Rizful: First Steps

We recommend Rizful as the easiest way to get started with Lightning payments and Nostr zaps.

These four short steps will have you set up in a just a few minutes.


1. Create an account

Sign up at rizful.com.


2. Choose your Lightning Address

Your Lightning Address is how others send you sats. Pick something short, memorable, and easy to share.

Quick tips

  • Keep the handle short and readable.
  • Avoid unusual symbols or long numbers.
  • Double-check it before saving to avoid typos.

3. Connect a Nostr client (Nostr Wallet Connect — NWC)

Rizful supports Nostr Wallet Connect so your Nostr client can talk to your Rizful account.

What to expect:

  • Connecting usually takes about two minutes.
  • We have short guides for popular Nostr clients like Primal, Damus, Alby, and Amethyst. See the tutorials here.

4. Request a test zap

To get a small test payment from Rizful:

  1. Create a new Nostr post.
  2. In the post include:
    • your ___@rizful.com Lightning Address
    • the text @Rizful.com

That tells Rizful to send a small test zap. Most users receive it within a few hours.
