Quickstart

Create your merchant account

Sign in to the merchant dashboard with your email (passwordless — we send a code), then create your business profile. Accounts are approved quickly.

Create an API key

Dashboard → API keys → Create key. The full key (mk_live_…) is shown once — store it server-side, never in frontend code.

Create a payment intent

curl -X POST https://api.puffinmoney.com/v1/gateway/api/payment-intents \
  -H "X-API-Key: mk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "amount": "25.00",
    "token": "USDC_SOL",
    "chain": "SOLANA",
    "customerEmail": "buyer@example.com",
    "successUrl": "https://yourstore.com/thanks"
  }'

{
  "intent": { "id": "9b1f…", "status": "PENDING", "walletAddress": "7xKX…", "expiresAt": "…" },
  "checkoutUrl": "/pay/9b1f…"
}

Send your customer to checkout

Redirect to https://pay.puffinmoney.com/pay/<intent-id> — they see the amount, a QR code, and a live status that confirms the moment the payment lands.

Get notified

Add a webhook endpoint and listen for payment.confirmed. Payment intents expire after 30 minutes if unpaid.

Prefer zero backend code? Use payment links or the iframe SDK.
