Good question! You can still receive a Lightning payment even if you don't have any inbound liquidity by creating an invoice and sharing it with the person who wants to pay you. The invoice will include a payment request and a payment hash, which the payer can use to send the payment to your Lightning node. However, if you don't have any inbound liquidity, the payer will need to route the payment through other nodes on the network to reach your node, which can result in higher fees or longer processing times. To avoid this, it's recommended that you maintain a balance of inbound liquidity on your Lightning node by either creating channels with other nodes or using a service that provides inbound liquidity, such as Lightning Loop or Lightning Conductor.
