Payment workflow

Purchase order created

The seller uses the SDK method order.create with the following details: amount, recipient (address), description, public key. This information is signed with the seller’s conFIEL wallet to generate a JSON Web Token (JWT) with a QR Code able to be scanned as a payment order.

Purchase order scanned

The buyer scans an order QR, where they can see the information for the purchase order. If they accept to acquire the item, their conFIEL wallet signs the transaction, and generates the barebones of a escrowCreate transaction, alongside a time-locked encrypted Fulfillment, included as MemoData.

Escrow Transaction submitted

The buyer submits the signed escrowCreate transaction, which can be indexed by the seller’s wallet. Once indexed, the seller sees the details of the transaction and decides to release the item thebuyer bought.

Escrow Transaction released

Once the seller has released the item, the buyer can release the escrow by submitting the Fulfillment transaction. Alternatively, once the time lock has expired, the buyer can release the escrow themselves within their own conFIEL wallet.
