The guides I've tried out are only for testnet use, so I might check out moca's link in the near future. I can't quite say why I haven't been confident enough to try mainnet transactions, but if you're interested, this one seems to get a lot of positive feedback:

It's for how to spend on the Blockstream store, but uses Lightning Charge instead of (I think) c-lightning in moca's guide, so let us know if it goes well for you! I'd try it since the items there are only like $2 (and so far from what I read on this implementation, very high rate of success) but I am on a Windows machine (this guide is for Linux).

Hi!
I've seen this https://satoshis.place/ website.
Thus I am looking for a simple guide that would explain how do I pay in bitcoins using lightning network.
Does bitcoin core supports this feature?

Bitcoin core isn't a lightning wallet... You can run a bitcoin core node and install c-lightning on top of it... C-lightning makes use of your core installation to function.
As for a simple walktrough: i made a lightning application on the testnet and wrote a walktrough on how to use it:

Mainnet is about the same as the testnet, but i'd encourage you to try LN on the testnet first
Great! Thanks!
