Lots of ecommerce options out there, but as usual, my question is how you receive lightning. Looks like they have some kind of integration with Branta, so perhaps it's connected to this. It is a paid service (although they have a free tier), which makes me hopeful for it. But there's going to be tough times competing with things like Square and Moneydevkit.

For purists, one of the best is https://be-bop.io/ ! (open source, free, self-hostable)

More is better. All in their site sounds good:
-nostr
-branta (optional)
-bitcoin only
Makes me fell more confident to buy from merchantes using this instead of Square, just because is all in the house. Silly, but legit.

I consider branta a dangerous slippery slope...

No free tier yet!
Branta is only for onchain tx, not Lightning.
Bookmarked for our next TM7 ;) Why not share these merchant-related pieces in the ~AGORA?

No, branta is only to verify the receivable address, is like spamhaus for LN.
But they do not provide the payment.
I think this is backed by a btcpay server.
@thebullishbitcoiner can give more technical details.

There are no details yet. I'm waiting for it, I'm a layman on the subject, what I saw is that Branta says the destination address is correct, like an insurance or something. That's useless, shouldn't it be BTCpay or some other POS that guarantees this?

Same is doing spamhaus for emails. But slowly almost all email servers "subscribed" to spamhaus to "verify" an email or a server and now spamhaus can lock down an entire communication with a specific email server.
Is a dangerous slippery slope if we really want to have a permissionless network. They start with destinations, and later will be imposed also on senders... The BTCpay service will say, ok I want to see if you are also "verified" by branta...and so on.
