Hey, I am working on a Discord bot and I want to implement lightning invoices.
Now, I haven't worked with the Lightning Network as a developer/merchant before.
I only used a lightning wallet (Phoenix and Muun) before to pay for some stuff but nothing from a "developer perspective".
I am only looking for a way to generate an invoice and determine if the invoice was paid before continuing with a request.
I am fine with custodial solutions for the beginning. I really want to get this going as easy and soon as possible.
I looked into Electrum since it's based on Python and I am also using Python for my bot and it supports Lightning (experimental).
Since I use Phoenix, I will recommend Phoenix to my first users. Therefore, I think opening a channel to ACINQ would be the right way to make this work?
Can someone tell me if I am on the right way or will this not work for (obvious) reasons?
I only want to receive funds, no outgoing payments.
