Keep these in view.
- Lightning and on-chain Bitcoin are different routes.
- Do not send a Lightning payment to an on-chain invoice.
A different protocol from an on-chain transfer
Lightning uses payment channels and invoices rather than a standard Bitcoin-chain address. A BTC on-chain invoice cannot be paid by substituting a Lightning invoice or QR code.
The current OmbraHost boundary
Lightning is not part of the prepared checkout. Use the on-chain BTC route if evaluating Bitcoin; LTC, ETH, TRX, SOL and the listed stablecoin networks are separate prepared options. Monero is not offered.
If Lightning is added later
A future integration would need invoice creation, expiry, payment verification, liquidity monitoring and refund handling. It should be announced only after those parts work together. No Lightning destination is created by this website.
Questions, answered.
Why is there a page for an unavailable method?
It makes the network boundary explicit and gives visitors arriving from a Lightning search a useful alternative.
