Most payment processors require identity verification, bank accounts, and business registration before you can accept a single dollar. Bitcoin Lightning payments work differently — funds go straight to your wallet, settle in seconds, and no third party can freeze or reverse them.

This is a complete self-custody setup: you own your private keys, your node, and your funds from the moment a payment arrives. No custodian holds your money between sale and payout.
