Boosts

Boosting is a paid way to make a merchant stand out. A boosted place is drawn in Bitcoin orange on the map, is highlighted in search results, and appears in the boosted locations section. The fee supports the BTC Map open-source project.

Boosting a merchant

  1. Open a place and tap Boost.

  2. Choose a duration:

    • 1 Month
    • 3 Months
    • 12 Months

    The current price for each duration is loaded with the quote.

  3. Continue to request an invoice.

  4. Pay it with a compatible Lightning wallet — scan the QR code or use the Pay button, and copy the invoice if your wallet needs it.

  5. Once the payment is confirmed, the boost is active and the screen closes.

The Boost screen: 1, 3 or 12 months to choose from, each with its price in sats The same screen once an invoice is requested: the options lock and a Lightning QR code appears with Pay and Copy actions

The options and the continue button stay locked until the quote has loaded, so you cannot accidentally order or pay twice.

Notes

  • Boosting does not require an account.
  • A compatible Lightning wallet must be installed; if none is available, the app tells you.
