BTCPay Server Zano Plugin — Testing Guide

What is this?

A BTCPay Server plugin that lets merchants accept Zano (ZANO) payments. When a customer pays an invoice, the plugin:

1. Generates a unique integrated address (embeds a payment ID so each invoice gets its own address)
2. Shows a checkout page with QR code, address, and "Pay in wallet" button
3. Polls the Zano wallet every 15 seconds via get_bulk_payments RPC to detect incoming payments
4. Tracks confirmations and settles the invoice based on the merchant's threshold setting

Built by forking the Monero BTCPay plugin and adapting it for Zano's RPC API.

QA Instance

• URL: https://btcpay.zano.me
• Server: obscura (157.180.1.140)
• Daemon: Zano testnet remote node (37.27.100.59:10505)
• Wallet: freshly generated testnet wallet inside Docker

Manual Testing (QA Engineer)

Prerequisites

• A Zano testnet wallet with some balance (get testnet ZANO from https://faucet.testnet.zano.org)
• A browser

Test 1: Setup & Enable Zano

1. Go to https://btcpay.zano.me
2. Register a new admin account (first user becomes admin)
3. Create a store (any name)
4. In the left sidebar under Wallets, click Zano
5. Verify: The settings page shows:
   • Node available: True
   • Wallet RPC available: True
   • Synced: True (with current block height)
6. Check Enabled
7. Set "Consider the invoice settled when the payment transaction..." to Zero Confirmation
8. Click Save

Expected: Green success message, Zano stays enabled on page reload.

Test 2: Create Invoice with Zano

1. Go to Invoices in the sidebar
2. Click Create Invoice
3. Set Amount: 1, Currency: ZANO (USD won't work without a rate source configured)
4. Click Create
5. Click the invoice link to open the checkout page

Expected:

• Shows amount: 1.010000000000 ZANO (1 ZANO + 0.01 network fee)
• Shows an integrated address starting with iZ
• QR code is displayed
• "Pay in wallet" button is present (opens zano: URI)
• "View Details" shows the full address and amount breakdown

Test 3: Pay an Invoice

1. Create an invoice as above
2. Copy the integrated address from the checkout page
3. From your testnet wallet, send the exact amount shown to that address:

   transfer <integrated_address> <amount_in_atomic_units> 10
   

   For 1.01 ZANO: amount = 1010000000000 atomic units
4. Wait up to 30 seconds on the checkout page

Expected:

• Checkout page updates to show "Processing" or "Paid"
• With Zero Confirmation setting, invoice should settle almost immediately
• Invoice details page shows payment with tx hash, confirmations count

Test 4: Confirmation Tracking

1. Set confirmation threshold to At Least One in Zano settings
2. Create and pay a new invoice
3. Watch the invoice status

Expected:

• Invoice shows "Processing" immediately after payment detected
• After 1 block confirmation (~1 minute on testnet), status changes to "Settled"
• Confirmation count updates on each poll (every 15 seconds)

Test 5: Multiple Invoices

1. Create 3 invoices with different amounts
2. Pay one of them
3. Check that only the paid invoice changes status

Expected: Each invoice has a unique integrated address. Payment to one doesn't affect the others.

Test 6: Underpayment

1. Create an invoice for 2 ZANO
2. Send only 1 ZANO to the integrated address

Expected: Invoice remains in "New" or shows partial payment, doesn't settle.

Test 7: Settings Persistence

1. Enable Zano, set Custom confirmation threshold to 5
2. Save, navigate away, come back to Zano settings

Expected: Settings are preserved (Enabled, Custom, value 5).

Automated E2E Testing (Playwright CLI)

Prerequisites

• Node.js with npx tsx available
• Playwright installed (npm install playwright in ~/.claude/scripts/)
• BTCPay Server running locally or accessible URL
• Zano wallet RPC accessible

Running the test

# Against local instance
npx tsx ~/.claude/scripts/btcpay-zano-e2e.ts

# Against QA instance (edit BASE_URL in the script first)
BASE_URL=https://btcpay.zano.me npx tsx ~/.claude/scripts/btcpay-zano-e2e.ts

What the script tests

Step	Action	Verification
1	Register admin account	Redirects to dashboard
2	Create store "Test Store"	Store appears in nav
3	Navigate to Zano settings	Shows Node/Wallet status
4	Enable Zano + Zero Confirmation	Settings saved successfully
5	Create 1 ZANO invoice	Invoice created, ID assigned
6	Open checkout page	Integrated address (iZ...) displayed, QR code rendered
7	Attempt payment via wallet RPC	Transfer call made (may fail if wallet has no funds)
8	Check invoice status	Status page accessible

Screenshots

Saved to /tmp/btcpay-zano-e2e/:

• 01-landing.png — Initial page
• 06-zano-settings.png — Zano settings with node status
• 07-zano-settings-configured.png — Enabled + threshold set
• 12-checkout-page.png — Checkout with QR code and address
• 14-invoice-details.png — Invoice admin view

Adapting the script

Key variables at the top of btcpay-zano-e2e.ts:

const BASE_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:23002';  // BTCPay Server URL
const WALLET_RPC = 'http://127.0.0.1:11212/json_rpc';  // Zano wallet RPC
const EMAIL = 'admin@test.com';
const PASSWORD = 'Test1234!Test1234!';

What to look for (common issues)

Symptom	Likely cause
Zano not in sidebar	Plugin not loaded — check BTCPay logs for "Plugins.Zano"
"Node available: False"	Daemon RPC unreachable — check BTCPAY_ZANO_DAEMON_URI
"Wallet RPC available: False"	simplewallet not running or wrong port
"Synced: False"	Daemon still syncing — wait or use a synced remote node
Invoice shows no Zano option	Zano not enabled for this store
Payment not detected	Check wallet is connected to same daemon, check get_bulk_payments response
Wrong amount displayed	Divisibility issue (should be 12 decimal places)
Address doesn't start with iZ	Integrated address generation failed — check make_integrated_address RPC

Architecture

Customer → BTCPay checkout page → shows integrated address + QR
                                     ↓
                              Payment sent to address
                                     ↓
BTCPay plugin (every 15s) → get_bulk_payments(payment_ids) → wallet RPC
                                     ↓
                              Payment matched by payment_id
                                     ↓
                              Invoice status: Processing → Settled

RPC calls used

Method	Target	Purpose
getinfo	Daemon	Sync status, block height
get_wallet_info	Wallet	Wallet height, address
make_integrated_address	Wallet	Generate unique address per invoice
get_bulk_payments	Wallet	Detect payments by payment_id
getbalance	Wallet	Balance check
