Web Monetization Revenue Sharing

Use web monetization probabilistic revenue sharing in the backend together with a smart contract. Also able to include receipt verification. This module uses as default smart contract connection settings for Infura.

Install

npm install web-monetization-revenue-share

Setup

Smart Contract ABI

You can find an example of a working Smart Contract here.

Get the ABI of your smart contract (make sure there is at least one payment pointer in the smart contract)

Store ABI in your project (eg: smartContractInfo.json)

{
  "address": "yourSmartContractAddress",
  "ABI": [
    // your smart contract ABI
  ]
}

Payment Pointers List

Create a list of payment pointers in case you don't want to use a smart contract (eg: paymentPointers.js)

const pointers = {
  '$alice.example': 50,
  '$bob.example': 40,
  '$connie.example': 9,
  '$dave.example': 1
}

module.exports = pointers

Config File

Create a config file to store all the parameters required (eg: config.js)

const config = {
  server: {
    port: 1337
  },
  useSmartContract: 'true',
  useReceiptVerification: 'false',
  paymentPointersPath: './paymentPointers',
  receiptVerification:{ 
    service: 'https://webmonetization.org/api/receipts/',
    verifier: 'https://webmonetization.org/api/receipts/verify'
  },
  smartContract: {
    provider: 'rinkeby', // use the network of your choice
    key: yourKeyForRinkeby, // eg: If using Infura to access rinkeby use your Infura Project Key here 
    smartContractInfoFilePath: './smartContractInfo.json'
  }
};
  
module.exports = config;

Use

const wmRevenueShare = require('web-monetization-revenue-share')
wmRevenueShare.setUp('/config')
const paymentPointerUrl = await wmRevenueShare.getPointerUrl()

Express Example

How to include it into your expressJS server.

server.js (on the backend)

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
var cors = require('cors')
const config = require('./config')
const wmRevenueShare = require('web-monetization-revenue-share')

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }))
app.use(cors())

const PORT = config.server.port;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`App is running on port ${PORT}`);
});

wmRevenueShare.setUp('./config')

// Your endpoint that you will reach from the frontend.
app.post('/verifyReceipt', async (req, res) => {
  const resp = await fetch(config.receiptVerification.verifier, {
    method: 'POST',
    body: req.body.receipt
  })

  const { amount } = await resp.json()
  console.log('Received ' + amount)

  // backend logic for new paid amount

  res.send({ message: 'ok', data: { received: amount } })
})

app.get('/', async function (req, res, next) {
  // is this request meant for Web Monetization?
  
  if (req.header('accept').includes('application/spsp4+json')) {
    console.log('Revenue sharing active')
    const paymentPointerUrl = await wmRevenueShare.getPointerUrl()
    console.log(`Payment pointer: ${paymentPointerUrl}`)

    // redirect to our chosen payment pointer so they get paid
    res.redirect(302, paymentPointerUrl)
  } else {
    // if the request is not for Web Monetization, do nothing
    console.log('Revenue sharing not active')
    next()
  }
})

index.ejs (on the frontend)

Your frontend could be hosted on a different server, if desired

<head>
  <meta name="monetization" content="https://your-deployed-server-instance-url/">  
  
  <!-- Use this script for receipt verification -->
  <script>

    if (document.monetization) {
      document.monetization.addEventListener('monetizationprogress', async event => {
        // A payment has been received.
        console.log('A payment has been received.')
        console.log(event.detail.receipt)

        // Connect to your site’s backend to validate the payment. This does NOT connect directly to the receipt verifier.
        const res = await fetch('https://your-deployed-server-instance-url/verifyReceipt', {
          method: 'POST',
          headers: {
            'content-type': 'application/json'
          },
          body: JSON.stringify({
            receipt: event.detail.receipt
          })
        })
      })
    }
  </script>
</head>
