How is a credit issued in Lightning?<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network enable fast, cost-effective and secure payment processing and are therefore ideal for crediting customer sales directly to the merchant.<\/p>\n

As a Lightning Payment Provider, Coinsnap focuses on payment processing via Lightning and accordingly offers the forwarding of customer sales in the form of Lightning as a standardized version.<\/p>\n

The customer’s Bitcoin or Lightning payment is forwarded as Lightning to the merchant’s Lightning Wallet.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3499″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=””]The standard method is a Lightning forwarding to a Lightning wallet with a Lightning address.<\/p>\n

The merchant is free to choose which Lightning Wallet the transfer is to be made to from the solutions available on the market.<\/p>\n

We provide an overview of Lightning wallets with a Lightning address<\/a> in a separate article.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4387″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/dev.os24.work\/lightning-wallet-mit-lightning-adresse\/”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The sats credited to the Lightning Wallet are immediately available to the trader.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin via the Lightning network is ideal for payment processing and it makes sense for merchants to use the Lightning balance to pay suppliers and employees via Lightning.<\/p>\n

Most Lightning wallets with a Lightning address are externally managed (custodial) Lightning wallets. This means that the wallet balance is held by the provider of the Lightning Wallet and not by you.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, you should only leave a small amount of your Bitcoin balance on the Lightning Wallet for a short time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When choosing a Lightning Wallet, you can opt for a self-managed (self-custody) Lightning Wallet with a Lightning address. So far, the only provider of a self-managed Lightning Wallet with a Lightning address is Zeus, but it is to be expected that other self-managed Lightning Wallet providers will offer a Lightning address.<\/p>\n

If you want to store your Lightning balance for the long term, we recommend storing it on your own Bitcoin hardware wallet. The provider Bitbox has already announced a Lightning integration.<\/p>\n

When using a pure Bitcoin hardware wallet without Lightning integration, a switch from Lightning to Bitcoin must be made.<\/p>\n

The swap from Lightning to Bitcoin can be carried out with the provider Boltz.Exchange. We have described exactly how this exchange works in the article Payout in Bitcoin<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
