Quick Start

Get your first crypto payment up and running in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

• A DonutMe account (sign up here)
• A crypto wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet)

Step 1: Create a Project

1. Log in to the DonutMe Dashboard
2. Click Create Project
3. Fill in your project name and description
4. Select your preferred networks (e.g., Ethereum Sepolia for testing)

Step 2: Set Up a Payment Plan

1. Navigate to your project's Payment Plans section
2. Click Create Payment Plan
3. Configure the plan:
   • Name: e.g., "Basic Plan"
   • Amount: The payment amount in USD
   • Recipient Address: Your wallet address to receive funds
   • Supported Tokens: Select which tokens to accept (USDT, USDC, etc.)

Step 3: Generate a Payment Link

Once your payment plan is created, you'll get a shareable payment link:

https:"text-neutral-500">//donutme.xyz/en/pay/{linkId}/checkout

Share this link with your customers. They'll see a professional checkout page where they can connect their wallet and complete the payment.

Step 4: Handle Payment Events

Set up a webhook to receive real-time payment notifications:

1. Go to your project's Settings → Webhooks
2. Click Add Endpoint
3. Enter your server URL (e.g., https://your-server.com/webhook)
4. Select the events you want to receive (payment.confirmed, payment.failed)
5. Save — DonutMe will send a signed POST request to your endpoint for each event

See the Webhooks guide for payload format and signature verification.

Step 5: Verify Payments

When a payment completes, your webhook endpoint receives:

{
  "event": "payment.confirmed",
  "data": {
    "transactionId": "tx_...",
    "amount": "10.00",
    "token": "USDT",
    "network": "ethereum-sepolia",
    "txHash": "0x...",
    "status": "completed"
  }
}
