# Payment Integration Guide
This guide shows how to sell your encrypted `.smsg` content and deliver license keys (passwords) to customers using popular payment processors.
## Overview
The dapp.fm model is simple:
```
1. Customer pays via Stripe/Gumroad/PayPal
2. Payment processor triggers webhook or delivers digital product
3. Customer receives password (license key)
4. Customer downloads .smsg from your CDN/IPFS
5. Customer decrypts with password - done forever
```
No license servers, no accounts, no ongoing infrastructure.
## Stripe Integration
### Option 1: Stripe Payment Links (Easiest)
No code required - use Stripe's hosted checkout:
1. Create a Payment Link in Stripe Dashboard
2. Set up a webhook to email the password on successful payment
3. Host your `.smsg` file anywhere (CDN, IPFS, S3)
**Webhook endpoint (Node.js/Express):**
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const app = express();
// Your content passwords (store securely!)
const PRODUCTS = {
'prod_ABC123': {
name: 'My Album',
password: 'PMVXogAJNVe_DDABfTmLYztaJAzsD0R7',
downloadUrl: 'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYourCID'
}
};
app.post('/webhook', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), async (req, res) => {
const sig = req.headers['stripe-signature'];
const endpointSecret = process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
let event;
try {
event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(req.body, sig, endpointSecret);
} catch (err) {
return res.status(400).send(`Webhook Error: ${err.message}`);
}
if (event.type === 'checkout.session.completed') {
const session = event.data.object;
const customerEmail = session.customer_details.email;
const productId = session.metadata.product_id;
const product = PRODUCTS[productId];
if (product) {
await sendLicenseEmail(customerEmail, product);
}
}
res.json({received: true});
});
async function sendLicenseEmail(email, product) {
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
// Configure your email provider
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: process.env.EMAIL_USER,
pass: process.env.EMAIL_PASS
}
});
await transporter.sendMail({
from: 'artist@example.com',
to: email,
subject: `Your License Key for ${product.name}`,
html: `
<h1>Thank you for your purchase!</h1>
<p><strong>Download:</strong> <a href="${product.downloadUrl}">${product.name}</a></p>
<p><strong>License Key:</strong> <code>${product.password}</code></p>
<p><strong>How to play:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Download the .smsg file from the link above</li>
<li>Go to <a href="https://demo.dapp.fm">demo.dapp.fm</a></li>
<li>Click "Fan" tab, then "Unlock Licensed Content"</li>
<li>Paste the file and enter your license key</li>
</ol>
<p>This is your permanent license - save this email!</p>
`
});
}
app.listen(3000);
```
### Option 2: Stripe Checkout Session (More Control)
```javascript
const stripe = require('stripe')(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
// Create checkout session
app.post('/create-checkout', async (req, res) => {
const { productId } = req.body;
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
payment_method_types: ['card'],
line_items: [{
price: 'price_ABC123', // Your Stripe price ID
quantity: 1,
}],
mode: 'payment',
success_url: 'https://yoursite.com/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
cancel_url: 'https://yoursite.com/cancel',
metadata: {
product_id: productId
}
});
res.json({ url: session.url });
});
// Success page - show license after payment
app.get('/success', async (req, res) => {
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.retrieve(req.query.session_id);
if (session.payment_status === 'paid') {
const product = PRODUCTS[session.metadata.product_id];
res.send(`
<h1>Thank you!</h1>
<p>Download: <a href="${product.downloadUrl}">${product.name}</a></p>
<p>License Key: <code>${product.password}</code></p>
`);
} else {
res.send('Payment not completed');
}
});
```
## Gumroad Integration
Gumroad is perfect for artists - handles payments, delivery, and customer management.
### Setup
1. Create a Digital Product on Gumroad
2. Upload a text file or PDF containing the password
3. Set your `.smsg` download URL in the product description
4. Gumroad delivers the password file on purchase
### Product Setup
**Product Description:**
```
My Album - Encrypted Digital Download
After purchase, you'll receive:
1. A license key (in the download)
2. Download link for the .smsg file
How to play:
1. Download the .smsg file: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYourCID
2. Go to https://demo.dapp.fm
3. Click "Fan" → "Unlock Licensed Content"
4. Enter your license key from the PDF
```
**Delivered File (license.txt):**
```
Your License Key: PMVXogAJNVe_DDABfTmLYztaJAzsD0R7
Download your content: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYourCID
This is your permanent license - keep this file safe!
The content works offline forever with this key.

### Gumroad Ping (Webhook)
For automated delivery, use Gumroad's Ping feature:
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
// Gumroad sends POST to this endpoint on sale
app.post('/gumroad-ping', (req, res) => {
const {
seller_id,
product_id,
email,
full_name,
purchaser_id
} = req.body;
// Verify it's from Gumroad (check seller_id matches yours)
if (seller_id !== process.env.GUMROAD_SELLER_ID) {
return res.status(403).send('Invalid seller');
}
const product = PRODUCTS[product_id];
if (product) {
// Send custom email with password
sendLicenseEmail(email, product);
}
res.send('OK');
});
```
## PayPal Integration
### PayPal Buttons + IPN
```html
<!-- PayPal Buy Button -->
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="artist@example.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="My Album - Digital Download">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="album-001">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="9.99">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="https://yoursite.com/paypal-ipn">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://yoursite.com/thank-you">
<input type="submit" value="Buy Now - $9.99">
</form>
```
**IPN Handler:**
```javascript
const express = require('express');
const axios = require('axios');
app.post('/paypal-ipn', express.urlencoded({ extended: true }), async (req, res) => {
// Verify with PayPal
const verifyUrl = 'https://ipnpb.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr';
const verifyBody = 'cmd=_notify-validate&' + new URLSearchParams(req.body).toString();
const response = await axios.post(verifyUrl, verifyBody);
if (response.data === 'VERIFIED' && req.body.payment_status === 'Completed') {
const email = req.body.payer_email;
const itemNumber = req.body.item_number;
const product = PRODUCTS[itemNumber];
if (product) {
await sendLicenseEmail(email, product);
}
}
res.send('OK');
});
```
## Ko-fi Integration
Ko-fi is great for tips and single purchases.
### Setup
1. Enable "Commissions" or "Shop" on Ko-fi
2. Create a product with the license key in the thank-you message
3. Link to your .smsg download
**Ko-fi Thank You Message:**
```
Thank you for your purchase!
Your License Key: PMVXogAJNVe_DDABfTmLYztaJAzsD0R7
Download: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYourCID
Play at: https://demo.dapp.fm (Fan → Unlock Licensed Content)
```
## Serverless Options
### Vercel/Netlify Functions
No server needed - use serverless functions:
```javascript
// api/stripe-webhook.js (Vercel)
import Stripe from 'stripe';
import { Resend } from 'resend';
const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
const resend = new Resend(process.env.RESEND_API_KEY);
export default async function handler(req, res) {
if (req.method !== 'POST') {
return res.status(405).end();
}
const sig = req.headers['stripe-signature'];
const event = stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(
req.body,
sig,
process.env.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
);
if (event.type === 'checkout.session.completed') {
const session = event.data.object;
await resend.emails.send({
from: 'artist@yoursite.com',
to: session.customer_details.email,
subject: 'Your License Key',
html: `
<p>Download: <a href="https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYourCID">My Album</a></p>
<p>License Key: <code>PMVXogAJNVe_DDABfTmLYztaJAzsD0R7</code></p>
`
});
}
res.json({ received: true });
}
export const config = {
api: { bodyParser: false }
};
```
## Manual Workflow (No Code)
For artists who don't want to set up webhooks:
### Using Email
1. **Gumroad/Ko-fi**: Set product to require email
2. **Manual delivery**: Check sales daily, email passwords manually
3. **Template**:
```
Subject: Your License for [Album Name]
Hi [Name],
Thank you for your purchase!
Download: [IPFS/CDN link]
License Key: [password]
How to play:
1. Download the .smsg file
2. Go to demo.dapp.fm
3. Fan tab → Unlock Licensed Content
4. Enter your license key
Enjoy! This license works forever.
[Artist Name]
```
### Using Discord/Telegram
1. Sell via Gumroad (free tier)
2. Require customers join your Discord/Telegram
3. Bot or manual delivery of license keys
4. Community building bonus!
## Security Best Practices
### 1. One Password Per Product
Don't reuse passwords across products:
```javascript
const PRODUCTS = {
'album-2024': { password: 'unique-key-1' },
'album-2023': { password: 'unique-key-2' },
'single-summer': { password: 'unique-key-3' }
};
```
### 2. Environment Variables
Never hardcode passwords in source:
```bash
# .env
ALBUM_2024_PASSWORD=PMVXogAJNVe_DDABfTmLYztaJAzsD0R7
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_...
```
### 3. Webhook Verification
Always verify webhooks are from the payment provider:
```javascript
// Stripe
stripe.webhooks.constructEvent(body, sig, secret);
// Gumroad
if (seller_id !== MY_SELLER_ID) reject();
// PayPal
verify with IPN endpoint
```
### 4. HTTPS Only
All webhook endpoints must use HTTPS.
## Pricing Strategies
### Direct Sale (Perpetual License)
- Customer pays once, owns forever
- Single password for all buyers
- Best for: Albums, films, books
### Time-Limited (Streaming/Rental)
Use dapp.fm Re-Key feature:
1. Encrypt master copy with master password
2. On purchase, re-key with customer-specific password + expiry
3. Deliver unique password per customer
```javascript
// On purchase webhook
const customerPassword = generateUniquePassword();
const expiry = Date.now() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); // 24 hours
// Use WASM or Go to re-key
const customerVersion = await rekeyContent(masterSmsg, masterPassword, customerPassword, expiry);
// Deliver customer-specific file + password
```
### Tiered Access
Different passwords for different tiers:
```javascript
const TIERS = {
'preview': { password: 'preview-key', expiry: '30s' },
'rental': { password: 'rental-key', expiry: '7d' },
'own': { password: 'perpetual-key', expiry: null }
};
```
## Example: Complete Stripe Setup
```bash
# 1. Create your content
go run ./cmd/mkdemo album.mp4 album.smsg
# Password: PMVXogAJNVe_DDABfTmLYztaJAzsD0R7
# 2. Upload to IPFS
ipfs add album.smsg
# QmAlbumCID
# 3. Create Stripe product
# Dashboard → Products → Add Product
# Name: My Album
# Price: $9.99
# 4. Create Payment Link
# Dashboard → Payment Links → New
# Select your product
# Get link: https://buy.stripe.com/xxx
# 5. Set up webhook
# Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint
# URL: https://yoursite.com/api/stripe-webhook
# Events: checkout.session.completed
# 6. Deploy webhook handler (Vercel example)
vercel deploy
# 7. Share payment link
# Fans click → Pay → Get email with password → Download → Play forever
```
