44 sats \ 3 replies \ @kepford 3 Dec \ on: Quick Advice Regarding Merchant Accepting BTC and LN Payments? bitcoin
I assume he's not running a lightning node or servers. He has web designers. I wanna hear what others say but having ran a lightning node for a couple years now just for myself I don't think merchants should just assume they should do it themselves.
If I was running an online business I'd probably either checkout Zaprite or one of the hosted lightning nodes and btc pay providers.
I've been meaning to set up a real BTC pay server myself and I'm planning on doing it between now and the new year. I don't want to get into details but when I do I will write it up. Struggles and all.

We're on the same page. I don't want him to rush into setting up a node just yet. I just convinced him to get his bitcoin off coinbase! We have had a handful of conversations about bitcoin over the years, but he just pulled the trigger recently without me knowing about it. He's just starting the journey He's in an industry with international sales in a gray area where bitcoin has some traction. I'll suggest Zaprite.

The next step after figuring out if you wanna do it yourself or use a provider is to figure out what they have. Are they running Wordpress with WooCommerce, Shopify, or what. Both Zaprite and BTC pay have integrations with different web site solutions.

I do not have any experience with hosted nodes or zaprite. Not an endorsement
