Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town

Blink X BTCPayServer Workshop
2024-01-27 , Btrust Stage

Hands-on workshop on how to set up a BTCPayServer store and start accepting Lightning payments directly to your Blink wallet within minutes. If you're a merchant or looking to onboard merchants in your community, you don't want to miss.


In our mission at Blink to enhance the Bitcoin payment experience, we've identified a common hurdle: the complexity of leveraging Lightning transactions for merchants using BTCPay Server. Running a Lightning Node or depending on third-party, often hobbyist custodians has been a significant barrier, especially for non-technical users. To address this, we've collaborated with the BTCPay Server team to create a seamless solution – the Blink Plugin. Simple, powerful, and integrated: the Blink Plugin connects your Blink account to BTCPay Server, sidestepping the need for a Lightning Node. It’s all about making Lightning payments straightforward and accessible.

Key Benefits:
Hassle-Free Management: Ditch the complexity of running a Lightning Node. The Blink Plugin is custodial, handling liquidity management for you. It's simple: connect your Blink account to BTCPay Server and manage Lightning payments with ease. No technical deep dives needed.

Stable Value with Stablesats: Worried about Bitcoin's volatility? Choose Stablesats in Blink and tie the value of your sats to the US Dollar. This feature lets you receive payments in a stable value form, giving you peace of mind and financial stability in a fluctuating market.

Lightning Payments for All: We're tearing down technical barriers to make Lightning payments accessible to everyone. It doesn’t matter if you're new to Bitcoin or a seasoned merchant; the Blink Plugin is designed for easy adoption, expanding the reach of Lightning payments across the community.
