Seems like Alby would be the best way to go about it then. LNC requires a client/server relationship. Alby is a pretty nice go between for services and nodes(via LNC) though.
Adding a form to connect to Alby (and, through Alby, maybe even to your own node) is a good idea. Nonetheless, I would still like to reduce the number of dependencies by supporting a connection string directly to your own node.

So Alice would sign up for Alby with their LNC pair phrase and Bob and Carol would request invoices through Alby?

I guess so? I still don't really get why Bob/Carol can't just pay Alice through invoice generated through Alice's LNC connection into some database on magicwebstore's backend, BUT...You would have to look at the alby dev docs. It seems backwards than how it is commonly used, which as a payer tool, not a payee tool, but it could be both maybe. As you know Lnbits is kind of the go-to for webhook stuff though. I personally would use BTCPay on Alice's end but regardless I like the project and I like the vision and hope you find the solution you need!

"some database on magicwebstore's backend'
Magic webstore has no backend
