I had bought domains on Namecheap in the past and paid with Lightning using their Bitpay integration. They also have a BTCPayServer but I never used that because it didn't support Lightning.
Today I went there to pay and Bitpay required me to do full KYC just to pay a small Lightning invoice.
Welcome to the new world.
Sad
I'm getting really tired of kyc
Apparently the same thing happened to Newegg. The statists have conceded the SoV narrative. Shutting down bitcoin payments is the new battleground.

O mesmo aconteceu comigo, mas é só colocar um email aleatório e pronto. Se te pedirem mais algo é só reiniciar
🤮
It’s just sad. No need for CBDCs, they simply fck up Bitcoin.
Wait, did they remove BTCPay? I just used it a couple of days ago!
Then I went to pay using BTCPay and saw they supported payjoin, so I installed nostr:npub1t289s8ck5qfwynf2vsq49t2kypvvkpj7rhegayrur0ag9s2sezaqgunkzs's BullBitcoin wallet because I wanted to be part of the payjoin club, but when I tried to pay using payjoin there was an HTTP error somewhere somehow and I ended up paying normal. The payment appeared as confirmed immediately on the BTCPayServer screen, but Namecheap took many minutes, perhaps a block confirmation?, to actually top-up my balance, it was confusing.
Yes, I've stopped using bitcoin to pay for my contactlenses for the same reason, Bitpay KYC. No thanks!
BTCPay server has supported lightning for quite awhile. Not sure what feature you think it is missing.
KYC is a monster trying to destroy freedom.
