Today, cryptocurrencies and blockchain have changed a lot of traditional methods and solutions. In the cryptocurrency world, you own your money instead of trusting third parties like banks, as the cryptocurrency communities grow up it would be efficient that websites and applications let their clients pay them cryptocurrencies instead of fiats. Developing a payment platform to accept cryptocurrencies is a time-consuming process and need to write some smart contract on the blockchain to handle your client payments. Today, I’m gonna introduce you to a platform that you can use to implement your cryptocurrency payment gateway in just 2 mins. D-Gate Platform D-Gate is a D-App that is deployed on Binance Smart Chain to serve websites as a payment gateway. D-Gate website: https://d-gate.org Before start developing please make sure you've installed MetaMask wallet, it's needed to interact with the blockchain, If you've installed Let get started with D-Gate ... D-Gate has a dashboard to manage and see your account and your payments : https://dash.d-gate.org This is based on Binance Smart Chain (Mainnet). In this case, we want to create a test app to figure out how D-Gate works. So we can use the sandbox version of D-Gate (on Testnet) with fake BNB : https://testnet.d-gate.org You also can get some fake BNB (on Testnet), to test your app: https://testnet.binance.org/faucet-smart Create your first Express app with D-Gate 1- Create a project and install dependencies: $ mkdir dgate-example
$ cd dgate-example
$ npm init
$ npm i express @dgate/bsc
$ touch index.js 2- Copy code below into file. ./index.js app = ( )(); {DGate, Chain} = ( ); wallet = ; dg = DGate( wallet, Chain.Testnet ); invoices = []; lastInvoiceId = ; dg.onNewPayment( { invoice = invoices.find( { (
            inv.to.toLowerCase() === payment.to.toLowerCase()
            && inv.id === payment.id
            && inv.amount === payment.amount
        ){ ;
        }
    }); (invoice){ invoice.paid = ;
        invoice.time = payment.time; }

}); app.get( , (req, res)=>{
    res.json( invoices );
}); fixedAmount = ; app.get( , {
    lastInvoiceId++; id = lastInvoiceId; invoice = {id, to : wallet, amount : fixedAmount, paid : , time : };
    invoices.push(invoice); paymentUrl = dg.createPaymentUrl( invoice.id, invoice.amount, );

    res.redirect(paymentUrl);
}); app.get( , (req,res)=>{ id = (req.query.id); (id < ){ res.send( ); ;
    } invoice =  invoices.find( invoice.id === id ); (!invoice){ res.send( ); ;
    } (invoice.paid){ res.json(invoice); ;
    } payment ; { payment = dg.getPayment(id); invoice = invoices.find( invoice.id === payment.id ); (invoice && DGate.isSamePayment(invoice, payment) ){
            invoice.paid = ;
            invoice.time = payment.time;
        } res.json(invoice); ;
    } (e){ paymentLink = dg.createPaymentUrl( invoice.id, invoice.amount, ); res.send( ); ;
    }
});

app.listen( , { .log( );

If you haven't BNB on your Testnet wallet, you can get some BNB and test your app here: http://localhost:3000/new-invoice https://testnet.binance.org/faucet-smart After a successful payment, the gateway shows you a link to get back to your test app and you can see the invoice is paid successfully (in JSON format).
