Satspay Session

This micro app delivers a custom Invoice amount from the SatsPayExtension fron LNbits via an FastAPI endpoint.

Why do this? Because we want to be able to specify a lightning invoice in sats with the USD amount (or any other fiat equivalent amount) with a link instead of creating it manually from within the LNBits web interface.

This is a personal service, so in order to use it with your LNBits account you'll need to put in your credentials and then 1 Click deploy to vercel ( See below ) or self host it yourself.

Flow Diagram:

Create LINK ---> convert fiat amt to sats, add optional message ---->

----> forward to SatsPayServer on LNBits --> Display Timed QR Code

LINK Pattern:

https://satspaylink.vercel.app/fiat/{currency}/amt/{value}

You can also just specify the sats amount if you want:

https://satspaylink.vercel.app/amt/100000

this will autogenerate an invoice for 100,000 Sats

Example:

This is a live example, where the repo is deployed at satspaylink.vercel.app and the user specifies currency type and amount at the url:

https://satspaylink.vercel.app/fiat/usd/amt/100

The above link, given the parameters of 100 USD, will calculate the equivalent amount of sats and then redirect the user to a lightning invoice created by the satspayserver extension.

Clicking on the above link will redirect to the lnbits satspay extension with the lightning invoice conversion automatically.
