How to accept ETH on Base

  1. Create a ETH deposit address

    Send one request with the URL to notify and the EVM wallet that receives the money. The same callback URL always returns the same address.

    curl "https://api.trezorpay.com/base/eth/create/?callback=https://your.shop/paid?order=42&address=0x62f90a0Cde262228Afd74939E04d32E23Ec25677&pending=1"

  2. Show the address to your customer

    Display address_in, with a QR code from /base/eth/qrcode/ if you like. Your customer pays at least 0.0003 ETH; the address never expires and can be paid any number of times.

  3. Receive the funds and a signed callback

    After 10 confirmations (about 20 seconds), we forward the payment to your wallet and call your URL with pending=0, value_forwarded_coin, txid_out, coin=base_eth, signed in x-ca-signature. Answer *ok*.

ETH on Base

Base is Coinbase's Ethereum layer 2: Ethereum security, fees in fractions of a cent.

For ETH, the network cost of forwarding comes out of the payment itself: you receive the amount paid minus our fee and the gas of the forward.

ETH on Base payments: questions

What is the minimum ETH on Base payment?

0.0003 ETH. A smaller payment is still recorded and shown in /logs/, but it is not forwarded, so that the network cost can never eat the payment.

How long until a ETH on Base payment reaches my wallet?

We forward it once it has 10 confirmations on Base, which takes about 20 seconds on average, then send your server a signed callback with the forwarding transaction id.

Who pays the network fee for ETH on Base?

The gas of the forwarding transaction is taken from the ETH payment itself, so you never hold ETH for fees.

Do I need an account to accept ETH on Base?

No. There is no sign-up and no API key: one request to /base/eth/create/ with your callback URL and your EVM wallet returns a deposit address. Funds go straight to that wallet.
