Ok, why not implement CLINK in a wordpress plugin so the webserver can use CLINK to get a bolt11 for the customer? I don't understand why the customers of a wordpress site needs to know CLINK when a BOLT11 is sufficient for this usecase.
Thats exactly how it works, all CLINK does is fetch a bolt11 invoice. CLINK is how the web app connects to the node, the customer does not need a CLINK-aware wallet.
Try it on https://clinkme.dev
The plugin this person made seems geared towards subscriptions which is a separate use-case, that would require a CLINK-aware wallet, thats effectively just a cron job in the wallet to pay a noffer, alternatively the customer can provide an ndebit and the woo server can send requests for payment to that.
Are you going to run a Lightning node on the Wordpress server? Wordpress doesn't generate invoices, lightning nodes do, and most people use Wordpress in a shared-hosting setting.
Nostr lets a web app, whatever that happens to be including static pages... reach the node without the node itself needing a web-server / static ip / tunnel etc.
Having a CLINK-enabled node then also enables more p2p-like use-cases from that same node, such as nostr-clients or even wallet-to-wallet with an
noffercode.Time to face the reality of what has stifled Lightning adoption: Setting up traditional web infrastructure just to reach your node is not for the faint of heart, and failing to do so simply results in a node being a cost-center that is useless unless you're purely a tinkerer that likes ending the day with less sats than you started with.
