Business Payments

Aruvi isn't just for individuals. Here's how to use it for business payments while maintaining privacy.

Business Dashboard​

The Business section in Aruvi provides:

  • Payment overview: See incoming payments
  • Invoice management: Create and track invoices
  • Customer tools: Payment links and QR codes
  • Analytics: Volume and trends (privacy-preserving)

Creating Invoices​

For business-to-business or customer invoices:

  1. Go to Business → Create Invoice
  2. Fill in:
    • Customer identifier (optional, for your records)
    • Amount
    • Description
    • Due date
  3. Generate the invoice
  4. Share via link, email, or QR code

When paid, the invoice automatically marks complete.

Selling something specific? Create a dedicated payment link:

  1. Business → Payment Links
  2. Click Create New Link
  3. Set:
    • Product/service name
    • Fixed amount or variable
    • Link name (for your tracking)
  4. Get your link and QR code

Use these for:

  • Website checkout buttons
  • Point-of-sale QR displays
  • Email "Pay Now" links
  • Social media payment requests

QR Codes​

Every payment link generates a QR code. Uses:

In-Store Payments​

Print the QR code. Customers scan with their phone, confirm, done.

On Receipts​

Add QR code to receipts for tips or additional purchases.

At Events​

Display codes for ticket sales, donations, or merchandise.

Download Options​

  • SVG (scalable, good for print)
  • PNG (standard image format)

Privacy for Business​

Business payments have some different privacy considerations:

What You See​

  • All incoming payments
  • Customer addresses
  • Amounts (decrypted for you)

What Customers See​

  • Your receiving address
  • The amount they paid
  • Transaction confirmation

What Third Parties See​

  • Payment happened
  • Addresses involved
  • Not amounts or details

Reporting and Taxes​

You can decrypt all your received amounts for accounting. Export your transaction history for records.

Aruvi doesn't provide tax advice — consult professionals for your jurisdiction.

Accepting Payments​

The easiest way to accept payments on your website is with the Aruvi SDK:

<!-- Add to your website -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@aruvi/sdk/dist/aruvi-sdk.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@aruvi/sdk/dist/aruvi-sdk.css">

<div id="pay-button"></div>

<script>
  Aruvi.init({ environment: 'testnet' });
  
  Aruvi.button('#pay-button', {
    amount: '29.99',
    merchant: '0xYOUR_WALLET',
    description: 'Product Name',
    onSuccess: (result) => {
      // Payment complete! Deliver the product
      window.location.href = '/thank-you';
    }
  });
</script>

This gives your customers a professional checkout experience with wallet connection, payment confirmation, and success handling.

For email invoices, social media, or quick sharing:

https://app.aruvi.io/pay?to=YOUR_ADDRESS&amount=100&desc=Invoice%20123

Or generate links programmatically:

const link = Aruvi.createPaymentLink({
  amount: '100.00',
  merchant: '0xYourAddress',
  description: 'Invoice #123'
});

QR Codes​

Every payment link can be converted to a QR code for:

  • In-store displays
  • Printed invoices
  • Event tickets
  • Restaurant tables

API Integration​

For advanced integrations, see the Developer Integration Guide.

Managing Customers​

Without Collecting Data​

You can accept payments without storing any customer data:

  • They pay, you deliver
  • No database of customer info to protect
  • Addresses are pseudonymous

With Customer Tracking​

If you need to track customers:

  • Store address ↔ customer mapping in your own database
  • Reference invoice IDs in transaction memos
  • Use your own CRM connected via webhooks

Payouts to Multiple Recipients​

Need to pay several people (employees, vendors, affiliates)?

Currently, send individual transactions. Batch payments coming in future updates.

Recurring Business Payments​

Collecting Subscriptions​

  1. Send customers a link to subscribe
  2. They set up the recurring payment
  3. Execute payments as they come due

Paying Subscriptions​

Set up subscriptions for regular business expenses:

  • SaaS subscriptions
  • Contractor retainers
  • Rent and utilities

Analytics​

The Business dashboard shows:

  • Total received (this month/all time)
  • Number of transactions
  • Unique customers (by address)

All viewable to you. Not exposed to blockchain observers.

Multi-Wallet Setup​

Many businesses use separate wallets for:

  • Receiving: Customer-facing payments
  • Operations: Day-to-day expenses
  • Savings/Treasury: Long-term holdings

Aruvi works with any wallet structure. Connect the appropriate wallet for each task.

Security Best Practices​

  1. Use a hardware wallet for significant funds
  2. Separate hot and cold storage — receiving wallet vs. treasury
  3. Regular audits — check balances and transaction history
  4. Backup everything — seed phrases in secure locations
  5. Limit access — not everyone needs the main wallet
