In order to be able to receive payments over the Lightning Network, you must have inbound liquidity to your node. To do this, you can either add Bitcoin to your Lightning wallet and open a channel with other Lightning Network nodes, or you can use a service provider that will grant you inbound liquidity for a small fee.
Get your node information so that the service provider knows with whom to open a channel with. To do this, go to:
Store > Settings > Modify.
Click on Open Public Node Info Page.
Copy the public node information.
Use one of the following Inbound liquidity service providers:
by Bitrefill
by Alex Bosworth
by Zero Fee Routing
Select the channel capacity you want to have.
Pay the invoice using Lightning.
Enter your node information (copied in step 3).
Confirm purchase.
The instructions are slightly different for users running an Umbrel node. Please refer to to know how to proceed.
