Handling Pending Lightning Payments
3 days ago by Elena Gilbert
I’m testing the Speed API and would really like to hear from someone who’s worked with it in production. Specifically, how do you handle edge cases when a Lightning payment is initiated but not settled within the expected timeframe? I’ve noticed some test payments get stuck in a pending state, and I’m not sure whether to automatically expire those sessions or keep polling until the webhook confirms completion. If you’ve integrated Speed for real-world transactions, I’d love to know what best practices or timeout logic you’ve found most reliable for ensuring accurate payment status tracking.
