Automatic payment for affiliates with LN

[mendace]

I ask you a question, if I had a website that sells gadgets and I wanted to integrate a payment on referrals to affiliated sites using LN but without using the Lnurl option which seems a bit too immature to me, is there a solution that can automate the All?  Bearing in mind that the affiliate can only use an email as a registration, therefore maximum anonymity, however, he cannot generate an invoice manually because otherwise the process is not automatic.  I hope I made myself clear.

I think "Lightning charge" will solve the problem. You can integrate its API on your website easily to automate the payments. The Lightning charge can automate invoices without any issue. It can automate the invoice anonymously and it doesn't even requires the details of the customer.

You should definitely give it a try, and I'm sure it will solve your problem. I will provide you the link of the Lightning charge below, you should visit the link and learn more about this amazing payment processor.

You can also try OpenNode as that will serve the purpose as well, but I won't recommend that one as it's not open-source and it also requires customer details.

Have you looked into this list?[1]. Although I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to achieve here, there are plenty of non-KYC/noncustodial options that should help you automate whatever process you have.

Simply put, I need an LN payment to be made for every sale by an affiliate.  Eg you integrate the link with ref.  code of my store on your site and if you automatically generate a sale you instantly receive the due percentage.  How to automate this without using LNURL?

Right so basically you want to send LN payments from your wallet and not accept payments? If so, then:

You could ask them to provide a lightning address[1] (looks like an email) during the registration process and then you can use the ZBD API[2] to send them payments.

mmh maybe lightning address could be a solution, but it's very similar to LNURL, right?  Because LNURL is a bit too experimental I think.

lightning address is LNURL all it does is make something a bit more human readable.
luridbank39@walletofsatoshi.com is a lot easier to send to then:

With that being said LNRUL has been in use for over 2 years in a lot of wallets. If not every day, I use them several times a week with 0 issues. I have a lot of things out there that just get payments to then with no issues.
