Zaprite has added LNURL integration for wallets running the Breez SDK.

The Breez SDK provides developers with an end-to-end solution for integrating self-custodial Lightning payments into their apps and services, eliminating the need for third-party custodians and simplifying the complexities of Bitcoin and Lightning.

Zaprite worked closely with the Breez team for their recent incorporation of LNURL-verify into the Breez SDK. LNURL-verify is a mechanism that allows third-party platforms, like Zaprite, to query when a payment has been made to a merchant’s wallet.

Empowering Self-custody Lightning Payments

Zaprite is not a custodian. We aim to meet merchants where they are by integrating with specialist wallet providers. One of the main benefits of integrating with Breez SDK-powered wallets is that it empowers our merchant’s to continue to enjoy self-custody, while at the same time benefiting from Zaprite’s extensive suite of merchant tools. Merchants around the world can be onboarded to Zaprite and ready to accept Lightning payments in minutes.

The Breez SDK – Nodeless is one of the simplest ways for any app or service to add self-custodial bitcoin payments. Its Liquid implementation works by utilizing Boltz’s non-custodial Bitcoin bridge to swap funds — so users can effortlessly send and receive payments across Lightning, Liquid, and on-chain Bitcoin. 

This has many benefits to the end user, the main one being the removal of the requirement to run and manage Lightning channels and liquidity.

Self-custodial Lightning Payments for Merchants

The Breez SDK powers a growing number of lightning-enabled wallets, including Misty Breez, Yopaki, Flash and more. The ability for merchants to accept bitcoin payments in a self-custody manner is crucial. The complexity of running a Lightning node and managing lightning channel liquidity can be fully removed for merchants.
