NextPay

Your very own LnUrl-Pay server built on NextJS

What's this?

Deploy this server anywhere, connect to your lightning LND node and you get your own LnUrl-Pay server that others can use to pay you some sats! 🤑

What is LnUrl?

LNURL is a protocol that helps you interact with the lightning network without the need to have a back and forth conversation with whoever you want to pay with lightning.

With LnUrl-Pay, scan a QR code, say how much you want to pay and that's it! It's really that simple, no need to ask for an invoice and start copy pasting into your wallet.

Setup

Deploy this server anywhere, add some environment variables and you are good to go.

FAQ

Which macaroon is needed?

It's recommended that you use a macaroon that only has creating invoice permissions. The environment variables are never exposed to the public but better be safe than sorry.

Does my node need to be reachable from the internet?

Yes, your node must be reachable on the internet so that NextPay can connect to it from wherever it's deployed.

Do I always have the same LnUrl QR code?

Your QR code will always be the same! Download it, share it, print it, get a tattoo of it (maybe not), and whoever scans it will be able to pay you some sats.

Can I see an example?
