The Problem
Payment processors take 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. For a $10 digital product, that's a 6% cut. Plus monthly fees, chargeback risk, and KYC requirements.
The Solution
Accept SOL (Solana) directly and verify the payment on-chain. Zero fees. Zero chargebacks. Zero middlemen.
How It Works
1. Show Payment Page
Display your wallet address and the price in SOL.
2. User Sends SOL
They send from any Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)
3. User Enters Transaction Signature
After sending, they paste the transaction signature.
4. Verify On-Chain
const { Connection } = require('@solana/web3.js');
async function verifyPayment(signature, expectedWallet, expectedAmount) {
const conn = new Connection('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');
const tx = await conn.getTransaction(signature, {
commitment: 'confirmed',
maxSupportedTransactionVersion: 0,
});
if (!tx || !tx.meta) return false;
// Check recipient received expected amount
const accounts = tx.transaction.message.staticAccountKeys ||
tx.transaction.message.accountKeys;
for (let i = 0; i < accounts.length; i++) {
if (accounts[i].toString() === expectedWallet) {
const received = (tx.meta.postBalances[i] - tx.meta.preBalances[i]) / 1e9;
if (received >= expectedAmount * 0.99) { // 1% tolerance
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
5. Deliver Product
If verified, show the download link.
In Production
I use this pattern across 5 product pages:
- Bot source code (2 SOL)
- Grid trading bot (0.5 SOL)
- DeFi toolkit (0.3 SOL)
- Trading guide (0.2 SOL)
- Prompt pack (0.1 SOL)
Zero payment processing fees. No chargebacks. Instant settlement.
