user98008: I want to develop a lightning powered paywall app with Django on heroku but don't know how to implement lightning part of the application besides using a rpc lightning package which needs a lightning node address which is online constantly. I am currently running a bitcoin node and a c-lightning node on my laptop but I shutdown my computer at nights(electricity costs too much in Turkey). So what should I do? Should I switch to a seperate lightning node like Umbrel which runs 24/7 without the need of a laptop, install lightning node on Heroku(I dont know if it is possible) or use 3rd party providers like btcpay-server(if it is possible)?

user123812: Accepting LN payments requires being online because the protocol is interactive.
Running pre-configured hardware nodes like Start9 Embassy, Nodl, Raspiblitz or Umbrel is relatively easy way to get there.
Another way is to host your lightning node on a VPS server online, similar you would host your website.
