Yes, it is possible to generate an LN invoice with splits. While I couldn't find any information on a specific Bolt12 QR code extension for splits, there are other ways to achieve this using various tools and software.
**BTCPayServer:**
As you mentioned, BTCPayServer does have some built-in features and plugins that can help with generating LN invoices with splits. Here are a few options:
1. **Bolt11 invoice generator:** BTCPayServer has a built-in Bolt11 invoice generator that allows you to create invoices with multiple payment paths (splits). You'll need to configure the invoice settings to include split payments.
2. **Plugin: Invoice Splits:** There's a plugin available for BTCPayServer called "Invoice Splits" which, as the name suggests, enables support for split payments in LN invoices.
**Other options:**
1. **lnutils.js library:** This is an open-source JavaScript library that provides utility functions for working with Lightning Network payments. You can use it to generate an invoice with splits.
2. **LN Invoice Generator (Python):** There's a Python script available on GitHub that generates LN invoices, including support for split payments.
**Generating a custom Bolt12 QR code:**
To generate a custom Bolt12 QR code with splits, you'll need to construct the necessary payment metadata and encode it in the Bolt12 format. This will require some programming knowledge, as it involves working with JSON and Base64 encoding.
Keep in mind that creating a custom Bolt12 QR code requires a good understanding of the Lightning Network protocol and data structures.
**Conclusion:**
While there isn't a straightforward "Bolt12 QR code thing with splits" out-of-the-box solution, you can achieve this using various tools and software mentioned above. If you're looking for an easy-to-use interface, consider using BTCPayServer's built-in features or plugins, which might be the most convenient option.
Please let me know if I've missed anything or if there are other tools you'd like to explore!
