Coinbase Configuration
Connect your Coinbase account and your Slyk to receive programmatic $USDC, $BTC, and any other crypto payments for your time, products, services, community, and upside.
Step-by-step Configuration
1 - Login to your Slyk dashboard.
2 - Click "Settings" in the left menu
3 - Click "Payment Methods"
If your e-commerce currency is one of Slyk's crypto options ($USDC, $BTC, $ETH) , the next screen will list the available crypto payment methods, including Coinbase. There are two ways to use Coinbase with your Slyk Startup:
Manual: just enter the email associated with your coinbase account. You'll receive an email notification from Slyk when your members make purchases by sending crypto to the Coinbase account associated with your email, but you will need to confirm that the funds were actually received in your Coinbase account. This is fine to get started but will become tedious and error-prone as your crypto sales grow.
Automated: Click "Connect" to set up automatic payments with Coinbase. Whem members make crypto payments to your coinbase account you will receive notifications from both Slyk (confirming purchase as with manual) and Coinbase will send you an email confirming the payment.
4 - Coinbase Automated Payments.
In order to connect your Coinbase and Slyk accounts for automated payments, you will need to copy/paste information from Slyk to Coinbase (Permitted Redirect URLs and Notification URL), and from Coinbase into Slyk (Client ID and Client Secret).
We'll walk you through the Slyk<=>Coinbase Connection Setup Below: .
Your Slyk must be denominated in a crypto currency accepted by Coinbase in order to Coinbase appear in the list (BTC, ETH or USDC).
Please contact us in case you're struggling.
