+# Sending Payments
+
+Lightning payments are used to pay invoices, which are typically encoded as a
+string in accordance with BOLT 11. After parsing the invoice, you'll need to
+find a route from your node to the recipient and then make the payment using
+`ChannelManager`.
+
+<CodeSwitcher :languages="{rust:'Rust', java:'Java', kotlin:'Kotlin'}">
+  <template v-slot:rust>
+
+```rust
+// Parse the invoice.
+let invoice = Invoice::from_str(encoded_invoice)
+	.expect("ERROR: failed to parse invoice");
+
+let amt_pico_btc = invoice.amount_pico_btc()
+	.expect("ERROR: invalid invoice: must contain amount to pay");
+let amt_msat = amt_pico_btc / 10;
+let payer_pubkey = channel_manager.get_our_node_id();
+let network_graph = router.network_graph.read().unwrap();
+let payee_pubkey = invoice.recover_payee_pub_key();
+let payee_features = invoice.features().cloned();
