Create charges from the dashboard or straight from your app, and a webhook tells you the moment one is paid. Only you can move the bitcoin back out.

What Bark Pay manages for you

  • One wallet you control: Every live charge settles into the same Barkd wallet on your server. Only you can spend from it. Test mode uses a separate signet wallet.
  • Every payment method: A charge offers Lightning, Ark, and on-chain when the amount fits each one. Bark Pay notifies your app when it settles.
  • Wallet maintenance: Like any off-chain protocol, Ark wallets require ongoing maintenance. Barkd handles all of it in the background for you.
