Quickstart

From API key to first collection, in four steps.

In four steps

1. Create an API key — From the dashboard (API & Webhooks). The secret is shown only once.
2. Create a payment link — A POST call returns a dedicated deposit address and the checkout page URL.
3. Collect from the customer — Redirect them to the hosted page, or show the address and QR code yourself.
4. Receive the webhook — On on-chain confirmation, a signed webhook notifies you. Verify the signature, fulfil.

The full journey

1. Link created — A dedicated deposit address (or Lightning invoice) is generated for the transaction.
2. Customer deposit — The customer sends the exact USDT amount to the displayed address.
3. Detection — The blockchain is watched continuously; the transaction is spotted in under two minutes.
4. Confirmation — Amount and network validated: the payment turns CONFIRMED and a webhook is emitted.
5. Conversion — The rate is locked immediately and the USDT → FCFA conversion is fixed.
6. Payout — The FCFA amount is paid out to the merchant’s Mobile Money (MTN / Orange).
