Simulate the payment lifecycle for all supported assets before configuring a wallet.

Open guide

Before you start​

  • Create a free Manatee account.
  • Use a dedicated wallet or wallet account for merchant payments.
  • Start with a test network: BTC/BCH Testnet4 XMR Stagenet
  • Prepare a public HTTPS webhook endpoint. Local development can use a secure tunnel.
important

Never submit a seed phrase, private spend key, or wallet password. BTC and BCH use read-only public wallet data. XMR uses a private view key, which reveals incoming activity but cannot spend funds.

  2. Create a payment from your backend with an idempotency key.
  3. Show the returned address, exact amount, network, and expiry to the customer.
  4. Verify signed payment.detected and payment.confirmed webhooks.
  5. Update the order idempotently and reconcile against the payment API.
