Advanced payment methods
One can pay a request in 2 steps to show his contractor that funds are available without making them available. In the first step, the
PayEscrow method from the payment-processor will lock funds until the payer approves the work done. The payer will then use the method payRequestFromEscrow to unlock funds.The escrow contract is deployed on all the chains supported by the Request Network Protocol and is available here. For now, it is only compatible with ERC20FeeProxy requests.
To create a streaming payment request, you have to follow the same steps as for Create an ERC20 request but you will need to add a new kind of extension, identified with ERC777_STREAM.
For example, one stream will probably be used to pay many requests in a row for a subscription.
The first request will be created with the usual parameters:
extensions: {
[ExtensionTypes.PAYMENT_NETWORK_ID.ERC777_STREAM]: {
events: [], id: ExtensionTypes.PAYMENT_NETWORK_ID.ERC777_STREAM,
type: ExtensionTypes.TYPE.PAYMENT_NETWORK,
values: {
paymentAddress,
salt,
feeAddress,
feeAmount,
refundAddress
},
version: '0.1.0',
},
},
Subsequent requests are created with the following:
extensions: {
[ExtensionTypes.PAYMENT_NETWORK_ID.ERC777_STREAM]: {
events: [], id: ExtensionTypes.PAYMENT_NETWORK_ID.ERC777_STREAM,
type: ExtensionTypes.TYPE.PAYMENT_NETWORK,
values: {
// For indexing purpose, originalRequestId is the first request created for the stream
originalRequestId,
// For balance computation, the request before this one to be paid by the stream
previousRequestId,
// For balance and indexing, rank in the series. 1 when originalRequestId = previousRequestId
recurrenceNumber
},
version: '0.1.0',
},
},
