Accept Lightning Payments
Xero can currently accept online payments however most methods have quite large fees and can result in chargebacks. BTC lightning payments have lower fees (almost nothing) and no chargeback risk. The ability to offer customers this would be great.
There are a few SDK's to implement end-to-end lightning payments that are apparently pretty good such as this one:

That’s a great suggestion! Integrating BTC Lightning payments into Xero could be a game-changer, especially for businesses looking to reduce fees and eliminate chargeback risks. The near-instant transactions and low costs make it a solid alternative to traditional payment methods.
The Breez SDK you mentioned looks promising—have you or anyone else here tested it in a real-world setup? I’d be curious to hear about ease of integration and any potential limitations. Also, when considering payment solutions, it's interesting to see how different industries handle transactions. For example, in e-commerce, businesses often look for secure and cost-effective ways to manage transactions, much like how specialized packaging solutions, such as custom wrapping paper https://customboxestoronto.com/product/wrapping-paper/, cater to specific branding needs. Do you think Xero would consider adding native support for Lightning in the future, or would this require third-party workarounds for now?
