> :book: ***What is an invoice > :book: ***What is an invoice
Almost all payments made on the Lightning Network require an invoice, which is nothing more than a request for payment made by the recipient of the money and sent by different means to the user who will pay. The format for a Lightning invoice uses bech32 encoding, which is already used for Bitcoin Segregated Witness and all payment requests are single use.
Invoices have two parts:
- Human readable part: `ln` + (`lnbc` for Bitcoin mainnet, `lntb` for Bitcoin testnet, and `lnbcrt` for Bitcoin regtest) + data amount
- Data part : UNIX Timestamp + tagged parts include a payment hash, the pubkey of the payee node, an optional description of the payment, an expiration time, and some extra routing information.
Conside this ln invoice `lntb1m1p03ft7lpp5zve4dsgwgdxekqqq39vhgcnv6gfa2g2ktqy9lf0aph60d0388xmqdqqcqzpgsp545a9fphd8m5ayplcu8m5845cr4m0zcnyxddwv4g3zm32yprkfd4q9qy9qsq3s4y6cmyvh0qw9qm0sf80llxyyjy9xwrjds7lpkqhzv247jsm6q5me8t9e6ftquma664gz5u4a2rvs0yf4f0mlwtwfs6as5uj5djzhcqpnqlcj
` Starts with Prefix ln+tb+1m that indicates milli, so you should multi by 0.001.
