How does a Lightning payout take place?
When your customers pay with Bitcoin or Lightning in your webshop, these transactions are credited to your own Lightning wallet.
To do this, you need a Lightning wallet with your own Lightning address.
This Lightning address is stored in the Coinsnap backend and all payments are credited to your Lightning wallet via this Lightning address.
A Lightning address looks like an email address, but instead of messages, you can use it to send and receive Bitcoin via Lightning.
Most Lightning wallets are installed as an app on your smartphone.
Using the example of the Wallet of Satoshi, we will show you how to obtain a Lightning wallet with a Lightning address.
We have listed other wallet providers below where you can also obtain your own Lightning address.

You have two options for obtaining the Wallet of Satoshi:
Either you go to the website https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/ and there you will find the two download options for the App Store or Google Play.
Or you go directly to the store on your smartphone and search for the Wallet of Satoshi there.
After you have started the Wallet of Satoshi on your smartphone, you will see a Receive button at the bottom left.
Click on it.
The adjacent window opens.
Below the QR code you will find the Lightning address, which looks like an e-mail address. This is your Lightning address, which you can give to anyone you want to receive sats from.
