Building diagonal.finance - The API for crypto payments | Rainmaker chainforest.xyz

this looks really slick - we’re looking for fiat initially but it on-chain was easy enough it’d be a no brainer for us

You can integrate programmatic checkout sessions in just 7 lines of code, or use our Dashboard to create Links and get paid without writing any code (as in the demo).

Diagonal connects with trad PPS (eg Stripe), enabling you to unify the way you handle invoices, receipts, and reporting, across crypto and fiat stacks.
