Are they at a deep beta for business solutions?
Discussion
Depends on your needs. I’d say they’re geared more toward small vendors/businesses, so if your needs are more complex then something like BTCPay server would be more robust. But then you get into node and liquidity management, although there are some companies like Voltage that have started offering solutions for that. Opennode is good for ease of use and conversion to USD and deposits to your bank. For what it’s worth with the Breez app, it runs a node on your mobile device so it’s self-custodial and doesn’t require any other device/node. By default it uses Breez’s LSP, but you have the option of connecting it to any other node you want. It has an integrated point of sale interface with NFC support, and Breez automatically manages channel liquidity for you (with associated fees of course when channel open/close occurs). It’s also primarily a lightning app. You can send and receive on chain, but you incur a swap fee when you do. Like I said just depends on your needs. Breez is perfect for a small/simple business that just needs a simple lightning point of sale. But I wouldn’t choose it if my needs were more complex.
Got it, very interesting, appreciate you patience for explaining. As the primary need for the project kick off will be to receive online payments vía the LightningBeer (meaning I need to generate a payment request for a specific amount of sats related to the amount of beers to be bought) I think that I will need to jump from OpenNode to BTCPay server… 🤔 As far as for the Breeze POS solution that is sweet, didn’t know that was possible. I would love to show that option to the actual store that will be providing me with the actual craft beer cans, maybe they are interested!
No problem! 🤙
