How does making payments in mods work?

Payments in Fedi mods are powered by WebLN, a standard that lets websites and applications communicate directly with your Lightning-enabled wallet in a seamless, secure way.

This means that when you want to make a purchase in a Fedi mod, like topping up your phone using Bitrefill or buying a prepaid Visa card with the Bitcoin Company, you can pay from your federation wallet without having to scan QR codes, paste invoices, or even exit the mod.

Here’s how it works in practice:

1. The mod requests a payment. When you check out, tip, or send funds in a mod, the mod uses WebLN to create a payment request that can be completed from any federation wallet you select.

2. You review and approve. Fedi displays the request along with the federation wallet selector. Once you've chosen a wallet and reviewed the fee details, tap Accept to complete the payment.

3. The payment is sent instantly. Once approved, your federation wallet pays the Lightning invoice. WebLN handles all the behind-the-scenes steps, so the payment feels instant & seamless.
