Bullish. What have you found to be the sweet spot for fees? Also, the developer doesn’t have to run a node at all to set this up right, the main requirement is the VPS?
Make money with your Alby Hub or Rizful Node in three steps:
1. find Shopify merchants who want to accept Lightning
2. run a BLFS instance for those merchants (50+ merchants on a $5/mo VPS)
3. take a small percent of sales
All of this is possible with BLFS.

Discussion
The fees are something that should be negotiated between the BLFS developer and the Shopify store owner -- nobody else will be able to see them. So we probably won't ever know what developers are charging for fees.
Right, you just need a NWC string (from Alby, Rizful, CoinOs, etc.) ... and some kind of VPS with a domain name.... so far it seems like the whole thing can be vibe coded! Full docs are here: https://docs.megalithic.me/BLFS/getting-started
