Solana Integration

WhiskyPay’s core offering is built on the Solana blockchain, providing merchants with a fast, low-fee payment solution for accepting cryptocurrency payments. Solana’s high throughput and low transaction costs make it an ideal blockchain for payment processing.

​
Why Solana?

Solana offers several advantages for payment processing:
  • High Performance: Up to 65,000 TPS with sub-second finality
  • Low Fees: Transactions typically cost less than $0.01
  • Rich Token Ecosystem: Support for SOL, USDC, BONK, JUP, and many other tokens
  • Growing Adoption: Increasing user base and wallet support

​
Integration Overview

The Solana integration consists of:
  • WhiskyPay SDK: React components for accepting Solana-based payments
  • Payment Gateway: Handles transaction verification and confirmations
  • Token Swaps: Jupiter integration for accepting payments in any Solana token

​
Key Features

  • Multi-Token Support: Accept payments in SOL, USDC, JUP, BONK, and more
  • Wallet Integration: Works with popular wallets like Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack
  • Automatic Conversions: Option to automatically convert payments to stablecoins
  • Payment Verification: On-chain verification of all transactions
  • Session Management: Stateful payment sessions with expiration handling

​
Getting Started

To start accepting Solana payments:
  1. Register as a merchant on the WhiskyPay platform
  2. Install the WhiskyPay SDK
  3. Add the WhiskyPay payment components to your application
See the Solana Quickstart guide for detailed implementation instructions.

​
Requirements

  • Node.js 16+
  • React 16.8+ (for hooks support)
  • Solana-compatible wallet (for testing)

​
Example Implementation

Here’s a simple example of implementing the Solana payment flow: 
import { createSession, PaymentModal } from '@whisky-peak/whisky-pay-sdk';

function CheckoutPage() {
  const [sessionId, setSessionId] = useState(null);
  
  const handleCheckout = async () => {
    const merchantId = 'your-saas-id';
    const session = await createSession(
      merchantId,
      'customer@example.com',
      'premium-plan'
    );
    
    if (session) {
      setSessionId(session);
    }
  };
  
  return (
    <div>
      {!sessionId ? (
        <button onClick={handleCheckout}>
          Pay with Crypto
        </button>
      ) : (
        <PaymentModal
          sessionId={sessionId}
          RPC_URL="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"
          onRedirect={() => window.location.href = '/thank-you'}
        />
      )}
    </div>
  );
}
