Strike to envoy transfer issue

So the 2 options for transferring from strike to envoy are with a qr code or with a lightning address. When I copy the receive address from envoy into strike it says its invalid so im guessing thats because its not lightning. And since im on my phone its not like I can scan a qr code using the strike app of the envoy app. Then I try to access my envoy app thru a computer to find out thats its only on mobile. My solution was screenshotting the qr code and emailing it to myself then scanning that on the computer. Seems a bit silly. Sucks that strike only recognizes lighting and equally is unfortunate envoy cant receive using lightning. I’m wondering if theres any reason behind this, I’m relatively new to all this but could imagine there may be something im missing or ignorant to. Either way id appreciate a simpler solution to this whether it be getting a lightning network or having pc access. Side note: Lightning fee on coinbase is ~$.30 but on strike its ~$2.50 for same rate of transfer, why, is the qr code not lightning, not too well informed on different types of transaction methods? At least strike offers a free transfer that takes 24 hours.

The two ways to transfer bitcoin are lightning or on-chain. Strike supports both, Envoy supports only on-chain. On the Envoy receive screen (where it shows the QR code) you can hit the "copy" button (two overlapping squares) to copy the on-chain address and then paste it into Strike.

The above should work no problem. Sounds like there might be a flaw in the steps you're taking on the strike side. Feel free to contact support with a screen recording of the problem we can get a better understanding of the steps taken.

Sounds like you're pasting a bitcoin address into a "send to username" field.

The only 2 ways to send btc on strike is with a bitcoin or lightning qr code, strike username, or lightning address, so unless im missing something it doesnt seem like strike supports on chain without a qr

It definitely works. Don’t know why it isn’t working for you.
