The problem with the lightning network is that it's still not easy to use for newbies and not many wallets support it.
i disagree - what is hard in installing an app? there is bluewallet, phoenix, walletofsatoshi and so on. sure some are more custodial than others, but i would argue that it is getting easier "every day"

maybe there will not be a lot of usage in the store, because it is obvious that you spend the "dirty fiat" first, before spending valuable sats. but then i heard there are also people having only bitcoin - they have to spend their sats one way or another

The problem with the lightning network is that it's still not easy to use for newbies and not many wallets support it. Besides, it's not yet suitable for big transactions.

BlueWallet provides a seamless Lightning experience for newbies. Also, my node routed quite a few large payments (up to 900k satoshis). I wouldn't be surprised if larger nodes were routing much bigger transactions.

...gambling responsibly. Do not be addicted.
Besides, it's not yet suitable for big transactions.
Lightning network is better for paying small transactions, you visit a coffee shop daily, you can open a channel with the coffee shop owner and be using lightning network for the payment. This type of transaction will not be good on onchain but rather be good on layer 2. This will keep the mempool less busy if many people adopt lightning network.

I'm not trying to discourage you from adding it to your store but I don't expect you'll receive many payment through it.
If your concern is bitcoin high transaction fees, then you could think of accepting other currencies with low transaction fees such as LTC.

BTCPayServer, I guess one of the most reputable BTC payments processors, also has Lightning.

I used to have an e-wallet and I knew how to accept Bitcoin payments. But I recently learned that using the Lightning Network can also be used for payments, and it also has the advantages of low fees and fast payments.
I have a store and I want to use the Lightning Network to recive money. How should I do this?
