Using the Whalestack API

Unlock fast, secure, and effortless cryptocurrency payments with the Whalestack API. Once you've secured your API key post-registration, create a checkout or generate a blockchain deposit address. Whether it's Bitcoin, Lightning, Litecoin, Stellar, or another supported network, getting paid is straightforward. Plus, take advantage of fiat on- and off-ramping through SWIFT or SEPA.

Wallets and Deposits

With Whalestack, you instantly receive dedicated deposit addresses for Bitcoin, Lightning, Litecoin, Stellar, SWIFT, SEPA, and more. Begin receiving blockchain payments moments after signup. Use the GET /wallets and POST /deposit-address endpoints to fetch your blockchain addresses and initiate custom deposits.

Checkouts

Whalestack checkouts streamline customer payments. We offer a superior user experience with fully customizable hosted checkouts. If pre-built payment pages aren't your style, harness our backend checkout APIs for full control. Read our introduction to building checkouts or dive directly into the POST /checkout or POST /checkout/hosted endpoints.

Swaps and Transfers

Upon receiving funds, either through checkouts or custom deposits, you can immediately utilize them. Swap them across different assets or move them to a bank or blockchain account (though we suggest forwarding to cold storage for maximum security). Use the POST /swap and POST /transfer endpoints to explore swaps and transfers.

Transparent Financial Reporting

No more puzzling over complex blockchain payment trails. Whalestack aggregates all your transactions in the Financial Reports section in your account. You can even link transactions to specific counter-parties like customers (POST /customer) or beneficiaries (POST /beneficiary). We furnish you with CSV reports, visual charts, and insightful analytics, streamlining your accounting processes.

Building Checkouts

Begin by choosing between our fully customizable checkout page experience and the self-hosted option, where you harness our backend APIs to maintain complete control over the payment journey.

Option 1: Self-Hosted Checkouts

Deliver the checkout process under your brand within your web application. Opt for self-hosted backend API checkouts to ensure a seamless experience for users, keeping them within your application's ecosystem. Initiate whitelabel payments via the POST /checkout API endpoint.

Option 2: Checkout Pages

Our fully brandable hosted checkouts present the most straightforward way to receive payments on Whalestack. The POST /checkout/hosted API endpoint crafts a payment link. Whether directing users to whalestack.com or your own domain via Brand Connect, the process remains seamless. After obtaining the checkout URL, navigate your customer to the hosted page, and they're all set to pay. We notify you via webhooks, emails, or API polling, about inbound funds.

Below, find a step-by-step guide to creating a dynamic hosted checkout:

Example Request

curl -X POST https://www.whalestack.com/api/v1/checkout/hosted \
     -H "X-Digest-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -H "X-Digest-Signature: DIGEST_AUTH_SIGNATURE" \
     -H "X-Digest-Timestamp: TIMESTAMP" \
     -d "@charge.json"

Authentication is supplied via HTTP headers and charge.json is a JSON object:

Example Charge (minimal)

{
   "charge":{
      "billingCurrency":"EUR",
      "lineItems":[
         {
            "description":"PCI Graphics Card",
            "netAmount":169.99
         }
      ]
   },
   "settlementAsset":"USDC:GA5ZSEJYB37JRC5AVCIA5MOP4RHTM335X2KGX3IHOJAPP5RE34K4KZVN"
}

Above example creates a charge for an item priced at 169.99 EUR. You can configure more details, such as shipping costs, discounts, taxes, the related customer, as well as your preferred settlement asset as documented here.

Example Response (application/json)

{
   "id":"b5bcf27e5482",
   "url":"https://www.whalestack.com/en/checkout?id=b5bcf27e5482"
}

The API returns a unique identifier along with a hosted checkout URL, which you display back to your customer in order for him or her to complete payment. Once the funds are captured we notify you via WEBHOOK checkout-completed.

Receiving Payments

Cryptocurrency transactions differ from traditional credit card payments. Instead of merchants pulling funds using credit card details, cryptocurrency operates on a push model. This requires the customer to actively initiate and send the payment to the merchant.

Upon initiating a checkout, Whalestack vigilantly tracks the chosen blockchain for incoming payments.. There's a 60-minute window for the completion of the transaction. If the payment isn't finalized within this period, it's marked as expired. However, delayed payments that eventually come through are still accepted.

After successfully receiving the payment, your balance gets updated, your dashboard reflects the changes, and a webhook callback is dispatched to your server. This ensures the automated processing of the order in your system via the WEBHOOK checkout-completed mechanism.

Example Webhook (application/json)

   "eventType":"CHECKOUT_COMPLETED",

      }
   }
}

The webhook contains a JSON object in the HTTP request body and informs you about incoming payments and their attributes as specified in WEBHOOK checkout-completed. In above example the customer paid in BTC and the merchant got credited in USDC.

Brand Connect by Whalestack

Whalestack's Brand Connect infuses your Whalestack checkout experience with your unique brand identity. Whether it's your distinct logo, thematic images, or a UI tailored to your brand's aesthetics, Brand Connect ensures your checkout pages feel like an organic extension of your platform. Choose between hosting on whalestack.com or deploy on your own domain with our straightforward docker container setup.

Brand Connect is the ideal solution for payment service providers aiming to harness Whalestack's comprehensive checkout system while maintaining their own distinctive brand presentation. This includes adept handling of transaction nuances like overpayments, underpayments, refunds, or multi-transactions. Yet, even if you're not a service provider but just want a consistent visual experience for your online shop, Brand Connect is your go-to.

Branding Customization

Setting up your tailored checkout appearance is straightforward with our Brand Connect interface in your account settings. Here's how to personalize your brand:

Activate Brand Connect in your account settings
Proceed to modify Brand Information, Images, Fonts, and Colors within the settings.

Once configured, your checkout pages will seamlessly blend with your branding - logo, favicon, tailored crypto images, font preferences, and color schemes. Inspecting your checkout, you'll notice a flawless integration with no sign of Whalestack as the underlying service provider.

Custom Web Domain Setup

By default, Brand Connect runs on the whalestack.com domain. However, if you aspire for a deeper brand immersion, you can direct your checkouts through your own web domain. This is ideal for those providing payment services who wish to seamlessly embed Whalestack's capabilities while retaining their distinct brand aura throughout.

This integration is achieved via the Brand Connect docker container (GitHub). By placing it in your hosting setup and making a few DNS tweaks, you enable a checkout flow that's entirely in sync with your brand identity. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Activate Brand Connect in your account settings
Refine your Brand Information, Images, Fonts, and Colors in settings
Designate your custom web domain for checkouts and get your WS_BRANDING_KEY (after completing the above steps)
Implement the Brand Connect docker container alongside your SSL certificate
Redirect your web domain's DNS to the IP address hosting the docker container.

And voila! Your Whalestack checkout pages are now an integral part of your domain, reflecting your unique brand essence. Dive deeper on GitHub.

Ensuring Secure Authentication

The Whalestack API primarily demands authentication. Distinctly, API endpoints are classified as either public () or protected (). To access a protected endpoint, authenticate your request using your API key via the Basic-Auth or more secure Digest-Auth method. To effortlessly verify your authentication method, employ the GET /auth-test endpoint.

Securing Your API Credentials

Head to the API Settings to retrieve your API key and secret. Here, you can also set your favored authentication strategy and amplify security by enabling "IP-address whitelisting". In case of any suspicion regarding your API secret's safety, you have the provision to regenerate it from these settings.

Digest-Auth: Our Recommended Choice

We advocate for the Digest-Auth method when tapping into protected Whalestack API endpoints. Essential headers for every request include X-Digest-Key, X-Digest-Signature, and X-Digest-Timestamp, all elaborated in the subsequent sections.

Request

curl 'https://www.whalestack.com/api/v1/auth-test' \
     -H "X-Digest-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -H "X-Digest-Signature: DIGEST_AUTH_SIGNATURE" \
     -H "X-Digest-Timestamp: UNIX_TIMESTAMP"

Request Headers

Key	Type	Description
`X-Digest-Key`	string	Your Whalestack API key.	mandatory
`X-Digest-Signature`	string	Unique Digest-Auth Signature (see below).	mandatory
`X-Digest-Timestamp`	integer	Current Unix timestamp (also see `GET /time`).	mandatory

The X-Digest-Signature is generated by creating a SHA256 HMAC hash using your API Secret as the shared secret in the message digest. The encrypted payload is composed as follows:
ENDPOINT_PATH . UNIX_TIMESTAMP . REQUEST_METHOD . REQUEST_BODY, where . represents string concatenation.

X-Digest-Signature Components

Component	Type	Description
`ENDPOINT_PATH`	string	The path of the endpoint that is being invoked, e.g. `/auth-test` in lower case.
`UNIX_TIMESTAMP`	integer	Current Unix timestamp. Must be less than 30 seconds old (also see `GET /time`).
`REQUEST_METHOD`	string	The request method, e.g. `POST` or `GET` in upper case.
`REQUEST_BODY`	string	The request body string. Only needed in `POST`, `PUT`, or `DELETE` requests. Set `null` for `GET` requests.

Code Example (PHP)

$path = '/auth-test'
$timestamp = time();
$method = 'GET';
$body = $method == 'GET' ? null : json_encode($params);
$secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET';

$signature = hash_hmac('sha256', $path . $timestamp . $method . $body, $secret);

Code Example (Ruby)

require 'openssl'

path = '/auth-test'
timestamp = Time.now.to_i
method = 'GET'
body = method == 'GET' ? NIL : params.to_json
secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET'

signature = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest('sha256', secret, path + timestamp.to_s + method + body.to_s)

Code Example (NodeJS)

require('crypto');

let path = '/auth-test'
let timestamp = Date.now() / 1000 | 0;
let method = 'GET'
let body = method === 'GET' ? '' : JSON.stringify(params)
let secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET'

let signature = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)
                .update(path + timestamp + method + body)
                .digest('hex');

View these examples if you are unsure how to create an HMAC SHA256 signature in your programming language.

Basic-Auth

You can choose to use a basic authentication header, which is easier to implement (as it is a static hash over your API key and secret) but less secure than Digest-Auth. We recommend to use Basic-Auth during development or in test environments only.

Request

curl 'https://www.whalestack.com/api/v1/auth-test' \
     -H "X-Basic: BASIC_AUTH_HASH"

Request Headers

Key	Type	Description
`X-Basic`	string	SHA256 hash over `YOUR_API_KEY:YOUR_API_SECRET`	mandatory

Code Example

$key = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET';

$basicAuthHash = hash('sha256', $key . ':' . $secret);

IP Address Whitelisting

Use the API Settings to configure whether your API account can be accessed from any IP address or whitelisted IP addresses only. IP address whitelisting is recommended for production environments as it dramatically increases security. Withdrawal endpoints can only be accessed from whitelisted IP addresses.

POST /checkout protected

Kickstart your self-hosted payment process by initializing a checkout. This endpoint lets you craft a checkout right on your server, allowing full autonomy over its UI or API. For an alternative that automates a checkout page on Whalestack's infrastructure, consider the POST /checkout/hosted. If you are new to initializing a checkout process, we recommend starting here.

To interact with this endpoint you'll need to provide a charge object, which encompasses line items, potential additions like shipping fees or discounts, and applicable taxes. For a more personalized touch and invoice generation, link the charge to a specific customer. You also get the leverage to dictate the settlement currency, which could diverge from the charge's denomination or the currency chosen by your customer. A successful interaction with this endpoint furnishes you with an array of payment methods and their respective amounts, all set to be presented to your clientele.

Your customers can then cherry-pick their favored payment modality (for instance, Bitcoin). After their selection, submit a fresh request infused with the chosen blockchain and its relevant checkout ID to POST /checkout/commit, which returns deposit instructions to be displayed to your customer. As soon as the checkout commitment is in place, Whalestack's system diligently scans the blockchain for incoming payments, keeping you in the loop about payment progressions via the WEBHOOK checkout-completed.

Do note, checkouts declare a payment intent and designed for one-time use. Always initiate a brand-new checkout for each transaction.

Example Request

curl -X POST https://www.whalestack.com/api/v1/checkout \
     -d "@payload.json"

Where payload.json is a JSON object.

Example Payload (Minimal)

{
   "charge":{

   },
   "settlementAsset":"USDC:GA5ZSEJYB37JRC5AVCIA5MOP4RHTM335X2KGX3IHOJAPP5RE34K4KZVN"
}

Explanation of Above Payload Configuration

Above is the minimal configuration required to initiate a checkout. The charge is denominated in EUR and has exactly one line item at a cost of 169.99 EUR. The payment amount charged to by your customer in his crypto of choice is calculated against the total billing amount specified here.

Request Params (POST)

Linking Customers

Provide a charge.customerId as given by POST /customer to automatically link the checkout to a customer. Linking payments with customers helps with your accounting, provides more details in your transaction history and allows you to send out automated invoices and payment status notifications.

Total Amount Formula

The total amount calculation is executed using the following formula.
$net = sum($lineItems) - sum($discountItems) + sum($shippingCostItems)
$taxableSum = $net - sum($shippingCostItems) + sum($taxableShippingCostItems)
$total = $net + ($taxableSum * sum($taxItems))

Next Step

Your application displays the payment methods received in the response back to your customer. The customer then selects his preferred payment method and your server submits the selected network identifier in a new API request to the POST /checkout/commit endpoint. In return you receive the deposit address for the selected blockchain for display to your customer. Continue here.

POST/checkout/commitprotected

This endpoint serves as a vital continuation of the checkout process, which was initiated through POST /checkout. If you are new to initializing a checkout process, we recommend starting here.

When making a request to this endpoint, you'll need to provide a checkoutId and a network, as obtained from the POST /checkout request. If the selected network supports multiple assets, you'll also need to include an asset (if omitted, the network's default asset is used). Upon a successful request, you will receive deposit information, which should be presented to your customer to facilitate the payment process.

Once this endpoint is invoked, Whalestack initiates real-time monitoring of the relevant blockchain network. When the payment is completed, your server is automatically notified via the WEBHOOK checkout-completed. Alternatively, you can periodically check the payment status by using GET /checkout after displaying the deposit information to your customer.

In the preceding step, POST /checkout provided you with a list of available payment methods, as illustrated below:

POST /checkout/hosted protected

This endpoint generates and delivers a unique URL that points to a checkout page, fully managed on Whalestack servers. For a more hands-on approach where you oversee the UI and checkout flow, consider the POST /checkout endpoint instead. If you are new to initializing a checkout process, we recommend starting here.

By invoking this endpoint, your server provides parameters encompassing payment specifics, optional tax line items, customer data, and desired settlement currency. In exchange, your server obtains a checkout URL, ready to be showcased to your clientele.

On accessing this URL, customers meet a user-friendly checkout page housed on Whalestack's infrastructure. This interactive page lays out all essential information to facilitate the payment process. Once the transaction concludes, our system instantly informs your application through WEBHOOK checkout-completed. For those keen on proactiveness, the GET /checkout endpoint lets you continuously monitor the payment status.

Designed for adaptability, Whalestack's hosted checkouts seamlessly adjust to both mobile displays and expansive desktop screens. Fine-tune their look to resonate with your brand aesthetics using Brand Connect.

Remember, each hosted checkout URL is distinct and single-use. Ensure you generate a fresh URL for every new transaction.

Webhook Concepts

Webhooks serve as a mechanism to relay information to your server in real-time when specific events occur, such as successful payments or discrepancies like underpayments during checkout.

For those looking to automate workflows within their application, webhooks are indispensable. They facilitate automatic procedures, allowing actions like confirming a customer checkout or kickstarting the delivery of goods and services.

Defining the Webhook URL

Your designated webhook URL is defined during your initial API call, be it through POST /checkout, POST /checkout/hosted, or POST /deposit-address. While you can set default webhook URLs in your API settings, any URL provided during API calls will take precedence. Upon specifying a webhook URL, our system promptly informs you through an HTTP POST for pertinent events.

Understanding Webhook Events

Webhook events are activated in scenarios such as a successful checkout completion (WEBHOOK checkout-completed) or anomalies like an underpayment (WEBHOOK checkout-underpaid). As we continually enhance our platform, stay tuned for more webhook events. You can explore a comprehensive list of webhook events in the left-hand menu.

Webhook Anatomy

Envision a webhook as a conventional HTTP POST request emanating from our end to your server. This request comprises HTTP headers, which can assist in authenticating its origin, along with an HTTP body that encapsulates the core data, detailing the webhook event type and relevant data.

Webhook Headers

POST / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Whalestack Webhook Engine 1.0.1
Host: www.merchant.com
Accept: */*
Content-Type: application/json
Connection: close
X-Webhook-Auth: 06b7ff792a30a172c51c163f666dd6908d85fdda78451b36de9f3f8e985412be
Content-Length: 532

Webhook Body

{
  "eventType": "CHECKOUT_COMPLETED",
  "data": {...}
}

Webhook Payload Attributes

Name	Type	Description	Nullable
`.eventType`	string	Indicates the webhook event type. Different types have different payloads and you should implement a parser for each event type. Valid types are: `CHECKOUT_COMPLETED`, `CHECKOUT_UNDERPAID`, `UNDERPAID_ACCEPTED`, `DEPOSIT_PENDING`, `DEPOSIT_COMPLETED`, `SWAP_COMPLETED`, `SWAP_FAILED`, `TRANSFER_COMPLETED`, `TRANSFER_FAILED`.	false
`.data`	string	An object containing the payload associated with this event type.	false

Parsing Webhook Payloads

Webhook payloads differ between event types. Your system should inspect the eventType and implement a parser for each event type you want to support.

Example: Parsing Based on Event Type (PHP)

$payload = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"), true);
$type = $payload['eventType'];
$data = $payload['data'];

switch($type) {
    case('CHECKOUT_COMPLETED'):
        // do something when a checkout was successfully completed (and your account is credited)
        break;
    case('CHECKOUT_UNDERPAID'):
        // do something when a checkout was underpaid (and your account is not credited yet)
        break;
    case('UNDERPAID_ACCEPTED'):
        // do something when an underpaid checkout was manually accepted (and your account is credited)
        break;
    case('DEPOSIT_PENDING'):
        // do something when a deposit was detected on chain but is still unconfirmed (and your account is not credited yet)
        break;
    case('DEPOSIT_COMPLETED'):
        // do something when a deposit completed (and your account is credited)
        break;
    case('SWAP_COMPLETED'):
        // do something when a swap completed (and funds in your account are exchanged)
        break;
    case('SWAP_FAILED'):
        // do something when a swap failed (and no funds are affected)
        break;
    case('TRANSFER_COMPLETED'):
        // do something when a transfer completed (and your account is debited)
        break;
    case('TRANSFER_FAILED'):
        // do something when a transfer failed (and no funds were affected)
        break;
    break;
}

Webhook Authentication

Add additional security to your endpoint and prevent spoofing by parsing the X-Webhook-Auth header and verifying its value.

Verify the request was sent by the Whalestack platform by creating a hash hash('sha256', YOUR_API_SECRET . WEBHOOK_REQUEST_BODY) (where . represents concatenation) and matching it against the X-Webhook-Auth header value.

Example: Authentication Check (PHP)

$authHeader = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_WEBHOOK_AUTH'];
$payload = file_get_contents("php://input");

if ($authHeader != hash('sha256', $yourApiSecret . $payload)) {
    // this is not a valid webhook
}

Responding to Webhooks

Respond with HTTP 200 OK. Your server must respond with a status code of 200 in the HTTP response after it successfully parsed and persisted the webhook payload. Our system will keep sending webhook requests for up to 48 hours in increasing intervals until we detect a 200 status code. If we don't receive an HTTP status code of 200 for longer than that, the webhook expires and stops trying.

Inspecting Webhook History

Inspect webhooks sent by Whalestack along with your HTTP responses in the platform's webhook logs.

This can be extremely useful during implementation phase because it helps to debug issues in the HTTP requests and responses.

WEBHOOK EVENTcheckout-completed

This webhook event is triggered when a customer payment successfully completed, your Whalestack wallet was credited, and it is safe to ship any goods or services.

Webhook Payload Attributes

Name	Type	Description	Nullable
`.eventType`	string	Indicates the webhook event type (`CHECKOUT_COMPLETED`).	false
`.data`	object	Contains an object of type `checkout`.	false
`.checkout`	object	An object of type `checkout` with a `COMPLETED` state as documented in `GET checkout`	false

WEBHOOK EVENTcheckout-underpaid

This webhook event is triggered when a customer payment was captured but the payment amount was less than expected. In this situation funds have not been credited to your account and you should not ship any goods or services yet.

Unresolved payments are listed in your UI dashboard and contain action options, such as issuing a refund or accepting the underpaid checkout by issuing a custom discount.

If this is a checkout of type HOSTED and you associated a customer with this checkout, our system automatically notifies the customer with instructions on how to complete checkout and pay the remaining difference.

If this is a checkout of type SELF-HOSTED or you did not associate it with a customer, you should notify your user to send another payment covering the difference between sourceAmountRequired and sourceAmountReceived. The payment should be sent to the same deposit address originally associated with this checkout.
