So we partially used this (https://blog.btcpayserver.org/case-study-technical-prism-sideshift/ ) nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg guide to setup a few merchants at the Old San Juan’s Farmers Market. We didn’t use the L-BTC / Sideshift part so we are only hosting stores at our BTCPay server and setting them up with nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl and #SpecterDIY watch-only for L1 and nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm

#LNHub for ⚡️.

Seems like a tolerable middle ground.

Both merchants also have web presence at :

https://apothecaviva.love

https://yabisi.farm

We enabled BTCPay’s WooCommerce Plug-in for both stores.

Some great products from both. We’re planning to expand this setup to interested merchants at the same farmers’ market. Eventually expanding to others.

Felicidades! Great to see new merchants onboarded. I missed the market, but maybe I will make it next Saturday. Is there an overview somewhere of merchants, farmers etc. where you can pay with lightning in PR? Currently visiting my Puerto Rican family in-law for the hollidays.

Update : Seems there's no OSJ Farmers' Market this Saturday because of Three Kings Day celebration.

Thank you for the update. Looking at the BTC map, not many places accepts BTC in PR. Orange pilling Puertoricans seems difficult. I have tried to talk to my sister in law who used to sell in the San Juan market her self, and who is connected to some of the activist communities here. It seems like Bitcoin is lumpted together with crypto, and associated with all the people from the US who came here to avoid paying tax at home, and who are seen as just another type of colonialists. And for me, as a white European, I should probably just shut up, and not try to tell people what is best for them. All respect to the work you are doing. I wish you all luck.

You're welcome! You're 100% correct on the difficulty and why it has been an uphill battle here. We're trying to be more efficient and selecting based on initial interest/willingness to learn. Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!

Well. Another update! Organizers seem to have surrenderred to farmers’ pressure and now there WILL be San Juan’s Farmers’ Market this Saturday Three Kings Day.

Both nostr:npub167jrghp745020g6t664wg0rre0vpjswehgqel6tjssl9eeuwxxrswgww05 and nostr:npub1n4a0d9rtxg9nhf456wrdu2ev70u2c5haed3lxdpar2pky6f68njsn90w7h will be there accepting #bitcoin ⚡️.

Hope you can make it there!

Great! I'll try to be there. Family is pulling me in all directions when I am here, but maybe I can make them come as well.
