This step is always what throws me and then I can't figure out how to make it just friggin work with a regular-ass wallet. Last couple times I tried, I just ended up using PayPal 🤮. Didn't know they supported lightning.. I'll have to give it another spin. Paying with BTC shouldn't be this cumbersome.

Yea, to be clear BitPay sucks for a ton of reasons. But, it does let me pay for stuff with LN sometimes.
Fun report: I tried to buy something off Newegg with BitPay again today. Selected Nunchuk wallet, gave me an error, then flipped out and wanted me to create a BitPay account. I cancelled the tx and just used a credit card 🤦♂️. I left feedback on Newegg's site to use Opennode or BTCPayServer, because I've not once had success using BitPay on their site.
Ugh. Yea…. They’re pretty bad. I have found that it mostly works though :/
I was reading that if you just type in nonsense when it asks you for a wallet, it will give up and give you an address. I'll have to try that next time.
