Integration Guide

Step-by-step guide to integrate Sendy X402 payments into your application. Learn how to implement payment endpoints and handle transactions. Integration Overview: Sendy X402 provides a simple REST API for handling payments. Here's what you need to know: API Endpoints: - POST /api/payment/process - Initiate a payment - POST /api/payment/verify - Verify payment completion - GET /api/content/[id] - Fetch protected content Implementation Steps: 1. Setup Your Environment - Install the Sendy X402 SDK - Configure your API keys - Set up environment variables 2. Create Payment Endpoints - Define your pricing structure - Implement payment verification - Handle transaction callbacks 3. Protect Your Content - Add payment checks to your routes - Return HTTP 402 for unpaid access - Implement content delivery after payment 4. Frontend Integration - Add MetaMask connection - Implement payment UI - Handle transaction confirmation Example Code: ```javascript const response = await fetch('/api/payment/process', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({ amount: 0.01, currency: 'BNB', contentId: 'article-1' }) }) ``` Best Practices: - Always verify payments server-side - Implement proper error handling - Use HTTPS for all transactions - Store transaction history for auditing
Security

Security Best Practices

Essential security guidelines for implementing Sendy X402 payments. Protect your users and your platform with these proven practices. Security is paramount when handling blockchain transactions. Follow these guidelines to ensure your implementation is secure: Wallet Security: - Never store private keys on your server - Always use hardware wallets for large amounts - Implement multi-signature wallets for critical operations - Educate users about phishing attacks Transaction Security: - Verify all transactions server-side - Implement rate limiting on payment endpoints - Use nonces to prevent replay attacks - Monitor for suspicious activity Smart Contract Security: - Audit all smart contracts before deployment - Use established libraries and patterns - Implement emergency pause mechanisms - Test thoroughly on testnet first User Protection: - Display clear transaction confirmations - Show gas fees before transactions - Implement transaction timeouts - Provide transaction history and receipts Compliance: - Follow local regulations for payments - Implement KYC/AML if required - Maintain audit logs - Report suspicious transactions Common Vulnerabilities to Avoid: 1. Front-running attacks 2. Reentrancy vulnerabilities 3. Integer overflow/underflow 4. Unchecked external calls 5. Improper access controls Testing: - Use testnet for development - Implement comprehensive test coverage - Perform security audits - Monitor production for anomalies
