Description

I have exported xpub and used it in one of my website to give a different address to all users and when funds are received on any address, it is not visible on electrum wallet. I can understand this as electrum can not watch infinite addresses. But it would be a great feature to import the address or transaction which was received (also in bulk) so it can be updated in the wallet and I can use funds from electrum itself.

PS: If it's possible now please let me know.

Research direction

First determine whether current Electrum wallet import or watch functionality already covers the request; done would require an agreed design for importing individual or bulk addresses or transactions, updating balances, and spending the resulting funds, with tests for those paths.
