Solana Pay Scaffold

This repo is intended to help you get up and running quickly when building an application using Solana Pay. It supports both transaction and transfer requests, and both Solana Pay QR codes and using a connected wallet in the browser are available.

To test transaction requests, simply change the transaction returned by the /api/transaction route. To debug, use a connected wallet and the returned transaction and expected signers will be displayed in the console:

Getting Started

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Installation

npm install
# or
yarn install

Build and Run

Next, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the transaction request page by modifying src/pages/index.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/transaction. This endpoint can be edited in src/pages/api/transaction.ts.

Scanning QR codes

Solana Pay only works with https URLs, so you won't be able to scan QR codes from a http://localhost or http://192.168... domain with a wallet.

The easiest way in dev is to use ngrok. Once you install it you'll be able to run ngrok http 3000 to get your app running on an https ngrok subdomain. Visiting that subdomain will be identical to your localhost, including hot reloading. But because it's public and https, you'll be able to scan Solana Pay QR codes with any compatible wallet.

Reference

The reference in Solana Pay refers to a unique public key that is included as an account in a transaction, so that we can listen for a transaction including it. It doesn't affect the behavior of the transaction, and is neither a signer nor writeable.

When we create a transaction request QR code we don't know what transaction is going to be created. The API can return any transaction, and can for example choose to return different transactions based on the user requesting the transaction.

We can use the findReference function to find a transaction on-chain with the given reference. This allows us to display the QR code on one device, scan it and sign/send the transaction in a wallet on a different device/network, and detect it on the device displaying the QR code (or anywhere else) immediately, without knowing anything about the transaction beforehand - except that it will include the reference. An example hook that listens for transactions with a given reference is at useTransactionListener.tsx.
