Build your own NWC service
NWC is an open standard, so a team can run its own wallet service, choose its relays, and define the exact receive-only behavior it wants.
This requires significant work and is better suited for enterprise deployments or dedicated engineering teams.

Mobile wallet
Zeus
Zeus can issue NWC strings from its Nostr Wallet Connect service on recent versions.
Zeus is mobile-only and not suitable for production use because it is unlikely to be online 24/7 — but it is fine for testing.
- Go to Tools, then Nostr Wallet Connect service.
- Create a new connection.
- Enable read methods and, if needed,
make_invoice. - Leave
pay_invoiceand keysend permissions off, then copy the connection string.
