Web3 Payment Button

Receive payments with the click of a button.

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

Example​

<div
  class="DePayButton"
  label="Pay"
  integration="1f517a0d-5bf3-4095-a096-c6b11d8e4d91"
  blockchains='["ethereum","bsc","polygon","solana","gnosis","fantom","avalanche","arbitrum","optimism","base"]'
></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>

Integration examples​

Jump straight into example integrations for common frameworks and platforms:

https://github.com/DePayFi/buttons-example-express-js

Create a button​

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

Make sure you select the "Payment Button" integration.

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

Set price​

Enter the price that needs to be paid.

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

If not, proceed with dynamic configuration turned off.

Denominate in currency​

If you set a price in a specific currency, real-time rates will be applied to ensure you receive an amount of the accepted tokens that corresponds to your configured currency price.

Denominate in tokens​

If you set a price in tokens, you'll receive the precise amount specified for each token.

Accepted tokens/blockchains​

Choose the tokens you wish to accept as payment 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 Payment widget:

<div
  class="DePayButton"
  label="Pay"
  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 payment​

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

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 payment.

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"
}
caution

Make sure your callback endpoint responds with 200, as otherwise the widget will not release the user. See payment flow.

info

Only successful payments are delivered to the configured callback.

info

Callback requests will retry any uncessfull response (response code was not 200) with an exponential backoff using the formula (retry_count * 4) + 15 + (rand(30) (retry_count + 1)) (i.e. 15, 16, 31, 96, 271, ... seconds + a random amount of time).

It will perform 25 retries over approx. 21 days.

Redirect user​

If you want to dynamically redirect users upon callback response, provide the location with forward_to as part of the callback response:

{
  "forward_to": "https://example.com/depay/success/1212391238123"
}

Configure events​

If you want your systems to be informed about the different events occuring during the payment flow, configure an events endpoint url for your integration on https://app.depay.com.

Once configured, event requests will execute a POST request to the specified URL.

Ensure you provide an HTTPS URL.

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

{
  "status": "attempt",
  "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"
}

status can be one of attempt, processing, failed or succeeded.

info

Event requests will retry any uncessfull response (response code was not 200) with an exponential backoff using the formula (retry_count * 4) + 15 + (rand(30) (retry_count + 1)) (i.e. 15, 16, 31, 96, 271, ... seconds + a random amount of time).

It will perform 25 retries over approx. 21 days.

Verify communication​

Copy the public key provided for your integration (on app.depay.com), store and use it in your application to verify all communication from DePay's APIs to your systems is authentic.

DePay's api calls 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.

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: JSON.stringify(req.body),
  publicKey,
});

if(!verified){ throw('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 to the button, such as for conveying dynamic prices or for initiating dynamic redirects after successful payments, 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 payments, 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 payment.

caution

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

Create private/public key​

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​

Best to use Homebrew.

brew update
brew install openssl

Generate private key​

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

Please ensure 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

-----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​

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 payment. In a basic setup, payments are denominated in tokens:

{
  "accept": [
    {
      "blockchain": "ethereum",
      "amount": 20,
      "token": "0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7",
      "receiver": "0x4e260bB2b25EC6F3A59B478fCDe5eD5B8D783B02"
    }
  ]
}

This configuration accepts 20 USDT on the Ethereum blockchain sent to 0x4e260bB2b25EC6F3A59B478fCDe5eD5B8D783B02 as payment.

info

When interacting with DePay, you always pass human readable amounts (not BigNumbers).

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

Sign your response​

For secure communication, DePay mandates the use of RSA-PSS to sign your response, specifying a salt length of 64 and utilizing the SHA256 hashing algorithm. Once signed, ensure that you encode the signature in a base64 URL-safe format and transmit it through the x-signature header:

X-Signature: 0Lt-bOwigLB_tPzWev5Iwe1YeWFWQ1fTi31wolfisWXuSKfuj53MujGfxkDli_A3R4IgFpgfEF6KmU1tDqYn2bId2HiFG6MYf5v25bhLscJnwAlGyVYMVmnxYyuPYsHMTZvZx61LSxC52TavRw4LN5wq9ux4nw4B30rnqCAaYKAZcUgpKgUwsMRToY0D8AwwW2mkkFk5rJKdx0LAnhz0dpGx5b5lc1v7UbcdzvteU8PBzyXcT2hQ-lMo8dTcdFM6tr_xJRrlxEOzeAKB3b2EfOKS_H9AtzICXT-NGc-HvgWKI56NURAheJweKdAvV7AF5atWTjSLnTFAHFl4NkLFsg==
caution

Ensure that you sign the response as string format and that the json string does not contain any line-breaks (\n) or unessary whitespace.

const { Buffer } = require("node:buffer");
import crypto from 'node:crypto';

const privateKeyString = process.env.MY_PRIVATE_KEY;
const privateKey = crypto.createPrivateKey(privateKeyString);

const configuration = {
  /// your dynamic configuration
}

const dataToSign = JSON.stringify(configuration);

const signature = crypto.sign('sha256', Buffer.from(dataToSign), {
  key: privateKey,
  padding: crypto.constants.RSA_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING,
  saltLength: 64,
});

const urlSafeBase64Signature = signature.toString('base64')
  .replace('+', '-')
  .replace('/', '_')
  .replace(/=+$/, '');

res.setHeader('x-signature', urlSafeBase64Signature);

return JSON.stringify(configuration) // make sure to return JSON without line-breaks (\n) or unnessary whitespace

Currency denomination​

To denominate accepted payments in a currency, such as USD, EUR, etc., use the amount attribute. The integration will then calculate and apply the amounts for each specified accepted token.

{
  "amount": {
    "currency": "USD",
    "fix": 100
  },
  "accept": [
    {
      "blockchain": "ethereum",
      "token": "0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7",
      "receiver": "0x4e260bB2b25EC6F3A59B478fCDe5eD5B8D783B02"
    },
    {
      "blockchain": "ethereum",
      "token": "0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE",
      "receiver": "0x4e260bB2b25EC6F3A59B478fCDe5eD5B8D783B02"
    }
  ]
}

This configuration will accept USD$100 worth of USDT or Ether (Ethereum's native token), send to 0x4e260bB2b25EC6F3A59B478fCDe5eD5B8D783B02.

info

0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE represents the native token of the respective chain. e.g. Ether on Ethereum, BNB on BSC, Matic on Polygon etc.

Passthrough payload​

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

<div
  class="DePayButton"
  label="Pay"
  integration="1f517a0d-5bf3-4095-a096-c6b11d8e4d91"
  blockchains='["ethereum","bsc"]'
  payload='{"items":[{"id": 1, "amount": 2}, {"id": 2, "amount": 1}]}'
></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:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "amount": 2
    },{
      "id": 2,
      "amount": 1
    }
  ]
}

Dynamic user flow/redirect​

For scenarios necessitating the redirection of users to dynamic URLs — which can vary per payment event, such as directing users to diverse confirmation screens — utilize the forward_to parameter within your dynamic configuration response:

{
  
  "forward_to": "https://example.com/depay/success/1212391238123"

}

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:

For an in-depth overview, explore the extended validation section.

Payment flow​

Successful payment​

Failed payment​

Only differs to a successful payment in regards of the validation result and everything happening after.

Ultimately instructing the user to retry the payment.
