If you sell goods and services on the internet, this is usually done with the help of a shop software, such as WooCommerce. Payment modules for payment processing are then integrated into this shop software. For the payment processing via Bitcoin and Lightning you can use a payment module and with the help of your own BTCPay server or BTCPay shop you can do the payment processing yourself.
There are also application examples, such as accepting donations, web-based Bitcoin POS terminal or payment button, which can be inserted as HTML text into any website. So you can receive Bitcoin and Lightning payments even without a shop software with a BTCPay server or BTCPay shop alone.

This internal wallet is used when manual credit memos (refunds) are to be made to the end customers.
This transaction must be confirmed and signed by the trader on his hardware wallet.
The internal wallet is not a hot wallet and private key is secured on the hardware wallet at the retailer.
