Trying out taking Merchant payments using nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 Cashu Alpha + Square Terminal 🥜🔥⚡️

Turned on cashu in Zeus, added mint, created order in Square, order loaded in Zeus, hit pay in Zeus.

Opened up my Minibits wallet, scanned the LN invoice. Payment sent.

I received payment into the cashu wallet in Zeus.

Zero channel management.

Immediate payment.

Inventory pulled.

Customer texted receipt.

This is the future of Merchant payments.

Only thing I notice is that it didn’t mark the order as paid. This may be my mistake as I hit “pay” on the order multiple times which created multiple invoices of the order.

Perhaps there should be one invoice per order within a certain time frame.

Or if one invoice was paid to the order number, that it would show as paid, regardless of if other invoices remain unpaid from the same order number. ?

Seems like order will remain “unpaid” if there are other corresponding invoices created for it.

We’ll take a look!

Appreciate you testing out the alpha and providing feedback. Thank you.

CashU is the future

The future is accepted here 🥜⚡️

Hwhaa? 🙂

Yup. Not only are you able to have integrated inventory management and lightning payments but with the cashu implementation merchants can receive in a private way without any channel management.

We can sweep funds to our main lightning channels or to other cashu wallets and mints for other uses.

Cashu is nuts! We can now use cashu directly with our normal Square Terminals and maintain every normal checkout process.

We accept the future at Fern!

That's beautiful

Thank you 🙏

What are ways to adopt this approach if you dont have a square terminal?

ZEUS also has a standalone POS mode

👀 so no integration with the Square POS, you just marked it as paid with cash?

Complete integration in that inventory is pulled from square and customer gets normal receipt. The payment in square is via “more” “other” “zeus” which kicks the api connection to Zeus POS wallet function which takes ln payment and marks order as paid.

You get payment directly to your Zeus not from Square.

That's crazy, who implemented that? Zeus?

wow 👏🏽

We are very excited to be able to use this with near zero friction and easy staff training.

You are living in the future 🚀 Is your setup outlay only Square and running your node? I haven’t used Square before but if this is running smoothly I’ll offer this payment flow to clients 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Only Square and Zeus

Square is inventory and normal payments, customer accounts and marketing etc

Zeus is the node, the LSP, the wallet on the phone.

Amazing 😎

How do you turn on cashu in Zeus?

Settings > Ecash

Only available in the alpha builds for now

How do I get access to the alpha build?

Scroll down our profile or visit the GitHub releases section

Got it. However I don’t see it in my settings?

Node in the phone only

How do I enable cashu in Zeus? I don’t have it atm

So the channel management is outsourced to the runner of the mint, yea?

In your example is your minibits and Zeus pointed to the same mint?

I just happened to use my minibits as a test wallet to pay the order.

Any lightning wallet can pay the Zeus ln invoice order.

The mint in Zeus is selected by the user.

I think I understand. I am wondering if zeus (receiver side) and minibits (payment side) are pointed to the same mint as that would be an e-cash payment within the same mint, i.e. no transaction going over lightning. Vs, if they were different mints, then there would be a lightning transaction between the two mints. (If that makes sense).

That would be correct. That is exactly how cashu works.

The payment is over lightning, but yes the channel is taken care of by the mint because we were accepting cashu.

Why does this sound so complicated?
