This is how it looks when the sender pays the invoice with the Alby Extension

Don't worry if the sender does not pay immediately. Alby Hub is always online if it runs in the cloud and can receive payments 24/7. In your Alby dashboard on getalby.com you can configure payment notifications to ensure you don't miss any incoming payments. 🙂
