**In brief** (Part 1 has the details):

- Stripe stays exactly as it is. Add Pay with BTC, USDT & USDC next to it; never change how card payments work.
- Before installing or editing anything, ask the user for a receive-only NWC code. One question per message.
- Next ask for the LSC code, then Part 1's one pricing question. Never ask for or read a Stripe key.
- Never echo a code or put one in a shell command. Do not suggest rotating a code pasted here.
- Part 3's quickstart is not the end: after it, do Part 1 steps 5 and 6, then hand over.

Part 3 describes OpenReceive 0.4.23. Parts 1 and 2 are the Stripe design from https://openreceive.org/processors/stripe.

# Part 1: add BTC, USDT & USDC checkout to this Stripe app

This app already takes card payments through Stripe. You are adding a second way
to pay, "Pay with BTC, USDT & USDC", through OpenReceive. Stripe keeps working
exactly as it does now: the same prices, the same webhook endpoint, the same API
version, the same billing for every existing card customer.

This file has three parts:

- **Part 1** (this part): the order of work for this app.
- **Part 2**: the design, which says what to build.
- **Part 3**: OpenReceive's own directions for this framework, including the
  full quickstart. Follow it for everything about OpenReceive, with the changes
  listed in step 4 below.

If this app does not use Stripe at all, stop and tell the user these are the
directions for an app that already uses Stripe. The new-app directions are at
the same URL with `/new/` in place of `/add/`.

## 1. The codes

Do Part 3's Step 0 exactly: ask for the receive-only NWC code, then the LSC
code, one question per message, and save each one yourself. Do not ask for,
read, print or change any Stripe key. This app already has its keys, and nothing
you build calls Stripe.

## 2. Read the app (no edits)

Find, by reading the code:

1. **The Stripe code**: where checkout sessions or payment intents are created,
   the webhook route and handler, and which events it handles.
2. **The success path**: the code that runs when a card payment succeeds and
   gives the customer their plan, credits or product. This becomes what settle
   calls.
3. **What is sold**: subscription plans, credit packs or usage, one-time
   products. Note each one's card price and where it lives (Stripe price ids in
   config, environment or the database).
4. **Every access check**: each place that reads the Stripe subscription or plan
   to allow a feature, an API call or a limit.
5. **The tests**: how to run them. Run them once now. Fix nothing unrelated, but
   note any that already fail.

## 3. One pricing question

Ask in one message, filled in from what you found. For plans:

> BTC, USDT and USDC are paid up front, so plans become prepaid passes: 60, 180
> or 365 days at 10%, 20% and 26% off the monthly card price. For example,
> <plan> at $<monthly>/month would be $<60d> / $<180d> / $<365d>. Credit packs
> would cost the same as by card. Reply "ok", or tell me what to change.

Leave out the credit pack sentence if the app sells none. If it sells only
one-time products, ask instead: "BTC, USDT & USDC checkout will sell the same
products at the same prices. Reply "ok", or tell me what to change."

## 4. The OpenReceive quickstart (Part 3), with these changes

- **The payable row is the OpenReceive order** from Part 2, not an existing card
  order model. If the app already has an orders or payments table that fits, add
  Part 2's columns to it instead of creating a new table.
- **`authorize`, `amount_for` and `on_paid`** follow Part 2's "OpenReceive
  hooks". `on_paid` calls settle and nothing else.
- **Do not hand over after the quickstart.** Part 3's "After the quickstart:
  hand over, then stop" applies at the end of step 6 below, not here. When the
  quickstart is done (its doctor check is clean), continue with step 5.

## 5. The Stripe side, in this order

1. **Extract, don't rewrite.** Move the grant code from the success path into
   functions that settle can call: grant a plan period, grant credits, deliver a
   product. The Stripe webhook keeps calling the same code with the same inputs
   and gets the same result. Card behavior must not change. If card payments
   already create order rows, keep them. Don't add card order rows just for
   this.
2. **Pass access**: the access row, pass records and credit lots from Part 2
   (credits only if the app has them), with migrations through the app's own
   tooling.
3. **One access helper.** Route every access check you found in step 2 through
   it, so a pass unlocks exactly what the same plan by card unlocks.
4. **Pass prices** stored with the plans (or packs, or products), separate from
   Stripe's price ids, with the answer from step 3.
5. **The "Pay with BTC, USDT & USDC" endpoint.** Check what is being bought
   against the catalog. Refuse a pass while a card plan is live, with Part 2's
   message. Create the OpenReceive order with its saved price and a fresh
   reference, then send the customer to that order's checkout page.
6. **The checkout page** for one OpenReceive order, reachable from the
   customer's account. It mounts the OpenReceive checkout from Part 3. When the
   order is already paid, show "Payment received" and what it bought instead.
7. **The pricing page**: Part 2's toggle and pass cards next to the existing
   card plans. Leave the card buttons and their flow untouched.
8. **Expiry**: the sweeper on the app's existing scheduler, if it has one, and
   reminder emails if the app already sends email. With neither, the access
   helper's `paid_until > now` check is enough.

## 6. Check, then hand over

- Run the test suite again. Every test that passed in step 2 must still pass.
- Add tests: settle run twice grants once, extending a pass from `max(now,
  paid_until)`, a refused pass while a card plan is live, and the access helper
  for card only, pass only, and both.
- Check the app's Stripe intake against Part 2's "Stripe intake". Change nothing
  there. Note the most important gap for the hand-over.

Now follow Part 3's "After the quickstart: hand over, then stop", with these
changes:

- The link is the checkout page of a real unpaid OpenReceive order: a 60-day
  pass of the cheapest plan, or the cheapest pack or product if there are no
  plans.
- One of the five lines says card checkout is unchanged.
- If you noted a Stripe intake gap, name it in one more line, the only line
  allowed beyond five.

---

# Part 2: the design

This is the design both modes build. It runs in production next to Stripe. Use
this app's own names, ORM, migrations and conventions for everything below. The
table and column names here describe roles, not required names.

## The flow

```text
Stripe webhook (verified, stored, processed) ──┐
                                               ├──▶ settle(order) ──▶ grant
OpenReceive on_paid (inside its transaction) ──┘
```

Card payments keep coming through Stripe. BTC, USDT and USDC payments come
through OpenReceive. Both call ONE settle function. Nothing downstream of settle
may care which payment method was used.

## Data

**Orders.** One row per purchase, whatever the payment method:

- `payment_method`: `card` or `openreceive`
- `kind`: `card_plan_period`, `pass`, `credit_pack` or `product` (only the kinds
  this app sells)
- `amount_cents` in the app's currency (USD unless the app already prices in
  something else), integer cents. Revenue is always fiat, never sats.
- `status`: `pending`, then `paid` (plus whatever refund states the app already
  tracks)
- `reference`: for OpenReceive orders, an opaque random string (for example 12
  lowercase letters and digits), unique, set when the order is created. Never
  the row id: ids leak order counts and let anyone guess other checkout URLs.
- what was bought: the plan and days for a pass, the pack for a pack, the
  product or line items for a product
- the Stripe ids for card orders (invoice, checkout session, payment intent),
  each unique

If the app already has an orders, payments or purchases table that fits, add
these columns to it instead of creating a new one.

**Pass access.** At most one live row per account: `account`, `plan`,
`paid_until`. It is the prepaid equivalent of a subscription. Keep a record of
each pass bought (`account`, `plan`, `days`, `order`, `credits`) for history and
support.

**Card access** stays where Stripe's subscription state already lives, synced
from Stripe webhooks. A row that holds a Stripe subscription id is a card row
forever. Only the Stripe sync writes to it. Never write pass access onto it.

**Credits**, only if the app sells usage:

- One lot per grant: `account`, `source` (card plan, pass, pack, gift),
  `granted`, `remaining`, `expires_at` (empty means never).
- An append-only ledger of grants and spends, each entry with a unique
  idempotency key.
- Spend lots that expire before lots that don't: plan and pass lots first, then
  packs. Within a group, oldest first.
- Lock the account's lots while spending so two requests cannot spend the same
  credit.

## settle(order)

```text
settle(order):
  in one database transaction:
    lock the order row
    if order.status is paid: return          # replay, retry or second path
    mark the order paid
    case order.kind:
      card_plan_period → grant the period's credits (key: card plan + period start)
      pass             → extend pass access, grant pass credits (key: pass id)
      credit_pack      → grant pack credits, never expire (key: pack purchase id)
      product          → this app's existing fulfillment
  after commit: emails, receipts, live updates, background jobs
```

- Every grant writes under a unique key, so a replayed event cannot grant twice
  even if the order check were bypassed.
- OpenReceive runs `on_paid` INSIDE its own settlement transaction. If settle
  raises, settlement rolls back and OpenReceive retries on its next reconcile
  pass, so settle must be safe to run again. Anything that leaves the database
  (email, websocket broadcast, job enqueue) runs only after the outermost
  transaction commits.

## Prepaid passes

- Lengths: 60, 180 and 365 days by default. Show 60 first. A length the merchant
  doesn't sell has no price; refuse it on the server, so an old browser tab can
  never create a $0 pass.
- Price: card monthly price × days/30 × (1 − discount), rounded to whole
  dollars. Default discounts: 10% for 60 days, 20% for 180, 26% for 365. Store
  the pass prices with the plans, separate from Stripe's price ids. A plan sold
  only as a pass never gets a Stripe price id.
- Extend: `paid_until = max(now, paid_until) + days`. The access row takes the
  plan of the pass just bought, so a higher plan upgrades the remaining time.
- Credits: the plan's monthly credits × days/30, rounded, granted at once,
  expiring at the new `paid_until`.
- Never auto-renews. Show "One-time pass, no auto-renew" next to every pass
  price. Keep the buy button enabled for the customer's current plan, so they
  can renew early.
- A sweeper (the app's scheduler or a periodic job) ends pass access when
  `paid_until` passes. It never touches card rows. Access checks compare
  `paid_until` to now, so access ends on time even if the sweeper is late.
- If the app sends email: remind 7 days before `paid_until`, and on the day.

## When a customer has both

- **A card plan is live** (active, trialing or past due, even if set to cancel
  at period end): refuse passes, both in the UI (disabled button) and on the
  server (in the endpoint that creates the OpenReceive order). Copy: "You have a
  card plan. Prepaid passes become available once it ends. Credit packs are
  available any time."
- **The customer holds a pass, then starts a card plan:** both run. The pass
  keeps its days. Do not cancel the pass access row when a card plan starts.
- **A pass order paid after a card plan started:** settle it normally on the
  pass access row. Never move it onto the card row.
- **Features** come from the single best plan the customer currently has, by
  card or by pass. Credits add up across both.
- **One access helper decides everything:** what plan the account is on and
  whether it is entitled, from card rows (Stripe status active, trialing or past
  due) and the pass access row (`paid_until > now`). Every feature check, API
  gate and limit calls this helper. Route existing scattered checks through it.

## OpenReceive hooks

Part 3 explains the hooks. In this design they map like this:

- **The payable row is the OpenReceive order.** Create it in the app's own "Pay
  with BTC, USDT & USDC" endpoint, before the checkout opens. Its `reference` is
  what the checkout and OpenReceive see.
- **`authorize`:** the reference must belong to a pending or paid OpenReceive
  order owned by the signed-in account. Holding a reference is a claim, not
  proof.
- **`amount_for`:** returns the order's saved `amount_cents` as a decimal
  string, with a description such as "Plus, 60-day pass". Never a value from the
  request, never a live catalog lookup, never a float.
- **`on_paid`:** finds the OpenReceive order by reference and calls settle.
  Nothing else.

Every "Pay with BTC, USDT & USDC" click may create a new pending order. That is
fine. Abandoned pending orders cost nothing. The checkout page for an order must
stay reachable from the customer's account (for example
`/orders/<reference>/pay`), because that page is also where a payer claims a
swap refund.

## Stripe intake

In add mode, check the app's existing Stripe code against these rules and report
gaps in your hand-over. Don't rewrite it. In new mode, build it this way.

- Verify the webhook signature, store the event under its Stripe event id
  (unique), answer 200, then process it. Retry failed events. A periodic re-list
  of recent events catches missed deliveries.
- Events: `checkout.session.completed`, `customer.subscription.created`,
  `customer.subscription.updated`, `customer.subscription.deleted`,
  `invoice.paid`. Re-fetch the subscription from Stripe before applying it,
  because events arrive out of order.
- Fulfillment happens only in the webhook, through settle. The success redirect
  only shows a message.
- Card checkout uses Stripe Checkout (`mode: subscription` for plans, `mode:
  payment` for packs and products) with the account id in metadata.

## The pricing page

- Name the second payment method by its coins: "BTC, USDT & USDC". If the app
  has no swap provider configured (no LSC code), it takes BTC only, so say "BTC"
  instead everywhere below.
- One toggle, "Pay with card" / "Pay with BTC, USDT & USDC", controls the whole
  plan grid and pack list. Remember the choice per account if the app has
  accounts.
- Card mode shows plans that have Stripe prices. BTC, USDT & USDC mode shows
  plans that have pass prices. Decide this from the data, not from hard-coded
  plan names.
- Pass plan cards: a 60 / 180 / 365 day switch, the price "/ 60 days", the
  credits "granted at once", "One-time pass, no auto-renew", and a "Pay with
  BTC, USDT & USDC" button.
- The account page shows how the plan is paid: "Card (renews monthly)" or
  "Prepaid pass, until <date>". Card-only buttons such as "Manage payment
  method" appear only for card plans.

## Never

- Never write pass access onto a row that holds a Stripe subscription.
- Never fulfill on a redirect, a client callback or a payer-supplied amount.
- Never grant without a unique key.
- Never change Stripe prices, products, webhook endpoint or API version in an
  app that already takes card payments.
- Never call Stripe from `amount_for` or `on_paid`.

# Part 3: OpenReceive agent directions (PHP)

**Step 0 in brief** (Step 0 below has the details):

- Before installing or editing anything, ask the user for a receive-only NWC code. One question per message.
- Next ask for the LSC code. If the user wants stablecoins, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL or crypto, do not ask yes/no first.
- The user only pastes codes into this chat. Never ask them to edit .env or run a command to save one.
- Write each code into .env yourself, as Step 0 says. Never echo it or put it in a shell command.
- Do not suggest rotating or revoking a code because it was pasted here.
- Start the quickstart only once the NWC code is saved, and the LSC code is saved or the user said "Bitcoin only".

These directions describe OpenReceive 0.4.23.

Add OpenReceive to a PHP application — the app you are already working in. You
do not need a copy of the OpenReceive source: the engine is on Packagist
(`openreceive/openreceive`), the checkout UI is a tarball on every GitHub
release, and the quickstart is appended to this file in full, so you can do the
whole integration without fetching anything. Prefer the published package and
the PSR-15 handler it ships — do not reimplement wallet RPC, settlement, or
pricing.

Do not clone the OpenReceive repository into this app, and do not copy a demo's
models (`shop_orders`, a signed-cookie visitor, a SQLite catalog) over tables
that already exist. Find this application's order, product, and user models —
whatever they are actually named — and map the three hooks onto those.

Keep this application's router, its session/authentication and its database.
The engine is framework-free: it wants a PDO handle, one object with three
methods, and a place in your front controller (or middleware stack) to dispatch
`/openreceive/*` to its PSR-15 handler. If this app runs Laravel, use the
`openreceive/laravel` adapter and its own directions instead of this page.
Reuse the app's existing session or cookie in `authorize` and the PDO it
already opens in `PdoConnection`.

## What OpenReceive is

A payment library that runs inside YOUR server. It mounts HTTP routes in the
application you are editing, issues Lightning invoices against a wallet the
merchant already controls, and calls back into your code when one settles. There
is no OpenReceive account and no API key, and OpenReceive never holds the funds —
the sats land in the wallet the merchant connected.

The one required credential is a receive-only NWC code (Nostr Wallet Connect):
a string from the merchant's wallet that can create invoices and read their
status, and cannot spend. A swap provider (an "LSC" code) optionally lets the
payer send USDT, USDC, ETH or SOL instead, converted into that same
Lightning payment. Step 0 collects those credentials from the user; you write three hooks — `authorize`,
`amountFor`, `onPaid` on one `OpenReceive\Host`;
OpenReceive supplies invoices, polling, settlement and the checkout UI. It never
owns orders, users, prices, or fulfillment.

## Step 0 — ask for the two codes, one question at a time

Before anything else, check one file: the project's `.env`, if it exists.
`grep -E '^(NWC_URI|LSC_URI_PRIMARY)=.' .env | cut -d= -f1` names the codes
it sets without printing them. Check with that, here and after each write,
not by reading the file, and never print the values. A code that is already
set is not asked for again; if both are set, skip to step 5 (making the
server load the file), then the quickstart.

Otherwise your next action is a question to the user. Do not run `composer require`,
edit the app, write `.env.example`, or search anywhere else before asking
it. Do not read deploy config (compose files, `SetEnv`/`fastcgi_param` blocks, platform secrets), Docker containers, or process environments, and never run
`printenv`. A new shop has neither code yet: hunting for one burns the turn and
can leak other secrets into the transcript.

Two server-only URIs are needed before the quickstart:

- `NWC_URI` — a receive-only Nostr Wallet Connect code,
  `nostr+walletconnect://…`. Required for Bitcoin.
- `LSC_URI_PRIMARY` — a Lightning Swap Connect URI,
  `lightning+swapconnect://…`. Required for USDT, USDC, ETH and SOL. Skip it
  only when the user says they want Bitcoin alone.

The user never edits an environment file. They paste each code into the chat;
you store it. Ask one question per message.

1. **First message — the NWC code, and nothing else.** Ask for it and walk them
   through getting it:

   > To receive payments I need a receive-only wallet code. In Rizful: open
   > the menu, tap NWC, choose Receive-only NWC code, and tap Copy
   > (https://openreceive.org/get_a_nwc_code_to_receive_payments). If you would
   > rather run your own wallet, Alby Hub works too: Connections → Add
   > Connection → Read Only. Paste the code here and I will store it.

   Do not mention `.env`, exports, or "tell me when it's set".
2. **When they paste it.** If it does not start with `nostr+walletconnect://`,
   ask them to copy the receive-only code again. Otherwise write
   `NWC_URI=<paste>` into the project's `.env` with your file-editing tool,
   creating the file if needed. Never write it with a shell command (`echo`,
   `printf`, a heredoc, `python -c`): the command line shows the code. Make
   sure `.gitignore` covers `.env` (and `.dockerignore`, if the app has one).
   Never echo the value, commit it, or put it in client code. Reply only that
   it is saved, then ask the next question.
3. **Second message — swaps.** If the user asked for stablecoins, USDT, USDC,
   ETH, SOL, altcoins or "crypto" (as in "Bitcoin and stablecoin payments"),
   this message IS the walkthrough below: send it as it is, and do not ask yes
   or no first. Otherwise ask whether payers should also be able to pay with
   USDT, USDC, ETH or SOL, then give the walkthrough. The walkthrough:

   > Go to https://lightning-swap.com, sign in for API keys, create a key, and
   > copy the whole URI (https://openreceive.org/set_up_swap_provider). Paste
   > it here and I will store it — or say "Bitcoin only" and I will continue
   > without it.

   Mention FixedFloat only if they already use it.
4. **When they paste it.** If it does not start with
   `lightning+swapconnect://`, ask them to copy it again. Otherwise add
   `LSC_URI_PRIMARY=<paste>` to the same `.env` with the file-editing tool,
   never a shell command. Swaps are now on, so build the refund route back
   (the swap non-negotiable below) as part of this integration. If they chose
   Bitcoin only, leave `LSC_URI_PRIMARY` unset and skip that route.
5. **Make the server load the file — yourself.** Nothing in PHP
   reads `.env` on its own. Add `vlucas/phpdotenv` and load the file in the
   front controller before `Service::fromEnvironment()`. When the app is started
   with Docker Compose, give the service `env_file: .env`. Restart PHP-FPM or
   the server after writing the file.

Do not invent placeholder URIs. Start the quickstart only once `NWC_URI` is
saved and `LSC_URI_PRIMARY` is saved or explicitly declined. The first boot
runs the receive-only preflight: if it reports spend methods such as
`pay_invoice`, remove `NWC_URI` from `.env` and ask for a receive-only code
again. Never set the spend-capable override to get past it.

Then check the PHP runtime: `php -m` must list `gmp`, `sodium`, `mbstring`,
`json`, `pdo` and one PDO driver. `ext-gmp` is REQUIRED — the NWC transport
signs every request with it — and `php:*-cli`/`-fpm` images do not ship it:
install `libgmp-dev` first, then `docker-php-ext-install gmp`, in the
Dockerfile. Never pass `--ignore-platform-req=ext-gmp` to Composer. PHP must
be ≥ 8.2 and 64-bit.

### Upgrading an existing install

This is not the opening move of a new integration. When OpenReceive is ALREADY
installed here, `OpenReceive\Server\Doctor::report()` (a plain host runs it
from the quickstart's `bin/doctor` script) reports every credential as
set/unset (never the value), the host class and any placeholder hooks, the
mount, and the wallet preflight. Check the installed `openreceive/openreceive`
(`composer show openreceive/openreceive`) and the unpacked checkout's
`MANIFEST.json` against the release named at the top of this file. The two
must match: the browser build and the engine are one release. Upgrade first —
and if this app runs in containers, rebuild the images: `vendor/` is baked into
the image, so an in-place `composer update` is undone by the next
`compose up`.

Only then start the quickstart.

## After the quickstart — hand over, then stop

The quickstart is done when the quickstart's `bin/doctor` script is clean and
this app serves the checkout page for one of its orders. Doctor names any
failed check; fix it before going on.

Give the user that checkout link. The browser check in the quickstart's step 6
(payment-method icons, wallet logos, a pay tutorial) is theirs: name it in one
line of your closing message, and do not run it yourself.

You cannot pay the invoice: the code is receive-only. Do not pay, settle or
mark an order paid, and do not look for a way to (a wallet control port, a
test endpoint, another wallet). If the user wants a real settlement test, they
pay on that link from their own wallet, and `onPaid` marks the order paid.

Setup ends here. Your last message starts "Setup is finished" and has at most
five short lines (about 80 characters each): the link, the methods it offers,
and one line of what to look at. Send nothing after it. Do not list what
changed, copy out the quickstart's browser checklist, offer more work, or end
the message on a question.

- The link is to a real unpaid order. Keep that order; do not delete it.
- When this app's orders belong to a session or cookie, the user's browser
  cannot open the order you made. Then the link is the shop's own page:
  "Open <shop url> and click Buy: it opens the checkout." Do not explain order
  ownership or mention your test order.
- Name the methods it offers: Bitcoin, plus USDT, USDC, ETH and SOL when
  `LSC_URI_PRIMARY` is saved. Do not mention minimums, and never say a coin
  will not work or will not be offered.

## Non-negotiables

The quickstart below has the code. These are the rules it cannot state for
itself, and they hold for every integration.

- OpenReceive never owns orders, users, prices, or fulfillment. The section
  below is how those tables sit next to the engine — not a second order model,
  and not a join to `openreceive_payments`.
- Keep `NWC_URI` / `LSC_URI_*` server-only. Never put them in browser code,
  logs, or assets — and never in a `config.php` that ships in the repository.
- Do not suggest rotating, revoking or replacing a code because it was pasted
  into this chat; that is the supported path.
- Work only in this application. Never read or run anything from another
  project on this machine (its `node_modules`, tools or source), for any
  reason. A browser and Playwright are not part of setup.
- Restart only this app's server, on the port it already uses: stop the
  process you started, or the one listening on that port, by its pid (or
  restart its Compose service). Never `pkill` or `killall` by name: that
  stops other people's servers too. Start it the way this project already
  does (its README, Procfile, compose file or package script), on its own
  port, not a port you pick.
- Run commands where the app runs. When a compose file builds it, run its
  package manager, generators, migrations and doctor inside that service
  (`docker compose exec` or `run`), and rebuild the image after adding a
  package. This machine's language version and database path are not the
  app's.
- To check that the running app sees the codes, run doctor: it reports each
  one as present or missing and never prints a value. Never print the
  environment (`printenv`, `env`, `docker compose config`), even filtered to
  names.
- The host owns the price. `amountFor` reads it from your own data; reject
  payer-supplied amounts.
- `authorize` runs on every request, and the `resource` it receives is a CLAIM
  the payer made, not proof. Read this app's session or signed cookie from the
  PSR-7 request; never trust a body field. The `Hosts\AllowAllAuthorize` trait
  is a placeholder that allows everything (the engine warns at boot while a
  host uses it) — replace it with this app's real ownership check, same as
  `onPaid`'s `Hosts\LoggingOnPaid`.
- `onPaid` must be idempotent. Its database fulfillment commits once per `reference` — your order id, one
  per thing you fulfill, created before checkout, kept across retries, never
  reused. A fresh id per page load lets one order be paid twice.
- Receive-only NWC is required; a spend-capable code fails closed at boot unless
  explicitly overridden.
- There is NO merchant-initiated refund of a settled Lightning payment, because
  the wallet cannot spend. Swap refunds — a payer reclaiming a deposit that
  never converted — are the only refund OpenReceive performs, and only from the
  `refund_required` provider state. Do not build, promise, or imply a Lightning
  refund path.
- IF YOU TURN SWAPS ON, BUILD THE ROUTE BACK. A deposit that arrives short or
  late becomes `refund_required`, and the payer claims it on a SECOND VISIT,
  after leaving your page to fetch an address from another wallet. Three things
  must exist or that money is unreachable through your UI: a per-order URL your
  server serves (`/checkout/:reference` — `resumable` on the element), your own
  order-summary route to restore the order from, and the ATTEMPT.
  `/checkouts/prepare` returns no attempts, so a checkout rebuilt from the
  reference alone opens on the method grid. Re-picking the same coin
  (`POST /swaps`) re-serves the committed attempt — but only while it is live,
  and the shadow invoice behind a swap lasts about half an hour, after which the
  same click mints a NEW deposit address and the refund is off-screen. Keep the
  `payment_hash` and reopen the attempt with `POST /swaps/status`, which has no
  such window. On the element: the `resume-payment-hash` attribute, fed from
  the `openreceive-state` event (`event.detail.state.payment_hash`).
  https://openreceive.org/guides/swap-refunds.md
- Show the payer WHAT THEY ARE BUYING. Return an optional `description` beside
  the price from `amountFor` and the drop-in renders it above the amount.
  Without it the checkout is a QR and "$1.00" with no sign of what the dollar
  is for.
- Show the payer the transaction record: `createTransactionDetails(...)` rows,
  collapsed behind a caret, on the live checkout AND on the receipt. A payment
  hash and a deposit txid are the only evidence a payer has that they paid you.
  `<openreceive-checkout>` already renders this panel and the `description` —
  these two rules cost you code only on a custom UI or your own receipt page,
  never a reason to replace the drop-in. (It returns no rows while the rail is
  `checkout_lock` — before the payer has chosen anything there is no
  transaction — so render the caret only when the rows are non-empty.)
- HTTP JSON is snake_case; the PHP API uses camelCase methods over snake_case
  array keys, and the browser packages' TypeScript APIs are camelCase.
- Money is integers or decimal strings — never binary floats. `amountFor`
  returns `'value' => '12.00'`, a string; never `12.00`.
- PHP starts every request from nothing. The engine is built for that — the
  settlement gate is a row in `openreceive_meta`, not process memory — so do
  not add a cache, a static, or an APCu entry to "remember" the wallet or a
  reconcile timer between requests.

## Your tables, not ours

`PaymentsSchema::statements($dialect)` renders `openreceive_payments` and
`openreceive_meta` for THIS application's database; run it through the app's
own migration tool. That is the whole persistence OpenReceive needs. It does
not replace your orders, users, or products, and you do not join them.

- **Find this app's models first.** They may be named `Order`, `Invoice`,
  `Booking`, `Product`, `Variant`, `User`, `Account` — anything. Wire the hooks
  to those. Do not generate a parallel `ShopOrder` / `ShopProduct` / `ShopUser`
  stack.
- **The payable row's id is the `reference`.** Create it before checkout, keep
  it across retries, never reuse it. Pass that id to `<openreceive-checkout>`.
  A fresh id per page load lets one order be paid twice.
- **Products (or the catalog) are the price authority.** Order creation reads
  live prices into the order (snapshot line items if this app has them).
  `amountFor` reads only that order — never a payer-supplied amount, never a
  live catalog lookup that could re-price a cart already placed. Return
  `['currency' => …, 'value' => …]` as a decimal STRING, plus a `description`
  of what they are buying.
- **Users own the order; OpenReceive never sees them.** `authorize` uses the
  same ownership check this app already uses on the order show / pay page —
  `$_SESSION['user_id']`, a signed cookie, a session library, whatever it is —
  read from `$context->request` (the PSR-7 server request).
  `$context->reference()` is a claim the payer sent, not proof.
- **The order is unpaid or paid.** Do not copy `pending` / `expired` / `failed`
  / `attention` onto it. Those are attempt statuses on `openreceive_payments`. An
  expired invoice does not cancel the order; a later checkout may mint another
  attempt. The engine refuses a new checkout under a reference that already
  settled (409).
- **Pass this app's PDO.** `new SqlPaymentRepository(new PdoConnection($pdo))`
  over the connection the app already opens; do not implement
  `PaymentRepository` unless no PDO can reach this database. `reference` is not
  unique (many attempts per order). Fulfillment is a guarded transition on YOUR
  order row inside `onPaid` — `UPDATE … WHERE state = 'awaiting_payment'` (or
  this app's equivalent) through `$settlement->connection->execute()`, on that
  same settlement transaction, not a second `PDO`. Database writes only in the
  hook; emails, jobs and webhooks after commit — implement `Hosts\AfterPaid`
  for those. Placeholders are positional `?` on every dialect.

## If you build your own checkout UI

The drop-in (`<openreceive-checkout>`, from the release's standalone tarball or
`@openreceive/elements`) already obeys all of this. This list is the short form
of https://openreceive.org/guides/checkout-ux.md, for a UI built on
`@openreceive/browser/headless`. Read that before writing components.

- Check Bitcoin → Switch payment method → Bitcoin: the grid must hide the
  Lightning invoice, then restore the same bolt11 without another mint.
- `createCheckoutController` is the engine. Do not hand-roll a poll loop.
- `createCheckoutStatusModel` for the status line. Do not draw a
  Cart → Pay → Done stepper. Read the model's `phase`, not the snapshot's.
- `resolveWizardSelection` decides whether to ask "which network?". A
  one-network asset starts the swap from the tile. Key `selectedAssetByGroup`
  by group (`USDT`), valued by `pay_in_asset` (`USDT_TRON`).
- `createMethodGridDisplay` for tiles, including `limitMessage` so an
  unavailable method says the minimum in the payer's currency.
- `createSwapDisplayModel` → `display.copyRows` for deposits: address, memo,
  and the bare amount each get a copy row. Render `swap.networkWarning*` as
  the model gives it.
- `swap.deposit_amount` is the only amount a payer is told to send. Never put
  a fiat valuation of it (`swap.fee.pay_in_fiat`) next to a stablecoin amount:
  "$50.03" under "50.05 USDC" reads as a typo, and the payer asks which one to
  send. The one fiat figure on a USDT/USDC deposit panel is the cart total
  (`payout_fiat`); express "you send" and the fee in the token. Use
  `createSwapFeeBreakdown(fee, swap)` — with the swap, not the fee alone — and
  it applies this for you; SOL and ETH keep a fiat breakdown.
- `createCheckoutSession` owns mint and swap start. To start swaps, pass its
  `swap` option (`selection`, `prefix`, `fetch`) together. Without it
  `startSwap` reports through `onError`.
- `createQrSvg` is async. Use `createQrSvgController` so you do not render
  `[object Promise]`.
- `checkoutLabels` for every payer-facing string. Only write copy it lacks.
- `stageSwapRefund` then `confirmSwapRefund` — only the second submits.
  Validate with `getSwapRefundFormError`. Treat `409` as a normal outcome.
- Pass `{ resumable: true }` to `createSwapDisplayModel` when the payer has
  a URL they can come back to, and render `display.refundReturnLabel`.
  Resume helpers (`createGuestCheckoutResume`, `createGuestOrderFetcher`)
  are on `@openreceive/browser`, not `/headless`.
- A refund replaces the deposit panel. On `refund_required` also drop
  "switch payment method".
- No "Open wallet" button on desktop.
- Wallet suggestions: `getPaymentWizardRoutes()` +
  `createWizardRouteDisplays`. Lightning only. Logos are data URIs; tutorial
  images load from a JavaScript chunk. For a custom headless UI, load it when
  a tutorial opens and look up the returned table by the tutorial's `path`:

  ```js
  import { loadPayTutorialImages } from "@openreceive/browser/headless";

  const images = await loadPayTutorialImages();
  const src = images[tutorial.path]; // data URI for the selected tutorial
  ```

  Render `src` as the image source and update your UI after loading. Existing
  display objects do not update: their `tutorial.image` stays `undefined` if
  created before loading. Alternatively, await the loader, recreate the displays
  with `createWizardRouteDisplays`, and render the new `tutorial.image`.
  Show the caption while loading or if loading fails; never use an empty image
  source. Deploy all JavaScript chunks and allow `data:` in CSP `img-src`.
  For missing images, check CSP errors, failed chunks, and stale displays.
  Registry paths are lookup keys; there is no asset option or image route.

## The quickstart, in full

Inlined verbatim so this file needs no network access — follow it once Step 0
passes. The page it comes from is https://openreceive.org/guides/quickstart-php.

## PHP quickstart (plain PHP)

This page is for plain PHP, with no framework: a front controller, a PDO handle
and three methods. Laravel has its own quickstart (`openreceive/laravel`, the
thin adapter over this engine).

Requires PHP ≥ 8.2 (64-bit) with `ext-gmp`, `ext-sodium`, `ext-mbstring`,
`ext-json`, `ext-pdo` and one PDO driver (`pdo_pgsql`, `pdo_sqlite` or
`pdo_mysql`). `ext-gmp` is **required**, not optional. The NWC transport signs
every wallet request with it.

### 1. Install

```sh
composer require openreceive/openreceive nyholm/psr7 nyholm/psr7-server
```

`openreceive/openreceive` is the whole engine. It includes the receive-only
wallet client, exact money, settlement, the `openreceive_payments` repository
over PDO, swaps, rates and a PSR-15 handler. It depends only on the PSR
interfaces, so bring the PSR-7/PSR-17 implementation your app already has.
`nyholm/psr7` + `nyholm/psr7-server` is the smallest pair, and this page uses
it.

The **checkout UI is not in the Composer package.** Packagist installs from git
and cannot run a JS build. So the browser side ships separately, as
`standalone-checkout-<version>.tar.gz` on every
[GitHub release](https://github.com/openreceive/openreceive/releases). It holds
one self-contained ES module, its stylesheet, a source map and a
`MANIFEST.json`. Unpack it somewhere your web server serves static files
(step 5). If your app has a JS bundler, you can `npm install @openreceive/elements`
instead. The tarball is the same build.

### 2. Migrate the payment tables

The engine owns two tables in **your** database and renders their DDL for each
SQL dialect. Run that DDL through whatever your app uses for schema changes:
Phinx, Doctrine Migrations, a plain SQL file, or a `bin/migrate` script.

```php
use OpenReceive\Storage\PaymentsSchema;

// $dialect is 'pgsql', 'mysql' or 'sqlite' (PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME gives it to you).
foreach (PaymentsSchema::statements($dialect) as $sql) {
    $pdo->exec($sql);
}
// down(): PaymentsSchema::dropStatements()
```

If your script has no migration tool, `PaymentsSchema::migrate(new PdoConnection($pdo))`
does the same in one call. It creates two tables. Leave both to the library:

- `openreceive_payments`: one row per payment attempt.
- `openreceive_meta`: the reconcile gate and the schema version.

Details: [Payment storage](https://openreceive.org/guides/storage.md).

### 3. Add wallet credentials

Create a server-only `.env`, or export the variables from your process manager.
The engine reads `getenv()` and `$_ENV`.

```dotenv
NWC_URI=
LSC_URI_PRIMARY=
LSC_URI_BACKUP=
```

1. Get a receive-only NWC code from a compatible wallet
   ([get one here](https://openreceive.org/get_a_nwc_code_to_receive_payments)).
   Put it in `NWC_URI`.
2. Optional: set up a [swap provider](https://openreceive.org/set_up_swap_provider).
   Put its connection string in `LSC_URI_PRIMARY`, and a second one in
   `LSC_URI_BACKUP` if you have one.

Never put these values in browser code. Your app refuses to start if the NWC
code also advertises spend methods such as `pay_invoice`. Create a
receive-only code instead ([Security](https://openreceive.org/guides/security.md)).

Nothing in PHP loads a `.env` file on its own. Something has to put the values
in the process environment first: `vlucas/phpdotenv`, your web server's
`SetEnv`/`fastcgi_param`, or the container runtime
([Environment variables](https://openreceive.org/guides/environment-variables.md)).

### 4. Wire OpenReceive

Three methods on one object are the entire bridge between the engine and your
data. The engine never sees an order, a user or a price except through them.
`Engine` combines the wallet, the repository over your PDO, and that object
into a PSR-15 handler. Your front controller sends requests under one path
prefix to that handler:

```php
<?php
// public/index.php — or wherever your front controller lives
declare(strict_types=1);

use Nyholm\Psr7\Factory\Psr17Factory;
use Nyholm\Psr7Server\ServerRequestCreator;
use OpenReceive\Host;
use OpenReceive\PaymentSettlement;
use OpenReceive\Server\AuthorizeContext;
use OpenReceive\Server\Engine;
use OpenReceive\Server\Service;
use OpenReceive\Storage\PdoConnection;
use OpenReceive\Storage\SqlPaymentRepository;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$pdo = new PDO(getenv('DATABASE_DSN'));        // the PDO your app already opens
$orders = new App\Orders($pdo);                // YOUR order model — any name works

$host = new class($orders) implements Host {
    public function __construct(private readonly App\Orders $orders) {}

    // Your own access check: may this caller do this action to this reference?
    // `$context->reference()` is your order id, sent back by the payer's
    // browser — a claim, not proof — already validated as a non-empty string.
    // `$context->request` is the PSR-7 ServerRequest: read your session or
    // cookie from it. `$context->action` names the route (checkout.create, …).
    public function authorize(AuthorizeContext $context): bool
    {
        $order = $this->orders->find($context->reference());
        return $order !== null && $order->userId === App\Session::userId($context->request);
    }

    // The price for a reference from YOUR data. `value` is a decimal STRING,
    // never a float and never a request parameter; `description` is what the
    // payer is buying, rendered above the amount. null = nothing to pay (404).
    public function amountFor(string $reference): ?array
    {
        $order = $this->orders->find($reference);
        return $order === null ? null : [
            'currency' => 'USD',
            'value' => $order->total,               // "12.00"
            'description' => "{$order->lineCount} items",
        ];
    }

    // INSIDE the settlement transaction, once per reference. Write through
    // `$settlement->connection` — that transaction — so your order flips in the
    // same commit as the payment record. The WHERE clause is the lock: a second
    // fulfillment path of yours updates zero rows. Database writes only here;
    // emails and webhooks go after commit (implement Hosts\AfterPaid for that).
    public function onPaid(PaymentSettlement $settlement): void
    {
        $settlement->connection->execute(
            "UPDATE orders SET state = 'paid', paid_at = ? WHERE id = ? AND state = 'awaiting_payment'",
            [$settlement->paidAt, $settlement->reference],
        );
    }
};

$engine = new Engine(
    $host,
    new SqlPaymentRepository(new PdoConnection($pdo)),
    Service::fromEnvironment(),                    // NWC_URI (+ LSC_URI_*) from the environment; preflight runs here
    prefix: '/openreceive',
);

$path = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
if (str_starts_with($path, '/openreceive')) {
    $factory = new Psr17Factory();
    $request = (new ServerRequestCreator($factory, $factory, $factory, $factory))->fromGlobals();
    $response = $engine->psr15Handler()->handle($request);
    http_response_code($response->getStatusCode());
    foreach ($response->getHeaders() as $name => $values) {
        foreach ($values as $value) header("{$name}: {$value}", false);
    }
    echo $response->getBody();
    return;
}
// … your own routes
```

`Service::fromEnvironment()` builds the wallet client from `NWC_URI` and runs
the receive-only preflight. A missing, invalid or spend-capable code throws
before any route is served. PHP starts every request from nothing, so that
check runs on every request that reaches the engine.

The settlement gate the engine relies on lives in `openreceive_meta`, not in
memory. That is why a fleet of PHP-FPM workers shares one wallet-scan budget,
with no worker process of its own. Later OpenReceive requests also settle
pending invoices, so a payer who closes the tab is still covered. `authorize`
runs on every request.
→ [Engine](https://openreceive.org/guides/api-reference.md#openreceiveserverengine) ·
[Host](https://openreceive.org/guides/api-reference.md#openreceivehost) ·
[the authorize context](https://openreceive.org/guides/api-reference.md#the-authorize-context-php)

**Cross-site requests.** Plain PHP has no CSRF layer, just like Express, and the
engine does not need one. Every mounted route refuses a request whose
`Sec-Fetch-Site` header says `cross-site`. So a form or script on another
origin cannot create invoices using a payer's cookie. That makes
`<meta name="csrf-token">` optional. If you set it, the checkout sends the value
back as `X-CSRF-Token` (or the header named by `csrf-header`) for your own layer
to check.

The engine's check does NOT cover two cases:

- A browser too old to send `Sec-Fetch-Site`. The header is absent, and an
  absent header passes.
- Anything that is not a browser at all. A script holding a stolen cookie is a
  session problem, not a forgery problem.

`authorize` is still the boundary that decides whether *this caller* may act on
*this order* ([Security](https://openreceive.org/guides/security.md)).

For public web shops, turn on the per-IP invoice cap with `rateLimiting: true`
on `Engine`. Leave it off (the default) when many payers share one IP. Behind a
proxy, pass `clientIp: fn ($request) => …` so the cap counts the payer, not the
proxy. → [Rate limiting](https://openreceive.org/guides/rate-limiting.md)

Your app also needs an ordinary order-creation route. It validates the cart,
prices with exact decimal math, and returns the order id. The page then passes
that id as the `reference`. OpenReceive never prices from payer input.

The `reference` is a string you choose, and it is the fulfillment identity. Use
your order id:

- one per thing you fulfill,
- created before checkout,
- kept across retries,
- never reused.

`onPaid` commits fulfillment once per reference, and a new checkout under a
reference that already settled is refused with 409. A fresh id per page load
would let one order be paid twice.

Naming: PHP APIs use camelCase methods and snake_case array keys
(`amount_msats`, `payment_hash`). The keys match the wire format. The mounted
HTTP routes and the browser snapshots are snake_case throughout.

### 5. Render checkout

Serve the compiled `styles.css` without Tailwind processing. Either import it
from JavaScript (with a CSS-capable bundler) or use a plain
`<link rel="stylesheet">`. Do not `@import` it into your Tailwind entry. Its
rules have low specificity, so your own styles can override checkout styles.
Scoping does not prevent that.

Unpack the release's `standalone-checkout-<version>.tar.gz` into a directory
your web server serves. This page uses `public/openreceive/`. Then add two tags
and the element:

```html
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/openreceive/openreceive-checkout.css" />
<script type="module" src="/openreceive/openreceive-checkout.js"></script>

<openreceive-checkout
  reference="<?= htmlspecialchars($order->id) ?>"
  prefix="/openreceive"
></openreceive-checkout>
```

The module registers `<openreceive-checkout>` as it loads. The element creates
the checkout for `reference`, then renders, polls and settles itself. The
stylesheet is scoped to what OpenReceive renders. The checkout follows the
payer's theme. On a page that always uses one theme, lock it with
`theme="dark"`. React, Vue, Svelte, and Angular apps use the matching wrapper
package instead, with the same attributes
([Frontend checkout](https://openreceive.org/guides/frontend-checkout.md)). A custom UI builds on
`@openreceive/browser/headless` ([Headless checkout](https://openreceive.org/guides/headless-checkout.md)).

Everything the checkout draws ships inside the JavaScript: the payment-method
icons, the wallet logos and the pay tutorials. There is no image file to copy
or serve and no asset option to set. Deploy your normal JavaScript and CSS
build output, including any generated JavaScript chunks. Bundlers with code
splitting can load tutorial screenshots only when a tutorial is first opened.
Single-file builds, including the standalone checkout, include them upfront. If
your Content-Security-Policy has a strict `img-src`, allow `data:`
([Provider registry](https://openreceive.org/guides/provider-registry.md#assets)).

`MANIFEST.json` in the tarball carries the version and a SHA-256 per file. You
can use it to check a copied tree against the release it came from. Keep the
tarball version in step with the Composer package.

Buy a Button
(`examples/buttons/server/php-plain`)
is a runnable illustration of this boundary. It is not a template to copy
models from. It has products, visitors, and orders, and the three hooks are the
only bridge. Map that shape onto the models in THIS app.

### 6. Verify

```php
foreach (\OpenReceive\Server\Doctor::report(
    \OpenReceive\Server\Service::processEnvironment(),
    $host,
    static fn () => \OpenReceive\Server\Service::fromEnvironment(),
    '/openreceive',
) as $line) echo $line, PHP_EOL;
```

`Doctor::report()` prints:

- every credential as set or unset, never its value;
- the host class, and which of the three methods are still the scaffolded
  placeholders (`Hosts\AllowAllAuthorize`, `Hosts\LoggingOnPaid`). The engine
  also warns at boot while either is in use;
- where the handler is mounted;
- the receive-only wallet preflight.

`$engine->doctor()` is the same report for an engine you already built. Put it
behind a `bin/doctor` script. The demo's is twelve lines.
→ [Doctor](https://openreceive.org/guides/api-reference.md#openreceiveserverdoctor)

Then open the checkout in a browser. Confirm the payment-method icons and
wallet logos render, and open a wallet's pay tutorial to check its screenshots.
If an image is missing, check the console for CSP violations and the Network
panel for failed JavaScript chunks. Allow `data:` in `img-src` and deploy the
complete build output. Do not add image routes, copy package source images, or
use registry `icon_path` / tutorial `path` keys as browser URLs.

### Reconciliation

Settlement runs on the request path. Every payment route first runs one bounded
reconcile pass through the durable `openreceive_meta` gate. The gate allows at
most one real wallet scan every 3 seconds, shared by every PHP process. You do
not need a cron job. Tune or disable it with `Engine`'s
`opportunisticReconcile` (`false`, or `['min_interval_seconds' => …]`).

Optionally, run one worker so settlement does not wait for the next page load:

```php
$engine->notificationsWorker()->run();   // blocks: an NWC-02 listener plus a periodic pass
```

Run it as its own long-lived process (`php bin/notifications`). To run a pass
yourself, use the one-shot `$engine->reconcile()`.
→ [Engine notificationsWorker](https://openreceive.org/guides/api-reference.md#engine-notificationsworker)

### Swap secrets

Setting `LSC_URI_PRIMARY` (and `LSC_URI_BACKUP`) auto-builds the matching swap
providers. Nothing in your code changes. One `openreceive_payments` row holds
at most one provider order, in its server-only `swap_data`. The repository
never selects it into public arrays. Do not log it or return it from your own
API.

**Setting either connection string commits you to refunds.** A deposit that
arrives short or late is claimed on a second visit. That needs a per-order URL
your app serves, and the attempt's `payment_hash` kept.
[Swap refunds](https://openreceive.org/guides/swap-refunds.md) covers all of it. Read it before you set
`LSC_URI_PRIMARY`.
