I've been thinking about doing the same. Seems like most of answers here are BTC. Anything available in ETH yet? Or maybe XLM? A Stripe for crypto would be awesome.

Does this work? The only instances of people attempting to use LN I've witnessed ended in failure.
Everyone using Bitcoin in El Salvador is using lightning network for the most part.

> Kasisto is a Point of Sale payment system to accept the cryptocurrency Monero. The only requirement is an internet connection, there are no third parties involved.
> To be fast (confirmation within seconds), Kasisto accepts unconfirmed transactions.
If you're not using a middleman, then I think it would be wise to use a private-by-default currency so that others cannot see your financials.

EDIT: Kasisto may be obsolete, not sure. I recommend asking at https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero or at one of their IRC channels https://www.getmonero.org/community/hangouts/
Also a great place to start is Monero Outreach [0]. A bit down the page is a link to a github which links to different integration possibilities for things like WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and OpenCart [1].

ie. with crypto, u can setup a wallet, u can buy currency, then lend it out to a DeX for fees and apy in 3 clicks, no wait period, minimal capital expenditure. no forms to sign.
that kid at macdonalds right now can DCA into crypto using his gaming PC at night time. if u had been doing that the last 10 years, u would be retired by now. get it? the younger generation, crypto is a investment opportunity like our parents generation saw real-estate.
times have changed. the govs had there time to ban crypto, they havnt. its less volatile and more secure and more open then any 3rd world country currency. the investment bankers are in it. its not going anywhere. the masses (20-30s) have who are stacking crypto are going to be the voter bloc of the next 20 years.
