I could not find the information I was looking for on the "Wallet FAQ" page (/FAQ/Wallet/).

[PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW THE PAGE CAN BE IMPROVED]

This might be a basic question, but when creating a wallet on your node, will you receive the seed phrase for that wallet? This way, if your node goes down, you can still access it. Also, if that happens, do you need to use a BTCPayServer instance to access the wallet, or can you use any other wallet? If you do use a different wallet, will the gap limit become an issue? I'm new to gap limits and Bitcoin wallets, so I'm finding it a bit confusing.

Okey so I found out that the seed phrase can be opened by any wallet, kind of obvious but still I was unsure. Then the only question would be if GAP-Limits are a problem if you would open the seed in another wallet.

I'm assuming we get the recovery seed as that would make the most sense.

Last extra question, is it possible to use a wallet such as Coinbase and does that also suffer from GAP-Limit issues

I would recommend Electrum, coinbase wallet won't work with gap limit https://docs.btcpayserver.org/ElectrumWallet/

Create a wallet in electrum, import a wallet file into btcpay (easy) and manage your wallet in Electrum https://docs.btcpayserver.org/ElectrumWallet/
