How it works

Two moves. No bank in the middle.

Connect your wallet once — setup takes about five minutes — and after that every invoice is the same two moves.

  1. Create the invoice

    Line items, taxes, due date, your logo and color. Email it from Zaptrain, or copy the link and send it yourself over WhatsApp, SMS or your own email.

  2. Get paid, straight to your wallet

    Your customer scans the QR with any Lightning wallet. The invoice flips to Paid and the sats land in your Lexe wallet — no waiting, no payout schedule, no one in between.

Why Zaptrain

Built on rails that don't sleep.

Card networks were built for a 9-to-5 world: clearing windows, chargebacks, frozen accounts, cross-border friction. Lightning plus self-custody removes all four.

Instant, 24/7 settlement

Lightning payments confirm in seconds, any day of the year — no clearing window, no weekend, no payout schedule. Your invoice goes from Sent to Paid while your customer is still on the page.

Final. No chargebacks, no freezes

Bitcoin payments can't be reversed. No 90-day chargeback window, no processor pulling funds back, no merchant account suddenly “under review”.

Only you can move the funds

Funds settle straight into a Lexe self-custody wallet only you control — Zaptrain never has access. Bill anyone, anywhere — the same wallet, the same rails, wherever your customer is.

Already take Bitcoin?

On-chain checkouts cost you customers. Lightning ones don't.

What your customer goes through today
  • Copies and pastes an address, types the exact amount by hand
  • Spends 10–60 stressful minutes refreshing, waiting for confirmations
  • Under-payments and late confirmations left for you to reconcile
What they get with Zaptrain
  • Scans a QR and approves with one tap — the exact amount is in the code
  • Payment completes and confirms in seconds, on the same screen
  • Under-payments and undetected payments are not possible
For you: your invoice flips to Paid, your system gets a webhook, and the sats land in your own Lexe wallet — never a balance we hold. More checkouts completed, nothing to reconcile by hand. Add Lightning next to your on-chain option or replace it — the hosted checkout drops into any site, and the API and MCP connector fit any system of record.

Getting started

One-time setup, about five minutes.

Everything you need is a free Lexe wallet and a Zaptrain account. No bank, no processor, no approval wait.

  1. On your phoneDownload Lexe

    Get the Lexe app for iPhone or Android and sign up. Lexe is a self-custody Bitcoin Lightning wallet: your keys are managed inside secure hardware that Lexe cannot access, only you can move the funds, and it receives payments even while your phone is offline.

  2. In LexeCreate a Receiver credential

    Open Lexe → Menu → Client credentials → Create. Set the role to Receiver and copy the credential. A Receiver credential lets Zaptrain create Lightning payment requests and see when they're paid — nothing else. Money can come in; none can leave your wallet through Zaptrain. Once your Lexe app is up to date, Zaptrain checks the credential with Lexe when you connect and refuses anything that can spend.

  3. On zaptrain.comCreate your Zaptrain account

    Sign up with a business or personal name and an email. No ID, no KYC, no bank details — Zaptrain never holds your money. Then paste the Lexe credential in Settings; Zaptrain tests the connection and confirms it's a Receiver credential.

  4. SettingsAdd your branding

    Business name, logo, brand color and a default memo. They appear on every invoice email and payment page your customers see.
