we are looking somehow to activate LN subscriptions for one of the project we are currently working on. My research or SN and some cases of custom implementations

Have recently discovered ZapPlanner.albylabs.com , they have a WP plugin that is really useful but no integration with the ZapPlanner (for now).

wondering if the community know or can refer any solution working atm.

Thank you

Hey! Yess, this is an interesting usecase - that's why we came up with the Zapplanner.

What specifically are you looking for? A non-custodial solution? Or a tool thatyou could connect to your Wordpress?

Good luck!

Have been trying it and try to make it simple for the subscriber to create one using this link like https://zapplanner.albylabs.com/create?recipientLightningAddress=VEINTIUNO@getAlby.com&amount=21000&timeframe=months&message=VEITIUNO%20Subscripciòn%20mensuàl for each subscription, trying to autofill the required fields differently for each link. Doesn't look to work 🤔

reply

Hi, your URL is invalid - for example the timeframe should be something like 4%20weeks rather than just "months" (note: months is also unsupported), and the parameter for the recipient lightning address is just "recipient"

Could you double check it again against the developer guide in the footer ?

reply

Ok, I did try but nothing still... I found out it maybe because the inputs are required and autofill isn't allowed.

reply

Cool, just found this on the docs. That's super cool! Thanks

Ideally w'd like the WP plugin to enable subscriptions in WooCommerce checkout. If you have ZapPlanner API or something will be great to have.

Basically something like this in the settings https://void.cat/d/5AAcPqMHjW2ySz7UBjYNf9.webp

Where you'll have the same fields that ZapPlanner offers currently and the option to create, edit, suspend and delete subscription as if they were WooCommerce products. So ideally you'll create new subscriptions from this page but also from the WooCommerce > Products page

We do lightning subscriptions in Mutiny. Will have a lot more external support soon.

How does this work? As I was just talking with a friend that will use lightning if it had subscriptions.

reply

It uses the nostr wallet connect mechanics to allow a service provider to request that a specific wallet pay a specific invoice. You can do that whenever you want, whether at checkout or once a day / week / whatever.

Then on the wallet side you can either do something like loading it on next open or even push notification to show the user there's a pending payment request. You can even allow the user to turn on auto pay w/ a budget if they wanted that too.

It's a protocol that would across any wallet and doesn't need the user to be online all the time, or any specific server even.

This is great, look forward to check it out. Thanks

Apparently also Coindebit is working on a solution, should be ready soon

I'd really like the recurrence feature to make it back into the BOLT 12 spec as that would make lightning subscriptions easy to manage natively. Want to cancel? Just disable the offer from your node.

reply

Agree, a consensual BIOLT12 implementation will fix the same issue much easier...
