Your First Payment

Once you've created a business, you'll be redirected to your dashboard.

**Dashboard URL pattern:**
`/${bizId}/dashboard`

Where `bizId` is your unique business identifier (e.g., `biz_abc123def456`).

**What you'll see:**
- Available balance (in USD)
- Network selector (Base, Ethereum, etc.)
- Action buttons (Accept, Send, etc.)
- Recent activity feed
- Deposit address section

Checkout links are shareable payment URLs that customers can use to pay you.

**To create a checkout link:**

1. Click the "Accept" button or navigate to `/checkout-links/create`
2. Fill in the payment details:
   - **Plan Name**: Display name for the payment (e.g., "Website Design")
   - **Plan**: Internal identifier (e.g., "web-design")
   - **Description**: Detailed description for customers
   - **Price**: Amount in USD (e.g., "150.00")
   - **Billing Type**: Recurring or One-Time
   - **Initial Fee**: Optional upfront charge
   - **Trial Days**: Optional free trial period
   - **Stock**: Optional inventory limit
3. Click "Create Link"
4. Copy the generated link

**Example:**
```typescript
await createCheckoutLink("biz_abc123", {
  planName: "Website Design Package",
  plan: "web-design",
  description: "Full website redesign with 5 pages",
  price: "150.00",
  billing: "one-time",
  initialFee: "",
  trial: "",
  stock: "10",
});
```

Once created, share your checkout link with customers through any channel:

**Sharing Options:**
- **Direct URL**: Copy and paste the link
- **QR Code**: Generate a QR code for in-person payments
- **Email**: Send via email to customers
- **Social Media**: Share on Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
- **Embed**: Add to your website as a button or widget

**Best Practices:**
- Use clear, descriptive plan names
- Include the price in the description
- Test the link before sharing with customers

Customers can pay using any supported wallet on the Base Sepolia network.

**Customer Payment Flow:**

1. Customer clicks your checkout link
2. They see the payment details (amount, plan name, description)
3. They connect their wallet (MetaMask, Rainbow, etc.)
4. They approve the USDC transfer
5. The transaction is processed on-chain
6. They receive a confirmation

**Minimum Requirements:**
- Customer must have USDC on Base Sepolia
- Customer needs a compatible wallet
- Network fee (gas) is paid by the sender

After the customer sends payment, verify it was successful.

**Automatic Verification:**
- Transactions are automatically detected on-chain
- Status updates in real-time
- Email notifications (if configured)

**Manual Verification:**
1. Go to your dashboard
2. Check the "Activity" section
3. Look for the pending transaction
4. Verify the transaction hash on BaseScan

**Transaction Statuses:**
- `pending`: Transaction initiated, awaiting confirmation
- `verifying`: Being processed
- `confirmed`: Payment successful
- `expired`: Payment link expired
- `failed`: Transaction failed
