Bitcoin Payments on Lightning Network
The Bitcoin Lightning Network is a Layer 2 protocol that enables near-instant Bitcoin transactions with fees under 0.5%. For eCommerce merchants, Lightning Network is the recommended Bitcoin payment method because it provides a checkout experience comparable to credit cards in speed. The customer scans a QR code with their Lightning-compatible wallet (Strike, Cash App, Muun, Phoenix, or any other Lightning wallet). Payment confirms in under one second.
The order processes immediately. No waiting for blockchain confirmations. Dominate generates unique Lightning invoices for each order with built-in expiration timers. If the customer does not pay within the window, the invoice expires and no funds are locked.
Failed routing attempts never debit the customer. Lightning Network fees are typically under 0.5%, making it the lowest-cost payment method available for eCommerce. On a $100 order, you save approximately $2.40 compared to credit card processing.
