Wallet & zaps

Receive sats

Create a Lightning invoice to receive a chosen amount into your connected wallet. You can share the invoice with the payer without sharing your wallet connection credentials.

Before you start

  • Connect a wallet and select the account that uses it.
  • For NWC, ensure the connection permits invoice creation and the information you need to check payment.

Steps

  1. Open Wallet → Deposit.
  2. Enter the amount in sats and create the Lightning invoice.
  3. Share the invoice with the payer. Keep your NWC secret and API key private.
  4. Check wallet activity and balance after the payer sends the payment.

Check the result

  • Look for a paid invoice or incoming payment in the wallet; creating an invoice alone does not mean it has been paid.
  • If invoice creation fails, review the wallet connection and its permissions before trying again.
