Hi!
I've seen this https://satoshis.place/ website.
Thus I am looking for a simple guide that would explain how do I pay in bitcoins using lightning network.
Does bitcoin core supports this feature?

Bitcoin core isn't a lightning wallet... You can run a bitcoin core node and install c-lightning on top of it... C-lightning makes use of your core installation to function.

As for a simple walktrough: i made a lightning application on the testnet and wrote a walktrough on how to use it:

Mainnet is about the same as the testnet, but i'd encourage you to try LN on the testnet first Wink

The guides I've tried out are only for testnet use, so I might check out moca's link in the near future. I can't quite say why I haven't been confident enough to try mainnet transactions, but if you're interested, this one seems to get a lot of positive feedback:
https://hackernoon.com/harnessing-lightning-for-instant-bitcoin-transacting-a-tutorial-3b9dcdc00552

It's for how to spend on the Blockstream store, but uses Lightning Charge instead of (I think) c-lightning in moca's guide, so let us know if it goes well for you! I'd try it since the items there are only like $2 (and so far from what I read on this implementation, very high rate of success) but I am on a Windows machine (this guide is for Linux).
