I’ll be honest: building my site wasn’t smooth at all. I had never done anything like that before, and I stumbled more than once. What really made the difference was getting help from the developer behind BoltCanvas. He built the core tool I’m using, and you can find it on GitHub here:
https://github.com/MaviLabArt/BoltCanvas
If you want a setup similar to mine, there’s a practical constraint to accept upfront: you either need a computer that’s always on, or you’ll have to rent a VPS. There’s no way around that if you want things to run reliably.
For on-chain and Lightning payments, there isn’t a single “right” path. There are many approaches, and most of them are well documented on GitHub. It’s worth spending time there and choosing what fits your workflow and your tolerance for complexity.
If you get stuck, I’d genuinely recommend reaching out to the BoltCanvas developer directly. He helped me a lot during different phases of building my site, and without that support I probably wouldn’t have made it work.
I hope this helps, even just to save you a bit of time and frustration.
