Lightning Invoice
A Lightning invoice is similar to a normal invoice in that it serves as a request for payment. A Lightning invoice includes the amount to be paid, the destination of the payment, metadata, and a message.
Invoices are the Lightning equivalent of an address in that both are sent from the payee to the payer to facilitate a payment. Lightning invoices are usually represented as QR codes due to their length.
