Direct settlement

Your customer pays your Bitcoin wallet.

Manatee creates the payment destination, observes the network and reports status. Funds never pass through a Manatee wallet.

Merchant-controlled wallet

Configure a dedicated read-only receive descriptor or extended public key. Manatee cannot sign or spend Bitcoin.

Managed network monitoring

Use Bitcoin Testnet4 for integration testing and Bitcoin mainnet for production payments.

Signed payment events

Use HMAC-signed detected and confirmed webhooks to update your order system safely and idempotently.

One lifecycle across BTC, BCH and XMR.

Test first, verify webhooks, then move the same integration pattern to production.
