Quickstart

This guide walks through the canonical flow for receiving payments via Request Network: creating a payment destination and Client ID in the Dashboard, registering a webhook for payment notifications, and creating a payment link. Every other use-case page links back to specific steps here.

Overview

The flow involves three services:

Dashboard (dashboard.request.network) — Sign in with your wallet, create payment destinations, and generate Client IDs
Auth API (auth.request.network) — Programmatic alternative for Client IDs, and the home of webhooks
Request API (api.request.network) — Create payment links (secure payments)

Your wallet session cookie (session_token) is shared across dashboard.request.network, auth.request.network, and api.request.network — so signing in once on the Dashboard gives you access to the API docs as well.

Prerequisites

An EVM wallet (e.g. MetaMask) or a Tron wallet (e.g. TronLink) that will receive payments
The ability to sign messages with that wallet

Open the Dashboard

Go to dashboard.request.network.

Connect and sign

Connect your EVM or Tron wallet and sign the authentication message when prompted.

Active session

Once signed in, you have an active wallet session. This sets a session_token cookie in your browser that is shared across Request Network services.

Wallet sessions expire after 15 minutes of idle time. If your session expires during the following steps, return to the Dashboard and sign in again.

Step 2: Create a Payment Destination

A payment destination registers where you want to receive payments — it links your wallet address to a specific token on a specific chain.

Navigate to setup

In the Dashboard, navigate to the payment destination setup.

Pick chain and token

Select the chain and token you want to receive payments in.

Confirm

Confirm the creation.

The Dashboard returns a destinationId (also shown as humanReadableInteropAddress). Save this value — you’ll need it in Step 5. The destinationId follows the ERC-7828 format:

{walletAddress}@eip155:{chainId}#{checksum}

Supported Chains and Tokens

Network	Chain ID	USDC	USDT
Ethereum	`1`	`0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48`	`0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7`

The Dashboard UI exposes USDT for Tron destinations. To create a USDC-on-Tron destination, call POST /v1/payee-destination on the Auth API directly with the USDC token address. Testnet:

Network	Chain ID	Tokens
Sepolia	`11155111`	FAU: `0x370DE27fdb7D1Ff1e1BaA7D11c5820a324Cf623C`, USDC: `0x1c7D4B196Cb0C7B01d743Fbc6116a902379C7238`, USDT: `0xF046b3CA5ae2879c6bAcC4D42fAF363eE8379F78`

Step 3: Create a Client ID

A Client ID identifies your application and is required to create payment links and register webhooks.

Option A — Dashboard (recommended)

Open Dashboard

Go to dashboard.request.network.

Open destination settings

Open your payment destination settings.

Open Client IDs

Open the Client IDs section.

Generate

Click Generate New Client ID.

Name and configure

Enter a human-readable name. Add Allowed Domains if the Client ID will be used from a frontend application. Leave empty for backend/server-side usage only.

Save

Confirm to generate the Client ID. Copy and save the generated clientId — you’ll use it in Steps 4 and 5.

Allowed domains must use https:// (except for localhost, 127.0.0.1, or ::1 which allow http://). No path, query, or fragment allowed.

Option B — Auth API (for automation)

Open the Scalar docs at auth.request.network/open-api and call:

POST https://auth.request.network/v1/client-ids
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "label": "My Client ID",
  "allowedDomains": ["https://mydomain.com"],
  "feePercentage": null,
  "feeAddress": null,
  "operatorWalletAddress": null,
  "payeeDestinationId": "<destinationId-from-step-2>"
}

Your wallet session from Step 1 is sent automatically via cookie. Example response (201 Created):

{
  "id": "01KJBN4KR5PFG4NAQG60EHR2Y0",
  "clientId": "cli_nz1bj41szV2fvjm9pbxdIhro3ld4x4",
  "label": "My Client ID",
  "allowedDomains": ["https://mydomain.com"],
  "feePercentage": null,
  "feeAddress": null,
  "operatorWalletAddress": null,
  "defaultPreApprovalExpiry": null,
  "defaultAuthorizationExpiry": null,
  "status": "active",
  "createdAt": "2026-03-02T19:42:37 GMT+0000"
}

Save the clientId value (e.g. cli_nz1bj41szV2fvjm9pbxdIhro3ld4x4) — you’ll use it in Steps 4 and 5.

Step 4: Register a Webhook

Register a webhook to receive payment.confirmed when the payment completes. For endpoint setup, event routing, payloads, and signature verification, see Webhooks.

Step 5: Create a Secure Payment (Payment Link)

With the destinationId from Step 2 and the clientId from Step 3, you can now create a payment link. When the payment is completed, the webhook from Step 4 will be notified automatically.

Open the API docs

Open the Request API docs: api.request.network/open-api.

Set the Client ID header

Set the x-client-id header to the clientId value from Step 3.

Fill in the request body

{
  "requests": [
    {
      "destinationId": "0x6923831ACf5c327260D7ac7C9DfF5b1c3cB3C7D7@eip155:11155111#1f969856:0x370DE27fdb7D1Ff1e1BaA7D11c5820a324Cf623C",
      "amount": "1"
    }
  ]
}

Send

Click Send.

Constructing the `destinationId`

The destinationId in the request body is a composite value that combines the payee destination’s humanReadableInteropAddress (from Step 2) with the tokenAddress, separated by ::

{humanReadableInteropAddress}:{tokenAddress}

For example:

0x6923831ACf5c327260D7ac7C9DfF5b1c3cB3C7D7@eip155:11155111#1f969856:0x370DE27fdb7D1Ff1e1BaA7D11c5820a324Cf623C
└──────────── humanReadableInteropAddress ─────────────────┘ └──────────── tokenAddress ──────────────────────┘

Request body fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
`requests`	`array`	Yes	Array of payment request items (at least 1; multiple items create a batch on EVM only)
`requests[].destinationId`	`string`	Yes	Composite ID: `humanReadableInteropAddress:tokenAddress`
`requests[].amount`	`string`	Yes	Amount in human-readable format (e.g. `"10"` for 10 USDC)
`feePercentage`	`string`	No	Fee percentage (0–100). If set, `feeAddress` is required.
`feeAddress`	`string`	No	Address to receive fees. Required if `feePercentage` is set.
`reference`	`string`	No	Merchant reference (≤ 255 chars)
`payerIdentifier`	`string`	No	Payer identifier (≤ 255 chars)

Submitting multiple requests[] items where any destination is on Tron returns a 400 with Batch payments are not supported for TRON networks. Please submit individual payment requests. Tron secure payments are single-recipient. EVM batches up to 200 payees per link work as expected.

Example response (201 Created):

{
  "requestIds": [
    "01de2a889ee629c15b71b5d7964e3a7e87638c886be75bf1b9d2c1fbe64cf855fb"
  ],
  "securePaymentUrl": "https://pay.request.network/?token=01KJRA0M9QG8MA4X887908T8A4",
  "token": "01KJRA0M9QG8MA4X887908T8A4"
}

Field	Type	Description
`requestIds`	`string[]`	IDs of the created payment requests
`securePaymentUrl`	`string`	Shareable URL for the payer to complete payment
`token`	`string`	Unique token for this payment session

Share the securePaymentUrl with the payer. They can open it in their browser to complete the payment.

The payment link expires after 7 days or once it has been paid, whichever comes first.

Step 6: Check Payment Status (Optional)

In addition to receiving webhook notifications (Step 4), you can also poll for payment status using the requestId from Step 5. Endpoint: GET https://api.request.network/v2/request/{requestId} You can call this from the Request API docs using the same wallet session, or programmatically with the x-client-id header. Example response (200 OK — paid):

{
  "hasBeenPaid": true,
  "requestId": "01de2a889ee629c15b71b5d7964e3a7e87638c886be75bf1b9d2c1fbe64cf855fb",
  "payee": "0x6923831ACf5c327260D7ac7C9DfF5b1c3cB3C7D7",
  "isListening": false,
  "txHash": "0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef"
}

Example response (200 OK — not yet paid):

{
  "hasBeenPaid": false,
  "requestId": "01de2a889ee629c15b71b5d7964e3a7e87638c886be75bf1b9d2c1fbe64cf855fb",
  "payee": "0x6923831ACf5c327260D7ac7C9DfF5b1c3cB3C7D7",
  "isListening": true,
  "txHash": null
}

Field	Type	Description
`hasBeenPaid`	`boolean`	Whether the request has been fully paid
`requestId`	`string`	The request ID
`payee`	`string`	The payee’s wallet address
`isListening`	`boolean`	Whether the system is still listening for payment
`txHash`	`string`	Transaction hash of the payment (`null` if unpaid)

Quick Reference

Step	Action	Where
1	Sign in with wallet	dashboard.request.network
2	Create payment destination	dashboard.request.network
3	Create Client ID	dashboard.request.network (or auth.request.network/open-api)
4	Register webhook	auth.request.network/open-api
5	Create payment link	api.request.network/open-api
6	Check payment status	api.request.network/open-api (or via webhook)

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
`401 Unauthorized` on Dashboard / Auth API calls	Your wallet session has likely expired (15 min TTL). Go back to dashboard.request.network and sign in again.
`Origin header is required`	When using `x-client-id` from a browser, include an `Origin` header matching one of the Client ID’s allowed domains.
`Invalid destination ID format`	The `destinationId` must be `humanReadableInteropAddress:tokenAddress`. Make sure both values are joined with `:` as the separator.
`Batch payments are not supported for TRON networks`	Tron requests must be single-recipient. Submit one `requests[]` item per Tron destination.
Webhook signature doesn’t match	Verify against the raw request body (no re-serialization), use HMAC-SHA256, and compare with a constant-time check.
Webhook secret lost	Secrets are only shown at creation. Delete the webhook (`DELETE /v1/webhook/:id`) and create a new one.
Payment link expired	Payment links expire after 7 days or once paid. Create a new one if needed.
