Do you have to set up something for that in your node, or does that happen automatically? Do you have a good article on that?

Ok, I found a few myself thanks to the designation “multi path payment”. I have been using Lightning for a while but am not fully on board with the tech yet. Thanks, I will definitely look into this further. ty

I don't know for sure, but I believe all modern node implementations will do that automatically for you. I don't have any articles on that, I remember Rene Pickhardt talking about it in a Podcast or on Twitter. But you seem to have found some stuff already.

No, multi path allows routing across different paths (so, different intermediate channels), but the sender uses only one channel. As far as I'm aware there is no way to use the capacity in multiple channels to effect a payment, atomically. You would have to make multiple payments.

See my other reply.
