You can pass on the Lightning address and the payer can specify the amount to be sent to this Lightning address. If you now have Lightning, you can also use it to pay. You click on Pay in the WoS and then have the option of scanning a QR code to make a payment. To do this, we go to the demo page, where a single newspaper article worth a few cents is paid for.
