@ -104,6 +104,17 @@ The only _required_ tag is `currency:XBT`.
You should verify all the present tags (if possible) when you are adding Bitcoin tags to an existing location.
### Companion App Tags
In some cases, Bitcoin acceptance requires the use of 3rd party [Companion Apps](Companion-Apps) that generate invoices on behalf of the merchant. Sometimes the merchant is not even aware you are paying with bitcoin.
If a Companion App is required then the following tags should be used:
`payment:lightning:companion_app_required=yes`
`payment:lightning:companion_app_url:https://app-url-com`
### Legacy Tags
`payment:bitcoin=yes` - This is a very popular legacy tag implying both `currency:XBT=yes` and `payment:onchain=yes`. You should remove the `payment:bitcoin=yes` tag when adding the `currency:XBT=yes` tag.
