Web3 Donation Button

Receive donations with the click of a button.

DePay's Web3 Donation Button allows you to directly accept Web3 Donations without any required experience in JavaScript. Just use our button HTML to open a donation widget that uses your configuration.

Example

<div
  class="DePayButton"
  label="Donate"
  integration="1f517a0d-5bf3-4095-a096-c6b11d8e4d91"
  blockchains='["ethereum","bsc"]'
></div>
<script src="https://integrate.depay.com/buttons/v12.js"></script>
<noscript><a href="https://depay.com">Web3 Payments</a> are only supported with JavaScript enabled.</noscript>
<script>DePayButtons.init({document: document});</script>

Create a button

Go to https://app.depay.com/dev/integrations and click "New Integration".

Make sure you select the "Donation Button" integration.

Give your integration a name so that you can identify it later on.

Accepted tokens/blockchains

Choose the tokens you wish to accept as donation methods. Ensure you provide a receiving wallet address for every selected token.

Place button html

Now you can place the integration code into your app and open the DePay Donation widget:

<div
  class="DePayButton"
  label="Donate"
  integration="1f517a0d-5bf3-4095-a096-c6b11d8e4d91"
  blockchains='["ethereum","bsc"]'
></div>
<script src="https://integrate.depay.com/buttons/v12.js"></script>
<noscript><a href="https://depay.com">Web3 Payments</a> are only supported with JavaScript enabled.</noscript>
<script>DePayButtons.init({document: document});</script>

Redirect after donation

Enter the URL to which users should be redirected after a successful donation.

If you need to configure dynamic redirects, continue reading how to setup dynamic configurations.

Configure callbacks

Set up an endpoint to be called upon each successful donation.

The callbacks will execute a POST request to the specified URL.

Ensure you provide an HTTPS URL.

The callback's request body will be structured as follows:

{
  "blockchain": "polygon",
  "transaction": "0x053279fcb2f52fd66a9367416910c0bf88ae848dca769231098c4d9e240fcf56",
  "sender": "0x317D875cA3B9f8d14f960486C0d1D1913be74e90",
  "receiver": "0x08B277154218CCF3380CAE48d630DA13462E3950",
  "token": "0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F",
  "amount": "0.0985",
  "payload": null,
  "after_block": "46934392",
  "commitment": "confirmed",
  "confirmations": 1,
  "created_at": "2023-08-30T11:37:30.157555Z",
  "confirmed_at": "2023-08-30T11:37:35.492041Z"
}

Verify communication

Copy the provided public key, store and use it in your application to verify all communications from DePay's APIs to your systems are authentic.

DePay APIs include an x-signature header with all requests sent to your systems.

Use that x-signature header together with the stored public key to verify the request is authentic.

DePay employs RSA-PSS with a salt length of 64 and SHA256 to sign request bodies. The signature is then sent base64 safe URL-encoded via the x-signature header.

JavaScript

Use DePay's verify-js-signature package for JavaScript & Node:

import { verify } from '@depay/js-verify-signature'

let verified = await verify({
  signature: req.headers['x-signature'],
  data: req.body,
  publicKey,
});

if(!verified){ throw('Request was not authentic!') }

Ruby

public_key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(STORED_PUBLIC_KEY)
signature_decoded = Base64.urlsafe_decode64(request.headers["X-Signature"])
data = request.raw_post

verified = public_key.verify_pss(
  "SHA256",
  signature_decoded,
  data,
  salt_length: :auto,
  mgf1_hash: "SHA256"
)

raise 'Request was not authentic' unless verified

PHP

use phpseclib3\Crypt\RSA;
use phpseclib3\Crypt\PublicKeyLoader;

$signature = $request->get_header('x-signature');
$signature = str_replace("_","/",  $signature);
$signature = str_replace("-", "+",  $signature);
$key = PublicKeyLoader::load($public_key)->withHash('sha256')->withPadding(RSA::SIGNATURE_PSS)->withMGFHash('sha256')->withSaltLength(64);

if( !$key->verify($request->get_body(), base64_decode($signature)) ) {
  throw new Exception("Request was not authentic");
}

Restrict domains

Integrations permit usage and embedding exclusively on websites hosted on specified domains.

If no domain is entered, domain restriction is entirely deactivated.

Once you specify even a single domain, restriction enforcement is activated.

It's essential to list each domain and subdomain you wish to support separately.

For instance: example.com, www.example.com, pay.example.com.

Dynamic configuration

To pass a dynamic configuration the the button, such as for conveying dynamic prices or for initiating dynamic redirects after successful donations, you'll need to activate dynamic configurations for the specified integration.

After activation, your dynamic configuration - supplied via an API endpoint from your system - must return a valid widget configuration. This configuration should, at a minimum, detail the accepted donations, including blockchains, tokens, amount, and receiver.

caution

Ensure you supply the widget configurations through your designated API endpoint. Do not pass the "accept" parameter directly to the widget during frontend initialization.

Set endpoint

First, you must specify an HTTPS URL endpoint that the integration will call each time someone attempts to make a donation.

caution

Endpoints need to respond a dynamic configuration under 2 seconds or requests will be dropped otherwise and the widget will not load.

Sign responses

Similarly to how DePay APIs ensure the authenticity of requests to your systems by cryptographically signing request bodies with RSA-PSS, you'll need to employ the same method when implementing dynamic configurations.

To begin signing your dynamic configuration responses, first generate a private key.

Ensure you have OpenSSL installed to generate private keys.

Install OpenSSL

macOS

Best to use Homebrew.

brew update
brew install openssl

Windows

https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openssl

Generate private key

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048

danger

Ensuring you adhere to the highest security standards when working with private keys. Never share or publicly disclose the private key.

Generate public key

openssl rsa -pubout -in private_key.pem -out public_key.pem

Store public key

Now take the content of the public_key.pem (not the private key!) and store it with your integration on https://app.depay.com.

The public key format looks like:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA4PlPK+oM4nQX5TcmnWAE
UMtd5hL8irx1Fbmwtpg4P7aQA1Y7RJ7/JwEMKs4+kJcgSQqqBoil+YgP2WSGtDnp

-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

Integrate responses

After setting up an endpoint and registering a public key with the integration, you can begin tailoring your endpoint to return dynamic configurations.

Incoming requests will have the following headers:

Accept: application/json,application/vnd.api+json
Accept-Charset: utf-8
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
X-Signature: 0Lt-bOwigLB_tPzWev5Iwe1YeWFWQ1fTi31wolfisWXuSKfuj53MujGfxkDli_A3R4IgFpgfEF6KmU1tDqYn2bId2HiFG6MYf5v25bhLscJnwAlGyVYMVmnxYyuPYsHMTZvZx61LSxC52TavRw4LN5wq9ux4nw4B30rnqCAaYKAZcUgpKgUwsMRToY0D8AwwW2mkkFk5rJKdx0LAnhz0dpGx5b5lc1v7UbcdzvteU8PBzyXcT2hQ-lMo8dTcdFM6tr_xJRrlxEOzeAKB3b2EfOKS_H9AtzICXT-NGc-HvgWKI56NURAheJweKdAvV7AF5atWTjSLnTFAHFl4NkLFsg==

Ensure you verify the incoming x-signature header to confirm the request's authenticity. How to verify communication.

Basic response

Responses need to be formatted in JSON.

A basic response includes a fundamental widget configuration detailing the list of accepted tokens for the respective donation. In a basic setup, donations are denominated in tokens:

{
  "accept": [
    {
      "blockchain": "ethereum",
      "token": "0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7",
      "receiver": "0x4e260bB2b25EC6F3A59B478fCDe5eD5B8D783B02"
    }
  ]
}

This configuration accepts USDT on the Ethereum blockchain sent to 0x4e260bB2b25EC6F3A59B478fCDe5eD5B8D783B02 as donation.

Consult the widget documentation for a deeper understanding of how widget configurations operate.

Passthrough payload

If your dynamic configuration depends on data initially provided the the button (on the frontend) and this data needs to be relayed to your backend for determining the dynamic configuration, pass your payload the the button during initialization:

<div
  class="DePayButton"
  label="Donate"
  integration="1f517a0d-5bf3-4095-a096-c6b11d8e4d91"
  blockchains='["ethereum","bsc"]'
  payload='{"user": "123123123"}'
></div>

By doing so, the payload will be included when calling your configured endpoint. The request body directed towards your configured endpoint will now encompass:

{
  "user": "123123123"
}

Finality

DePay employs two distinct confirmation levels for payment validation based on the transaction value and the underlying blockchain's characteristics. Payments below USD $1,000 are designated as "confirmed" after a single block confirmation. In contrast, payments valued at USD $1,000 or above receive the "finalized" status, which necessitates varying block confirmations depending on the specific blockchain in use:
