npm install- Generate and save private key:
$ node -p "require('btcpay').crypto.generate_keypair().getPrivate('hex')"
>>> <Key priv: XXXXXXX pub: null >Store the value of "priv" in a save place, e.g. environment variables
After generating your private key, you have to pair your client with your BTCPay store:
- On BTCPay Server > Stores > Settings > Access Tokens > Create a new token, (leave PublicKey blank) > Request pairing
- Copy pairing code:
- Pair client to server and save returned token:
# Replace the BTCPAY_XXX envirnoment variables with your values and run:
$ [space] BTCPAY_URL=https://mydomain.com/ BTCPAY_KEY=... BTCPAY_PAIRCODE=... node -e "const btcpay=require('btcpay'); new btcpay.BTCPayClient(process.env.BTCPAY_URL, btcpay.crypto.load_keypair(Buffer.from(process.env.BTCPAY_KEY, 'hex'))).pair_client(process.env.BTCPAY_PAIRCODE).then(console.log).catch(console.error)"
# (prepend the line with a space to prevent BTCPAY_KEY from being saved to your bash history)
>>> { merchant: 'XXXXXX' }# In Windows Powershell, execute these commands one by one:
$env:BTCPAY_URL='https://mydomain.com/'
$env:BTCPAY_KEY='KEY'
$env:BTCPAY_PAIRCODE='PAIRCODE'
