A lot of websites have to implement a payment UX which may include:

displaying a QR code if WebLN doesn't exist
showing a loading spinner if showing a QR code (user pays with external wallet, we cannot tell when payment is being made)
making the QR code also open a wallet if clicked
add a dedicated button to open a wallet if clicked
make sure it works on desktop and mobile
(Optional) Displaying a button that can pay with WebLN and not showing the QR in this case

If we can offer a simple component that just takes a pay request, this could make Bitcoin Connect valuable to all websites that accept payments.

It could also have a "connect wallet" button below it, so users can select this if they want to enable repeat payments.
