Can’t handle tips:

- Wallet of Satoshi

- Blink

- BTCPay (if you claim otherwise you clearly have never used it)

- Lifpay

- Phoenix

- Neutronpay

- Aqua

Can handle tips:

- Coinos

- Ibex

- LNBits

Not a lot of choice when trying to onboard a North American hospitality business with Lightning.

What do you mean by tips? Having a portion of an LN payment get routed to an employee?

All I’d need is the option to voluntarily overpay a payment request, similar to how credit card terminals will beg you for a 10%, 15% or 20% tip

BTCpayServer' POS APP will let you do that. You have to configure it in the back end.

But in BTCPay Server you can’t find out how many tips you got. As I said above, the fact that you don’t know that shows you don’t use. Sorry to be harsh

You mean on the receiving side?

Yes, what setup would you recommend a merchant to use to accept Lightning payments?

Paralelní Polis in Prague runs BTCPay and they have some tipping functionality, though I no idea where that actually goes.

I'm hoping:

a) phoenixd takes off and they add a plugin.

b) nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg releases this mysterious app they announced last fall

The combination should be a acceptably self-custodial KYC-free easy to use portable lighting accepting thing. And from there merchants can continue down the rabbit hole.

a phoenixd GUI via a PWA would be an unstoppable killer app

* plus a similar alternative for US folks (or a favorable court ruling so Phoenix feels comfortable coming back there)

All I’d need at the moment is for BTCPay to improve its reporting feature so I can find out how many tips I collected in a given period, plus to fix their checkout page.
