Sending Payments

UX Principles

  • Provide a unified entry point that “just works” regardless of the pasted/scanned data.
  • Users shouldn’t need to recognize standards (BOLT11 vs. LNURL vs. address).

Guidelines

  1. Consolidate all sending methods in the same UI (BOLT11, Lightning address, BTC address, LNURL, etc.).
  2. Add On-chain Bitcoin to the above UI as an additional way to off-ramp only if needed.
  3. Support Paste, Scan (external QR), and Upload (scan from photos/screenshots).
  4. Contacts: Allow users to save Lightning addresses in a manageable Contacts list to improve the send experience (not yet implemented in Misty Breez, but recommended).
  5. Provide Use all funds when paying to a Lightning or Bitcoin address.
  6. Validate and display amount limits and fees before confirmation.
  7. Interact with the SDK events according to these UX recommendations.
