Wherever bank transfers were previously used, a Bitcoin Payment Link can significantly simplify the payment process &#8211; for both payers and payees. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"980\">A Bitcoin payment link is a payment link that the recipient of a payment sends to someone from whom they are expecting a payment. The basic idea is simple: instead of bank details, payment reference and manual transfer, the payer receives a single link that they can use to settle the invoice directly &#8211; in this case with Bitcoin. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"1342\">All information relevant to the payment is already stored in this payment link. This includes the invoice number, a customer or reference number, the amount to be paid, the currency used and &#8211; if necessary &#8211; additional information about the payment. The link thus replaces the classic payment instruction on an invoice.  <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769257715009{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #6193C9 !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What is a Bitcoin Payment Link?<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A Bitcoin payment link is an individual payment link that the recipient of a payment creates and forwards to the payer. The link contains all the information required for the payment, for example:[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769257752675{margin-left: 50px !important;}&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1564\" data-end=\"1595\">\n<p data-start=\"1566\" data-end=\"1595\">Invoice number or reference<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"1626\">\n<p data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1626\">Customer name or customer number<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1656\">\n<p data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1656\">Invoice amount and currency<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1688\">\n<p data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1688\">Optional additional information<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Example of a payment link:[\/vc_column_text][vc_message css=&#8221;&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/pay-link.coinsnap.io\/payment-requests\/3Lhow7pLcPjYzV5XjZFiPuDdLBFr?type=individual\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/pay-link.coinsnap.io\/payment-requests\/3Lhow7pLcPjYzV5XjZFiPuDdLBFr?type=individual<\/a>[\/vc_message][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<p data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1904\">The Bitcoin Payment Link is unique and only ever valid for a single payment transaction. It cannot be used more than once or by different payers. This means that each payment can be clearly assigned.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"2067\">The payment link can be integrated directly into an invoice, sent by e-mail, made available on a website or sent via messenger services.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769257789960{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #6193C9 !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How a Bitcoin Payment Link works in practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<p data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1816\">The payee creates the payment link and integrates it into the existing communication. It can be placed directly on the invoice, sent by e-mail, integrated on a website or passed on via messenger services. Each payment link is unique and intended exclusively for a specific payment transaction. Multiple use for different payers is not possible.   <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"2103\">When the payer opens the link, they are taken to a separate payment page. All relevant billing data is clearly displayed there once again. If they decide to pay, Bitcoin is available as a payment method for a Bitcoin payment link.  <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;23408&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/pay-link.coinsnap.io\/payment-requests\/3Lhow7pLcPjYzV5XjZFiPuDdLBFr?type=individual&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769257834430{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #6193C9 !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dynamic price calculation for Bitcoin payments<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<p data-start=\"2603\" data-end=\"2788\">A key advantage of the Bitcoin Payment Link is the dynamic conversion. <strong data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2743\">The Bitcoin exchange rate at the time of payment<\/strong> is decisive, not the rate at the time of invoicing. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2790\" data-end=\"2961\">For example, if the Bitcoin price (as of January 24, 2026) is around \u20ac75,665, an invoice for \u20ac50 corresponds to an amount of around 66,081 sats or 0.00066081 BTC.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2963\" data-end=\"3273\">This mechanism was chosen deliberately. If the Bitcoin amount was already fixed when the invoice was issued, this would create an incentive for tactical behavior: The payer would only pay with Bitcoin if the price has fallen since then and would prefer to switch to a fiat payment if the price rises. For the payee, on the other hand, the opposite would be attractive.<br data-start=\"3013\" data-end=\"3016\">As there is often a time lag between invoicing and payment in practice, this volatility risk is circumvented by not fixing the Bitcoin amount until the moment of payment.  <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769257889235{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #6193C9 !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Complete payment with the Bitcoin Payment Link<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<p data-start=\"3328\" data-end=\"3496\">After confirmation, the Bitcoin amount to be paid is displayed to the payer as a QR code. This can be paid with any standard Bitcoin or Lightning wallet. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3498\" data-end=\"3805\">After successful payment, the payer receives a confirmation. The payee is also informed automatically: The payment appears in the transaction overview and an e-mail notification is also sent. This means that receipt of payment is clearly documented and can be clearly assigned.  <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769257924081{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #6193C9 !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Create Bitcoin payment link with Coinsnap<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\n<p data-start=\"3855\" data-end=\"4024\">To create Bitcoin payment links yourself, you need a Coinsnap account.

For internal purposes, there is a separate field for internal notes that is only visible to you. Optionally, you can also grant a <strong>Bitcoin discount<\/strong>, for example 5%, if the invoice is paid with Bitcoin.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4776\" data-end=\"4948\">In addition, an e-mail address of the payer can be stored and a redirect URL defined to which the payer is redirected after successful payment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4950\" data-end=\"5182\">This manual creation is particularly suitable if a customer explicitly expresses the wish to pay an invoice with Bitcoin. However, this method would be too time-consuming for larger invoice volumes or regular billing. <\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1769258004465{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #6193C9 !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Automation of Bitcoin payment links<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The manual creation of a Bitcoin payment link is particularly suitable if a customer specifically asks for a Bitcoin payment.
