How it works

Anyone can setup an account in 5 seconds and start creating invoices. A unique link is generated for each invoice which can be shared with the customer. At checkout, the customer is presented with a BIP21 invoice that they can pay from a BIP21-enabled wallet (Still not mainstream). Luckily BPP has fallbacks for SegWit P2WPKH addresses and BOLT 11 lightning invoice. BPP listens for a payment and once settled, notifies the user and customer.

Wallets

For the best experience, users link their wallets at onboarding:

  • Bitcoin Wallet: BPP generates a watch-only BTC wallet through your extended public key, which is also used to generate addresses for your invoices.

  • Lightning: Users have to connect their lnd nodes by providing: Server IP:Port, Hex values of their admin.macaroon and tls.cert files

Getting Started

Backend:

% cd backend
% npm i
% npm run dev

Before you run npm run dev:

Make the necessary changes to config/config.json. We use Sequelize to interact with our MySQL database. You can use any relational database you want. Ensure you have sequelize-cli installed, then run npx sequelize-cli db:migrate. You can now run npm run dev at which point, you should see Database Connected Successfully in your terminal.

Frontend:

% git clone https://github.com/tobi-bams/BTC-Payment-Processor.git
% cd frontend
% npm i
% npm start

One more thing: Create a .env file in your backend root set your JWT token variable e.g: JWT_SECRET_TOKEN=Secret

You are now ready to start creating invoices and accepting Bitcoin.

Pending:

  • Integrating Submarine Swaps. This introduces convenience for the merchant and their clients.
  • Adding integrations for conventional ecommerce platforms like WooCommerce and Shopify so merchants can accept Bitcoin Payments.
