Should the “Your message” and “Your name” fields be displayed? Right now, they’re only flashed when the continue button is clicked.

Also, what causes a recurring payment to fail (and halt)?

nostr:npub15ypxpg429uyjmp0zczuza902chuvvr4pn35wfzv8rx6cej4z8clq6jmpcx if the payment fails 3 times in a row it will halt. Can you check your payment error message in your wallet to see why the payment didn't go through?

Hm interesting. What’s the best way to test this?

I configured a Primal NWC connection on the sending side, and AFAIK, there isn’t any way to see send errors. It just doesn’t show up in the transactions list (see screenshot).

The receiving address is my Alby Hub Lightning address: bullish@getalby.com

I think only Alby hub shows payment failures in the NWC transaction list. We gave the most advanced NWC implementation

That makes sense. I’ll test again with Alby Hub on the sending side! 🫡

Thanks for the feedback. 👍

I think it is tracked here: https://github.com/getAlby/ZapPlanner/issues/81

If not, could you file a new issue?

Will do. 🫡

This is awesome! Is it possible to make the USD payments in decimals? It seems to round the payment to the nearest whole number even though you input it with a decimal

We did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at paul@bitcago.com, over a period of 30 minutes. Six of the zaps were successfully paid... Please check for 6 satoshis received. Problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (The zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) This means a Nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... If you wanted to fix this... you could try a free Rizful account -- https://rizful.com ... when u have it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

There's an open issue for this, would be great if someone submits a pull request!
