Understanding Paytags

Paytags are human-readable identifiers for Payman wallets that make transfers simpler and more secure. Each paytag follows the format word.word.word/number (e.g., surge.produce.leg/26).

Paytags can be found in the Payman Dashboard for each of your wallets or through the API when getting wallet information.

Creating a Payman Wallet Payee

Before you can transfer funds to another Payman wallet, you need to create a payee of type PAYMAN_WALLET:

payee = payman.payments.create_payee(
    type="PAYMAN_WALLET",
    name="Agent Wallet", // This can be anything, according to your requirements
    payman_wallet_paytag="mean.shop.apron/15",
)

Sending Funds to a Payman Wallet

Once you’ve created a Payman Wallet payee, you can send funds to it just like any other payee:

payment = payman.payments.send_payment(
    amount_decimal=100.00,
    payee_id='pd-1f014a03-035d-61b5-b3a6-3b7603b9cbdf', # ID of the Payman Wallet payee
    memo='Wallet to wallet transfer',
)
