Today, ZapplePay just shipped AutoZaps. It's like a decentralized Patreon: every npub gets their own page where people can set up recurring payments to them. https://www.zapplepay.com/autozap/

AutoZaps and ZapplePay use NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) to communicate with supporting wallets such as Mutiny and Alby. Both wallets have budgeting features so you can auto-approve payment requests associated with a specific NWC string.

We built Mutiny+ using this same NWC tech. Bitcoin is a "push" system, so replicating fiat's "pull" payments in a self-sovereign way involves new ideas and standards. NWC keeps the user in control, and offers the convenience of autopay when you want it. https://blog.mutinywallet.com/solving-subscriptions-on-bitcoin-one-zap-at-a-time/

Check out AutoZaps and see what you think! We're looking to work with other services / products that want to offer NWC-based checkouts and subscriptions so hit us up if you'd like to chat.
