🔧 Technical Details

WebLN Integration

// Example WebLN payment flow
if (window.webln) {
  await window.webln.enable();
  const payment = await window.webln.sendPayment(invoice);
}

Payment Flow

1. User selects session type
2. System generates Lightning invoice
3. WebLN wallet processes payment
4. Payment confirmation received
5. Session activated immediately

Security Considerations

• Payments are atomic (all-or-nothing)
• No payment data stored locally
• Invoice amounts are fixed and transparent
• No refund mechanism (by design)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• WebLN not detected: Install compatible wallet
• Payment fails: Check wallet balance
• Session doesn't activate: Refresh page and retry
• Invoice expired: Generate new invoice

Wallet Setup

1. Install Lightning wallet
2. Fund wallet with Bitcoin
3. Enable WebLN in wallet settings
4. Test with small amounts first
