# Get current settlement preference and stable token options

> Retrieves the merchant's current settlement preference configuration along with
their selected stable settlement token and all available stable token options.

Settlement preferences control how payments are processed and settled:
- **stables_only**: Only accept stable coins (USDC, USDT, etc.) for payments
- **stables_preferred**: Convert to stable coins when possible, fallback to original token
- **tokens**: Always settle in the original token the customer paid with

If no stable settlement token is selected, the system default will be returned.

      Deterministic devnet-only endpoints for simulating Commerce V2 order state
      transitions.


      Use this when integrating as a merchant on devnet to test your backend/UI
      against realistic order lifecycle changes

      (payment confirmation, settlement gating, placement, tracking,
      cancellation, refunds) without placing real retailer

      orders or sending real on-chain refunds.


      How it works:

      - Requires a devnet `X-Commerce-Api-Key` (merchant-scoped).

      - Only operates on orders created in `networkEnvironment=devnet`.

      - Updates the order using the same reducer/persistence paths used in
      mainnet (provider snapshots are simulated).

      - After each simulation, Pepay emits the normal `commerce.order.updated`
      merchant webhook event.
  - name: Merchant Checkout
    description: >
      Merchant-scoped **three-step** checkout flow:

      1) `POST /api/commerce/merchant/checkout/estimate` — validate items
      against current eligible offers and return `validItems[]` +
      `invalidItems[]`.

      2) `POST /api/commerce/merchant/checkout/address` — attach and validate a
      shipping address for the estimate.

      3) `POST /api/commerce/merchant/checkout/invoice` — create the final
      invoice + commerce order.


      Cart behavior (when `useCart: true`):

      - The estimate call **reads** the saved cart but does **not** remove or
      modify cart items.

      - Items with no eligible offers are returned in `invalidItems[]`.

      - To remove items from the saved cart, call the Merchant Cart APIs (`PUT
      /api/commerce/merchant/carts/items/:itemId` with `quantity: 0`, or `DELETE
      /api/commerce/merchant/carts/items/:itemId`).

      - To exclude items for *this checkout attempt* without mutating the cart,
      use `itemOverrides[]` with `quantity: 0`.

      Canonical base path:

      - All documented endpoints are under `/api/v1/payments/*`.


      Authentication:

      - These endpoints do **not** accept merchant API keys or bearer JWTs.

      - Send `x-session-token` and `x-signature` headers on every request (both
      are returned when creating an invoice).


      Typical flow:

      1) Create an invoice (`POST /api/v1/invoices`) → receive `payment_url`,
      `session_token`, `signature`.

      2) Render/open the `payment_url` for the payor.

      3) Fetch invoice context (`GET /api/v1/payments/session-details`).

      4) List supported tokens (`GET /api/v1/payments/available-tokens`).

      5) Allocate a payment address (`POST /api/v1/payments/payment-addresses`)
      → use `ws_connection` for `/ws/payment`.

      6) Track progress via polling (`GET /api/v1/payments/payment-status`)
      and/or websocket (`/ws/payment`).


      Security notes:

      - Treat `session_token` and `signature` as sensitive values (anyone with
      them can read the invoice/payment status).

      - Do not store them in long-lived browser storage; prefer in-memory usage
      on the payment page.

      Delivery model:

      - At-least-once delivery; receivers must dedupe by `event.id` (also sent
      as `X-Pepay-Event-ID`).

      - Payloads are canonical `PepayEvent` objects and match websocket
      `event_v1` frames for the same event type.


      Security:

      - Endpoints must be HTTPS.

      - Deliveries are signed using `HMAC_SHA256("${timestamp_ms}.${raw_body}")`
      and sent in `X-Pepay-Signature`.
