This post is about how Lightning payments appear on the customer’s checkout page. It describes how a Lightning payment via BTCPay works from a merchant’s perspective and how the payment data is presented at Ride the Lightning.<\/p>\n

If you have set up a store with Lightning payment via BTCPay, then this is also a guide for you to test a Lightning payment in his own store and see if everything has been set up successfully.<\/p>\n

If the Lightning Node has been successfully set up and has sufficient Inbound Liquidity<\/a>, then Lightning payments can be received via the BTCPay server.<\/p>\n

The prerequisite for this is that Bitcoin and\/or Lightning is activated under the menu item Derivation Scheme in the General Settings of the Store Settings.<\/p>\n

In our example, both Bitcoin and Lightning would be enabled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2755″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n

How to create and store the XPub key for Bitcoin can be found in the article “Create Xpub key<\/a>” and “Store xPub key with BTCPay<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

The article “Lightning payments with BTCPay<\/a>” explains how to activate Lightning payments in the store.<\/p>\n

In the store settings under Checkout Exprience, you can set whether Bitcoin or Lightning is displayed to the customer as the default.<\/p>\n

For Bitcoin it is BTC (on-chain) and for Lightning BTC (off-chain).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2751″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\n

If you offer a product in the microcent range, then it is recommended to use Lightning (BTC off-chain) as the default.<\/p>\n

For example, the Voting System<\/a> application supports Lightning only.<\/p>\n

However, since Lightning is not yet so widespread, both variants should always be offered to the customer.<\/p>\n

We will demonstrate the process using the example of the page: http:\/\/store.coincharge.io\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We buy a mineral water here for 10 cents and head to the checkout. At checkout, we click on “Pay with Bitcoin” and then the payment page or also called checkout page opens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2747″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\n

In the Pay with section, the payer can specify whether to pay with Bitcoin or by Bitcoin (Lightning).<\/p>\n

The invoice amount of 10 cents is 1,428 sats.<\/p>\n

The checkout page is built in such a way that the customer is shown the Lightning invoice (Bolt 11 invoice) in the form of a QR code.<\/p>\n

This view is suitable for making a Lightning payment via a mobile wallet.<\/p>\n

You can find an overview of the most important Lightning Wallets, with links to the respective detailed descriptions, at: https:\/\/coincharge.io\/lightning-wallet\/<\/a><\/p>\n

If you click on Network Node Info, you will get the details of the Lightning node also displayed as a QR code<\/p>\n

The network node information is the node ID. In our case the node ID of Coincharge: 0318ac9faa9629e7da08819bc8fe0dd2ae3044d69b1b2283a63479acffeb968483@172.81.178.22:9735<\/p>\n

This information can be helpful if you want to establish a direct channel to the Lightning Node. Then the Lightning payment would be made directly. However, it is also not mandatory. The Lightning payment will find its way that way too.<\/p>\n

If you want to pay the bill as an invoice via Ride the Lightning instead of a mobile wallet, click the Copy button located to the right of the Scan field.<\/p>\n

In the upper field all the data for an invoice are given. Click on the field and the information will be copied to your clipboard.<\/p>\n

The calculation then looks as follows:<\/p>\n

Receipt of a Lightning payment<\/h2>\n

If the payment was successfully executed, then we will receive a feedback about the successful receipt of payment.<\/p>\n

In our Ride the Lightning dashboard, the Lightning payment is then displayed as follows.<\/p>\n

Under Lightning > Transactions and then in the Lightning Transaction section click on Invoices. All Lightning invoices generated by the system are listed here. The unpaid bills in yellow.<\/p>\n

If you want to know through which channel the Satoshi came, you can find out under Lightning > Peer\/Channels. In our case, the payment came in through Yalls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2733″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
