LNbits
LNbits is a free and open-source Lightning Network wallet and accounts system. It lets you create multiple wallets, manage payments, and extend functionality through a rich plugin (extension) ecosystem.
Key Features
- Create and manage multiple Lightning wallets from a single funding source
- Extensions marketplace: Point of Sale, Paywall, Tipping, Satspay, and many more
- REST API for programmatic access to all wallet operations
- Admin UI for managing users, extensions, and server settings
- Supports multiple funding sources (LndHub, CLN, LND, etc.)
Getting Started
- After deployment, visit your configured domain to access the LNbits dashboard.
- The Admin UI is enabled by default — use it to configure your funding source and manage extensions.
- Create your first wallet and explore the available extensions to customize your setup.
Funding Source
By default LNbits starts with a VoidWallet (no real Lightning backend). To send and receive real payments, configure a funding source such as LND, CLN, or LndHub through the Admin UI under Server > Funding Source.
