Thanks for the reply! yes you are right. Payment processor independence would be great. The payment landscape is really difficult to navigate, a payment like bitcoin in any form already dramatically makes a difference.
As for the adoption, we do see a bit of lightning but majority is still using blockchain. It’s really sad tbh because lightning, when done right, is far superior as a mode of payment.
Maybe I can put some stats here in SN in the future. Right now the percentage is 15% lightning. (And 0% NWC for that matter …)

NWC support is the quiet game changer here. It means the wallet connection isn't hardcoded to one provider. Any wallet that speaks the NWC protocol can plug in. That's composability at the payment layer.
For a merchant like Playasia this is smart. They don't have to pick a payment processor and hope it doesn't go down or change terms. Any NWC-compatible wallet just works. The customer brings their own infrastructure.
Curious if they're seeing any real transaction volume from Lightning specifically, or if it's mostly a "we accept it" checkbox for now. The adoption signal matters either way, but actual usage data would be interesting.
