Running the Payment Protocol Demo

Node

The node payment protocol demonstration will run automatically via:

$ node examples/PayPro

You will see the server and customer logs output in the terminal.

Browser

To run our payment protocol demonstration in the browser, you may run:

$ node examples/PayPro/server.js -b -p 8080

This will start the payment protocol demonstration server in browser mode, which serves outputs in the payment protocol request (don't worry, it doesn't ask for too many testnet coins).

Once the server is started, you can visit it in your browser:

$ chromium https://localhost:8080/

You will see a simple checkout page to buy some imaginary products. Once you press checkout, you will see all the server and client logs in the browser as well as the terminal.

If you're connected to enough peers, your transaction will be broadcast throughout the bitcoin testnet network and hopefully ACKed by your peers.

Logs

Your logs may ultimately look something like this:

Customer: Our payment was acknowledged!
Customer: Message from Merchant: Thank you for your payment!
Customer: Payment sent successfully.

Changing the server address contained in outputs

If you want to alter the address or public key the testnet coins get sent to by the payment server, you can pass in the --pubkey or --address options. address has to be a testnet address, whereas pubkey is a hex encoded public key. The --privkey option is also available in the standard bitcoind privkey format.

Other Options

If you you're not connected to enough peers to broadcast your transaction (by default, this example only connects to the core seed peers), you can enable peer discovery in bitcore by passing the --discovery (-d) argument onto the server command line.

If you don't want to actually broadcast your transaction and want to keep your testnet coins, you can pass --no-tx on the server command line.

If you don't want the tests to run automatically and simply host the payment server, simply pass --browser (-b) as mentioned above.

Using the example in a modular manner

var server = require('bitcore/examples/PayPro');
server.listen(8080);
