👋Introduction

The Boltz BTCPay Plugin allows any merchant to accept Lightning payments in a non-custodial way without running a Lightning node or fully manage liquidity of an existing Lightning node.

How does it work?

The Boltz BTCPay Plugin is mainly a UI for Boltz Client, our long-running swap daemon. The plugin downloads latest release binaries of Boltz Client by default, checks the PGP signature and, if all checks out, starts the daemon.

Building

To build and package the plugin for manual upload to your BTCPay Server, simply run the release.sh script inside the git repository.

The path to the built .btcpay file will be shown. You can upload this file to your btcpay server by navigating to Plugins and scrolling all the way down to Upload Plugin.
