merchant.py is a daemon that manages payments for a web server. It |
|
creates Bitcoin addresses using a master public key (so you do not |
|
leave your private keys on the server), detects when payments are |
|
received and notifies your web application. |
|
|
|
The workflow goes like this: |
|
|
|
- the server sends a request to the daemon via POST. the request |
|
contains an ID, an amount to be paid, an expiration period. |
|
|
|
- the daemon answers with a Bitcoin address, where the customer needs |
|
to send the coins. |
|
|
|
- later, the daemon will send a POST to the webserver, to notify that |
|
payment has been received OR that the request has expired |
|
|
|
|
|
Since addresses are generated using an Electrum master public key, it |
|
is possible to visualize payments in the Electrum client; you will, |
|
however, need to manually adjust your "gap limit". |
|
|
|
In order to use this script, first edit and rename |
|
merchant.conf.template to merchant.conf
