Lightning Wallet Payments

How to send and receive with your Lightning Wallet

Written by Matty

Your Rhino Lightning Wallet makes it easy to send and receive Bitcoin instantly over the Lightning Network. To get started, go to the Explore tab and tap Lightning Wallet.


🧾 Receive with an Invoice

  1. Select Create Invoice

  2. Enter the amount you'd like to receive

  3. Tap Generate QR

  4. Share the QR code or copy the invoice string and send it to the payer

Once paid, the funds will be deposited into your Lightning Wallet.


📧 Receive with Your Lightning Address

Your Lightning Address works like an email address for Bitcoin payments (for example, yourname@rhinobitcoin.com). Unlike invoices, which are single-use and expire, your Lightning Address can be reused anytime.

Just copy your Lightning Address from your Lightning Wallet and share it with the person paying you. Learn more in our Lightning Addresses article.


💸 Pay an Invoice or Lightning Address

  1. Select Pay Invoice

  2. Scan the invoice QR code or enter a Lightning Address

  3. Enter the amount, if needed

  4. Tap Send


₿ Send to a Bitcoin Address

You can also send from your Lightning Wallet to an on-chain Bitcoin address. These funds come from your Lightning Wallet, not your Rhino BTC wallet.

  1. Select the option to send to a BTC address

  2. Enter or scan the Bitcoin address

  3. Enter the amount

  4. Tap Send


🌍 Send Cash Globally

Tap Send Cash Globally to go to the Send page, where you can send money to family and friends in India, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa, and Vietnam. Learn more in our Send Globally article.


👀 Don't see the Lightning Wallet? It's only available in Rhino Bitcoin mode. If you're in Rhino Remit mode, you can still send cash globally from the Send tab. Learn how to switch modes.
