Accept crypto payments in Python

Add non-custodial crypto checkout to your Python app: create an invoice, send the buyer to the hosted checkout, and fulfill on a signed webhook. Funds settle straight to your own wallet, $0 platform fees.

Install

Create an invoice and redirect to checkout

from shieldz import Shieldz
shieldz = Shieldz(os.environ["SHIELDZ_API_KEY"])
invoice = shieldz.invoices.create(amount_usd_cents=5000, memo="Order")
# redirect the buyer to invoice["pay_url"]

Verify the webhook

from shieldz import construct_event, SignatureVerificationError
try:
    event = construct_event(raw_body, sig_header, os.environ["SHIELDZ_WEBHOOK_SECRET"])
except SignatureVerificationError:
    ...  # reject the request
if event["type"] == "invoice.paid":
    ...  # fulfill the order
