Accept Zcash payments

Accept shielded Zcash, private, off-ledger payments that settle to your own unified address.

Shieldz uses a Zcash view-only (UFVK) key to watch for shielded payments to your address. It can see that you were paid, but never spend, the spending key never leaves you.

How it works

Create an invoice, send your customer to the hosted checkout, and get a signed webhook the moment the ZEC payment lands, funds settle straight to your wallet. Shieldz is non-custodial: it only ever holds a public key.

curl https://shieldz.cash/api/v1/invoices \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…" \
  -d '{ "amount_usd_cents": 5000, "memo": "Order #1234" }'

Buyers can pay with Zcash or other supported coins. See supported coins, the API docs, and official SDKs.
