Shop-from-anywhere lives or dies on a boring detail: whether the payment carries an order reference. A bolt11 invoice has a description field, and that is the only place a cart ID can ride along. A static address carries no such field per order, so the sats arrive unlabelled and someone matches amounts by hand later. That holds while volume is low. Once orders overlap, the portal is a storefront and the reconciliation is still yours. If the market builds a fresh invoice per order and writes the order ID into the description, the books close themselves. Worth confirming that is how it works before leaning on it, because it is cheap now and painful later.
