Rizful: First Steps

Your free Rizful account comes with a Lightning Address anyone can pay, and a receive-only code that lets your website or app take Bitcoin payments straight into your Rizful vault.

Here's how to get set up. If you don't have an account yet, sign up at rizful.com first.


1. Choose your Lightning Address​

Open your Rizful account and click the edit icon next to your Lightning Address. Pick the first part of your address, the part before @rizful.com. Anyone can send Bitcoin to this address, from any Lightning wallet.

Once it's saved, you can test it with the free Lightning Address Tester, which checks your address the same way a sender's wallet does.


2. Get your receive-only NWC code for OpenReceive​

OpenReceive is a free, open-source way to accept Bitcoin payments on your own website or app, straight into your Rizful vault. All it needs is a receive-only NWC code from Rizful. That code can create invoices, but it can never spend your funds, so it's safe to put on a server.

From the main menu in Rizful, tap NWC:

Open NWC from the main menu
Open NWC from the main menu

Then tap Copy receive-only code:

Copy the receive-only NWC code
Copy the receive-only NWC code

Paste it into OpenReceive as your NWC_URI. No account, API key, or KYC needed. The same code also works with BTCPay Server and any other app that only needs to receive payments.

3. Optional: get zapped on Nostr​

Nostr is a free, open social network where people can tip your posts with Bitcoin, called zaps. Connect a Nostr app to Rizful and zaps land in your vault.
