[Buzz pay](https://pos.albylabs.com/) is a Point of Sale terminal you can hook up to alby hub. You can run Alby Hub on Start9 or Umbrel or pay Get Alby to host it for you. Then you can begin taking bitcoin payments at your brick and mortar business or pit a link to it on your blog.
I know a brewer who accepts bitcoin using Aqua Wallet. It's a good wallet, but the problem is the brewer needs to be in the brewery to accept payments. He can't just give the Aqua wallet keys to his beer tenders because the beer tenders could easily rug-pull the brewer. The solution is to run a lightning node, but that's a huge pain in the ass and it's easy to lose sats if you don't know what you're doing. I've lost sats doing this. It's not feasible unless you're a cypherpunk because cypherpunk's write code.
## BuzzPay Fixes This
Buzz Pay fixes this. It's a self custodial point of sale that outspurces the lightning channel management to Alby Hub. Pay a fee and they open a channel for you with inbound liquididty and you're done-ski.
Buzz pay creates links that a beer tender can use for the point of sale. It's just a website front end. The actual transactions go to your node. The brewer can treat it like a cash register and empty it out into his Aqua Wallet every night.
### Alby Hub Makes Lightning Easy
I have tried many bitcoin POS systems over the years. BuzzPay is the easieat self-custodial solution I've tried. BTCpayServer is also a great option that's getting easier and easier. It's very easy if you use an API, but anyone with a Start 9 should be able to easily set Alby Hub up. For people who don't want to mess with their own server, Alby Hub has a wonderful self custodial cloud service. The computer is on their hardware, but you own the keys. If you forget your password, they can't help you.
### Try Buzz Pay Today
BuzzPay is great in my opinion. I've been looking for an Aqua Wallet replacement for this brewery. I don't even drink, but he sells great beef jerky too. More importantly, I want to help spread these tools in my own community like Johnny Appleseed spread apple seeds. So I plan to convert one of my old computers into a server. That's the plan.
