Make a payment

Once you've authorized a user, you may use their credentials to push transactions on their behalf. This can be done by passing payment parameters through the wallet.pay function:

const {HandCashConnect} = require('@handcash/handcash-connect');
const handCashConnect = new HandCashConnect({ 
   appId: '<app-id>', 
   appSecret: '<secret>',
}); 
const account = handCashConnect.getAccountFromAuthToken(token);
const paymentParameters = {
    note: "Hold my beer!🍺",
    payments: [
        { destination: 'nosetwo', currencyCode: 'BSV', sendAmount: 0.001 },
    ]
};
const paymentResult = await account.wallet.pay(paymentParameters);
console.log(paymentResult);

Pay-to-many

The Connect SDK allows up to 1000 recipients per payment. To send to multiple people, add more recipients to the payments array while assigning your payment parameters:

const paymentParameters = {
    description: "Hold my beer!🍺",
    payments: [
        { to: 'eyeone', currencyCode: 'BSV', amount: 0.004 },
        { to: 'BrandonC', currencyCode: 'BSV', amount: 0.0005 },
        { to: '[email protected]', currencyCode: 'EUR', amount: 0.25 },
        { to: '131xrWSKXHbhucFPTfZqnxF8ZhjpMxJH7K', currencyCode: 'USD', amount: 0.25 },
    ]
};
