The merchant problem

Bitcoin payments are not enough for a real shop.

Merchants still need product lists, stock counts, card payments, receipts, kitchen tickets, online orders, customer notifications, and bookkeeping. LNbits already has the pieces. Merchant Stack packages them into one practical commerce workflow.

The stack

One system for the workflows that happen around payment.

Checkout

TPoS

Sell in person with Lightning, card, cash validation, on-chain payments, tips, receipts, and customer-facing device flows.

Products

Inventory

Keep products, prices, tags, quantities, and channel-specific catalog data in one shared source.

Operations

Orders

Capture paid orders, line items, totals, exchange-rate data, fulfillment status, and staff or owner notifications.

Online

WebShop

Sell online from the same inventory with direct pages, iframe embeds, same-origin components, and Lightning checkout.

Hospitality

Tabs

Open balances for cafes, bars, events, tables, teams, and house accounts, with Lightning or manual settlement.

Deployment

SaaS

Launch LNbits without server work. Use hosted instances for shops, popups, events, demos, or client onboarding.

In the shop

Card and Bitcoin payments can live in the same checkout flow.

Staff can build the cart on a computer, send the payment to a customer-facing device, take Lightning or card payment, print the receipt, capture the order, and keep stock updated.

  • Remote payment display for common counter setups
  • Customer receipts and larger order tickets for staff
  • Owner notifications through Nostr, Telegram, or email
  • Accounting-ready transaction history

01

Sell in person

Use TPoS for Lightning, card, on-chain, and cash workflows with receipt printing and order capture.

02

Sell online

Use WebShop to expose the same inventory to customers through a public page or embedded shop.

03

Settle later

Use Tabs for tables, events, staff accounts, hospitality, and recurring customer balances.

04

Reconcile

Keep orders, wallet records, notifications, exports, and accounting integrations connected to the sale.

For merchant advisors

Help local merchants accept Bitcoin without becoming their IT department.

Use LNbits SaaS to spin up merchant stacks for shops, popups, festivals, meetups, and circular economies. A referral/onboarder program can reward people who bring real merchants onto paid SaaS.

Advisor kit should include:

  • merchant pitch
  • setup checklist
  • hardware notes
  • demo script
  • referral link

Start focused

Launch the merchant stack from SaaS, then let users self-host when they are ready.

SaaS is the shortest path from interest to a working merchant workflow. LNbitsBox and self-hosting stay available for merchants who want deeper control.
