NebPay is an officially released payment tool for Nebulas BlockChain, which could be used to meet the payment requirement in Dapp.
Dapp users need to send transactions while using a Dapp. However, it’s extremely insecure to import your wallet file or entering your private key directly into the Dapp page. Therefore Nebulas provides NebPay as an oficial payment interface. Dapp developers can use NebPay as a payment channel in their Dapp. The Dapp user needs to install a browser plug-in (desktop) or a wallet APP (mobile) to complete the payment initiated by the Dapp page.
If your Dapp page needs to interact with the Nebulas network for other non-trading information, such as querying data and subscribing to events, then you can use neb.js to communicate directly with the Nebulas BlockChain.
NebPay provides 4 payment APIs and 1 transaction query API according to different payment scenarios. Please refer to documents of NebPay to get more datailed information.
