Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an OpenNode account?
Lightning Enable is API middleware that connects your platform to OpenNode for payment processing. OpenNode is a payment infrastructure provider that facilitates Bitcoin custody, settlement, and (optionally) conversion to USD. Think of Lightning Enable as the integration layer between your application and OpenNode's infrastructure.
What is KYB and why is it required?
KYB (Know Your Business) is a due diligence process. OpenNode must verify your business to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. This typically takes 2-4 business days and requires submitting business documentation and identity verification.
What are the total fees?
Lightning Enable charges a flat monthly subscription ($199-$299/mo) with NO per-transaction fees. OpenNode charges 1% per transaction. So your total cost is: Lightning Enable subscription + 1% of transaction volume to OpenNode.
Can I start testing before OpenNode approves my account?
Yes! You can use OpenNode's testnet (development) environment immediately after signing up. Mainnet (real Bitcoin) requires KYB approval, but you can build and test your integration while waiting.
What is Lightning Enable's role in payment processing?
Lightning Enable is API middleware that connects your platform to OpenNode. We don't hold or control funds. OpenNode is a payment infrastructure provider that facilitates custody, settlement, and compliance. Consult with legal counsel regarding your specific regulatory obligations.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
Your Lightning Enable API key will be deactivated at the end of your billing period. Any funds in your OpenNode account remain yours—we never touch them. You can resubscribe at any time to reactivate your integration.
What's the difference between the three plans?
Standalone API ($199) is for any platform wanting REST API access. Kentico Commerce ($249) adds native Xperience by Kentico integration. L402 Microtransactions ($299) adds the L402 protocol for pay-per-request API monetization—ideal for AI and data APIs.
Do you support refunds?
Yes, Lightning Enable supports refund processing through OpenNode. Note that Lightning refunds are processed as new outgoing payments, not reversals. Refund capability depends on your OpenNode account having sufficient balance.
What Lightning Enable Does NOT Do
Lightning Enable is API middleware. OpenNode handles custody, settlement, KYB, and compliance. Consult with legal counsel regarding your specific regulatory obligations.
