API

Sheepy provides a REST-based API that allows merchants and platforms to integrate cryptocurrency payment processing and settlement functionality into their systems. The API is used to manage payment flows, generate invoices, handle deposit addresses, and process payouts programmatically.

API environments

Sheepy operates two separate API environments:

  • Sandbox - a testing environment used for development and integration testing. It allows developers to simulate payment flows and API interactions without processing real transactions.
  • Production - the live environment used for processing real cryptocurrency payments. Access to the production environment is provided after successful testing in the sandbox environment.

API functionality

The Sheepy API supports the following core components:

Gates represent configurable payment endpoints used to receive cryptocurrency payments. They are typically used to define payment settings, supported assets, and transaction behavior for specific use cases or platforms.

The Invoices API allows the creation and management of payment requests. Invoices can be generated for individual customers or transactions and provide real-time status updates, enabling tracking of payment completion and confirmation.

Deposit addresses allow merchants to generate and manage static or persistent cryptocurrency addresses for receiving payments. These addresses can be assigned to specific users, accounts, or services and are commonly used for repeated or ongoing payment flows.

The Payouts API enables automated outgoing transfers of cryptocurrency funds. It supports individual and mass payout operations, allowing businesses to distribute funds to multiple recipients programmatically.

Technical overview

The API uses standard HTTP methods and exchanges data in JSON format. Authentication is handled via API credentials issued to merchants after account registration. Detailed endpoint descriptions, request parameters, and response formats are provided in the official API documentation.

Documentation

The full technical reference, including endpoint specifications and integration examples, is available in the official Sheepy API documentation.
