Get Inbound Capacity

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.

Getting inbound liquidity with a service provider:

Get your node information so that the service provider knows with whom to open a channel with. To do this, go to:

1. Store > Settings > Modify.

   • 
2. Click on Open Public Node Info Page.

   • 
3. Copy the public node information.

4. Use one of the following Inbound liquidity service providers:

   • lnbig.com

   • Thor by Bitrefill

   • Y'alls by Alex Bosworth

   • Amboss Space by Zero Fee Routing

5. Select the channel capacity you want to have.

6. Pay the invoice using Lightning.

7. Enter your node information (copied in step 3).

8. Confirm purchase.

The instructions are slightly different for users running an Umbrel node. Please refer to this post to know how to proceed.
