Most people think running a private Bitcoin payment server requires a $20/month VPS, Docker, and a sysadmin degree. It doesn't.
CashuPayServer is a Free and Open Source Lightning payment gateway that runs on standard, cheap PHP hosting. If you can host a WordPress site for $5/month, you can host your own Lightning payment gateway. Simple install. No terminal required. No complexity tax.
You can accept Lightning payments - clients don't need a Cashu wallet.
Stop overpaying for hosting you don't need. Use what you already have.
