About Bitcoin payment for Easy Digital Downlo…
From the official readme · v1.3.5Description
Enable your customers to purchase your Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) offerings with Bitcoin/Satoshis.
With the Coinsnap for Easy Digital Downloads payment add-on you only need a Lightning wallet with a Lightning address, a Coinsnap account, and a minute to connect the add-on with EDD and either your Coinsnap account or your BTCPay Server to accept Bitcoin Lightning payments on your WordPress website.
With this plugin you can then offer Bitcoin transactions of all kinds directly within products you create with EDD – you need no shop system, no other payment provider or anything else to sell e.g. downloads (videos, audio, software, other files), physical products, licenses, memberships, subscriptions etc.
