The Beans Merchant SDK offers a comprehensive toolkit for integrating the advanced payment capabilities of the Beans platform directly into your JavaScript applications. This SDK is designed to simplify the integration process, allowing you to leverage the Beans Merchant API's full potential without needing to manage the intricacies of direct API calls. By incorporating the Beans Merchant SDK, developers can unlock a wide range of use cases.
-
Build an In-Person Merchant POS: Facilitate in-person point of sale at stores or restaurants by generating payment requests through QR codes. This combines the convenience of online transactions with the traditional in-store shopping experience.
-
Shopify App for Currency Flexibility: Develop a Shopify application that empowers merchants to request payments in their preferred currency while offering customers the flexibility to pay in theirs. This functionality enhances the shopping experience, catering to a global customer base.
-
Integrate Beans as Your On/Off Ramp Partner: Streamline your application's payment infrastructure by using Beans as your central on/off ramp partner. This integration saves significant development time and resources by eliminating the need to individually integrate multiple on/off ramp solutions.
-
Monetize Your GPT Applications: For applications utilizing Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT), integrating Beans enables a monetization strategy where services can be accessed for free up to a certain limit, after which users are prompted to pay for additional usage or to purchase credits. This model is perfect for applications offering premium content or services on a per-use basis.

}Our platform utilizes Stellar blockchain technology to simplify digital transactions, making it accessible even to those unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies. We've streamlined the payment process using Stellar Lumen (XLM) and other cryptocurrencies, allowing you to transact in main currency units instead of dealing with complex conversions like stroops. For example, to request a payment of 1 XLM, you just set the amoun to "1" and our system automatically handles the conversion to 10,000,000 stroops, ensuring a user-friendly payment experience.
