Skip to main content
The WalletConnect Pay SDK is a TypeScript SDK for WalletConnect Pay that enables payment functionality for React Native wallet applications. The SDK uses a provider abstraction that allows different implementations based on your environment.

Requirements

  • React Native 0.70+
  • @walletconnect/react-native-compat installed and linked
As a wallet provider, you would first need to obtain an API key from WalletConnect. You can do this by filling out this form and getting in touch with our team.

Installation

Install the WalletConnect Pay SDK using npm or yarn:
npm install @walletconnect/pay

React Native Setup

This SDK requires the WalletConnect React Native native module. Make sure you have @walletconnect/react-native-compat installed and linked in your React Native project:
npm install @walletconnect/react-native-compat

Architecture

The SDK uses a provider abstraction that allows different implementations:
  • NativeProvider: Uses React Native uniffi module (current)
  • WasmProvider: Uses WebAssembly module (coming soon for web browsers)
The SDK auto-detects the best available provider for your environment.

Configuration

Initialize the WalletConnect Pay client with your credentials:
import { WalletConnectPay } from "@walletconnect/pay";

const client = new WalletConnectPay({
  projectId: "your-project-id",
  apiKey: "your-api-key",
});
Don’t have an API key? Fill out this form and get in touch with our team to obtain an API key.

Configuration Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
projectIdstringYesYour WalletConnect Cloud project ID
apiKeystringYesYour WalletConnect Pay API key
baseUrlstringNoCustom API base URL
loggerLoggerNoCustom logger instance or level
Don’t have a project ID? Create one at the WalletConnect Dashboard by signing up and creating a new project.

Supported Networks

WalletConnect Pay currently supports the following networks with USDC:
NetworkChain IDCAIP-10 Format
Ethereum1eip155:1:{address}
Base8453eip155:8453:{address}
Optimism10eip155:10:{address}
Polygon137eip155:137:{address}
Arbitrum42161eip155:42161:{address}
Support for all EVM chains, Solana, and additional native and non-native assets is coming soon. Include accounts for all supported networks to maximize payment options for your users.

Payment Flow

The payment flow consists of four main steps: Get Options → Get Actions → Sign Actions → Confirm Payment
1

Get Payment Options

When a user scans a payment QR code or opens a payment link, fetch available payment options:
const options = await client.getPaymentOptions({
  paymentLink: "https://pay.walletconnect.com/pay_123",
  accounts: [
    `eip155:1:${walletAddress}`,      // Ethereum Mainnet
    `eip155:137:${walletAddress}`,    // Polygon
    `eip155:8453:${walletAddress}`,   // Base
    `eip155:42161:${walletAddress}`,  // Arbitrum
  ],
  includePaymentInfo: true,
});

console.log("Payment ID:", options.paymentId);
console.log("Options:", options.options);

// Display merchant info
if (options.info) {
  console.log("Merchant:", options.info.merchant.name);
  console.log("Amount:", options.info.amount.display.assetSymbol, options.info.amount.value);
}

// Check if user data collection is required
if (options.collectData) {
  console.log("Required fields:", options.collectData.fields);
}
2

Get Required Actions

After the user selects a payment option, get the wallet RPC actions required to complete the payment:
const actions = await client.getRequiredPaymentActions({
  paymentId: options.paymentId,
  optionId: options.options[0].id,
});

// Each action contains wallet RPC data to sign
for (const action of actions) {
  console.log("Chain:", action.walletRpc.chainId);
  console.log("Method:", action.walletRpc.method);
  console.log("Params:", action.walletRpc.params);
}
3

Sign Actions

Sign each action with your wallet’s signing implementation:
// Sign each action with your wallet (implementation depends on your wallet SDK)
const signatures = await Promise.all(
  actions.map((action) =>
    wallet.signTypedData(
      action.walletRpc.chainId,
      JSON.parse(action.walletRpc.params)
    )
  )
);
Signatures must be in the same order as the actions array.
4

Collect User Data (If Required)

Some payments may require additional user data. Check for collectData in the payment options response:
let collectedData: CollectDataFieldResult[] | undefined;

if (options.collectData) {
  // Show UI to collect required fields
  collectedData = options.collectData.fields.map((field) => ({
    id: field.id,
    value: getUserInput(field.name, field.fieldType),
  }));
}
5

Confirm Payment

Submit the signatures and collected data to complete the payment:
const result = await client.confirmPayment({
  paymentId: options.paymentId,
  optionId: options.options[0].id,
  signatures,
  collectedData, // Include if collectData was present
});

if (result.status === "succeeded") {
  console.log("Payment successful!");
} else if (result.status === "processing") {
  console.log("Payment is processing...");
} else if (result.status === "failed") {
  console.log("Payment failed");
}

Complete Example

Here’s a complete implementation example:
import { WalletConnectPay, CollectDataFieldResult } from "@walletconnect/pay";

class PaymentManager {
  private client: WalletConnectPay;

  constructor() {
    this.client = new WalletConnectPay({
      projectId: "your-project-id",
      apiKey: "your-api-key",
    });
  }

  async processPayment(paymentLink: string, walletAddress: string) {
    try {
      // Step 1: Get payment options
      const options = await this.client.getPaymentOptions({
        paymentLink,
        accounts: [
          `eip155:1:${walletAddress}`,
          `eip155:137:${walletAddress}`,
          `eip155:8453:${walletAddress}`,
        ],
        includePaymentInfo: true,
      });

      if (options.options.length === 0) {
        throw new Error("No payment options available");
      }

      // Step 2: Let user select an option (simplified - use first option)
      const selectedOption = options.options[0];

      // Step 3: Get required actions
      const actions = await this.client.getRequiredPaymentActions({
        paymentId: options.paymentId,
        optionId: selectedOption.id,
      });

      // Step 4: Sign all actions
      const signatures = await Promise.all(
        actions.map((action) =>
          this.signAction(action, walletAddress)
        )
      );

      // Step 5: Collect user data if required
      let collectedData: CollectDataFieldResult[] | undefined;
      if (options.collectData) {
        collectedData = await this.collectUserData(options.collectData.fields);
      }

      // Step 6: Confirm payment
      const result = await this.client.confirmPayment({
        paymentId: options.paymentId,
        optionId: selectedOption.id,
        signatures,
        collectedData,
      });

      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Payment failed:", error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  private async signAction(action: Action, walletAddress: string): Promise<string> {
    const { chainId, method, params } = action.walletRpc;
    
    // Use your wallet's signing implementation
    return await wallet.signTypedData(chainId, JSON.parse(params));
  }

  private async collectUserData(fields: CollectDataField[]): Promise<CollectDataFieldResult[]> {
    // Implement your UI to collect user data
    return fields.map((field) => ({
      id: field.id,
      value: getUserInput(field.name, field.fieldType),
    }));
  }
}

Provider Utilities

The SDK provides utilities for checking provider availability:
import {
  isProviderAvailable,
  detectProviderType,
  isNativeProviderAvailable,
  setNativeModule,
} from "@walletconnect/pay";

// Check if any provider is available
if (isProviderAvailable()) {
  // SDK can be used
}

// Detect which provider type is available
const providerType = detectProviderType(); // 'native' | 'wasm' | null

// Check specifically for native provider
if (isNativeProviderAvailable()) {
  // React Native native module is available
}

// Manually inject native module (if auto-discovery fails)
import { NativeModules } from "react-native";
setNativeModule(NativeModules.RNWalletConnectPay);

Error Handling

The SDK throws typed errors for different failure scenarios:
import { 
  PayError, 
  PaymentOptionsError, 
  PaymentActionsError,
  ConfirmPaymentError,
  NativeModuleNotFoundError 
} from "@walletconnect/pay";

try {
  const options = await client.getPaymentOptions({
    paymentLink: link,
    accounts,
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof PaymentOptionsError) {
    console.error("Failed to get options:", error.originalMessage);
  } else if (error instanceof PayError) {
    console.error("Pay error:", error.code, error.message);
  }
}

Best Practices

  1. Check Provider Availability: Always check if a provider is available before using the SDK
  2. Account Format: Always use CAIP-10 format for accounts: eip155:{chainId}:{address}
  3. Multiple Chains: Provide accounts for all supported chains to maximize payment options
  4. Signature Order: Maintain the same order of signatures as the actions array
  5. Error Handling: Always handle errors gracefully and show appropriate user feedback
  6. Loading States: Show loading indicators during API calls and signing operations
  7. User Data: Only collect data when collectData is present in the response
