It is even possible to implement prices as nanopayments. These would be prices of a few satoshi, which is the equivalent of less than a cent.<\/p>\n<p>In order to accept Lightning payments, it is necessary to operate a standalone Lightning Node for each merchant.<\/p>\n<p>In combination with a Lightning Node from C-Lightning and the use of Lightning Charge and partly the use of WooCommerce Pluging for WordPress, new digital business models can be realized, where the customer pays products for a few cents.<\/p>\n<p>Such business models can be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Payment per newspaper article, news, video as pay-per-view<\/li>\n<li>Pay per music downloads, music tracks, images, software as pay per download.<\/li>\n<li>Payment as donation, support and allowance for artists, YouTubers, bloggers and influencers<\/li>\n<li>Payment as an additional function in a game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How you can accept Lightning payments via BTCPay, you can read in the article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/accept-lightning-payments-with-btcpay\/\">Accept Lightning payments with BTCPay<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Bitcoin micropayments via flash payments [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3673&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Bitcoin micropayments via flash payments Bitcoin micropayments lend themselves [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-payment-processing","category-lightning-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3668"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5111,"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3668\/revisions\/5111"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coincharge.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
