key<\/strong> in the Store section.<\/p>\n\n

Copy<\/strong> these two strings and paste them into the matching fields in the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting settings<\/strong> in your WordPress backend.<\/p>\n\n

Click on the \u201cSave changes<\/strong>\u201d button at the bottom of the page to apply and save the settings. You are ready to start selling for Bitcoin now: Just create a donation form and place it via the shortcode on your website.<\/p>\n\n

YOU ARE SET TO SELL FOR BITCOIN NOW! To be sure all works fine, you should now...<\/h4>\n\n

1.3. Test the payment method in a Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting poll on your website<\/h4>\n\n

After all settings have been made, a test transaction should be carried out.<\/p>\n\n

Choose any option in your poll. If your poll is not set to gather voter information, a QR code will appear. If you do gather information, you need to fill out the information you require to vote.<\/p>\n\n

You now have to pay your voting \u201cfee\u201d by scanning the displayed QR code and authorizing the payment with your Lightning wallet. After successful payment, you will see a confirmation.<\/p>\n\n

2. Install the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin from our Github page<\/h4>\n\n

If you don\u2019t want to install the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin directly from your WordPress backend, download the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin from the Coinsnap Github page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Find the green button labeled Code<\/strong> on the top right. When you click on it, the menu opens and Download ZIP<\/strong> appears in the dropdown menu. By clicking on it you will download the latest version of the Coinsnap plugin to your computer.<\/p>\n\n

Then use the \u201cUpload plugin<\/strong>\u201d function in WordPress to install it. Click on \u201cInstall now<\/strong>\u201d and the Coinsnap Bitcoin Voting plugin will be added to your WordPress website. It can then be connected to the Coinsnap payment gateway (as explained above).<\/p>\n\n

From here on you can follow 1.1 to 1.3 and you will be set to sell for Bitcoin in no time at all!<\/p>\n\n\n
