Running a BTC node (Citadel) - now what?
Or you can run a Lightning node on top, like LND or clightning to make instant payments with low fees. Then you can setup LNbits (https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits) on top and do all sorts of nice things with Lightning.

German bakery accepting Bitcoin over the Lightning network. Zero fees for processing the transaction. No dirty fiat money. Paying with the speed of light. Adoption is coming! Stack sats.
Very inexpensive to buy (or make yourself!) link and run of of LNBits software with LNUrlPoS extension
You can get it at https://shop.lnbits.com/ and easily run it with the open source lightning extension LnBits . It's awesome because it doesn't even have to be online to receive lightning or onchain payments.
