Generate a New Address to Receive USD​
Using Stablesats a merchant can generate and onchain address where the bitcoin received will be denominated in USD cents. 

Use the address from the response and send to it from any bitcoin wallet.

The received satoshi amount will reflect the USD/BTC exchange rate at the time it was received and the balance will be kept at the dollar value.

mutation onChainAddressCreate($input: OnChainAddressCreateInput!) {
  onChainAddressCreate(input: $input) {
    address
    errors {
      message
    }
  }
}
Set the USD wallet ID:
curl command to generate a new address
Once Paid Check the Balance Again​
The balance will be updated once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain.

Until the confirmation the new incoming amount will show in the pendingIncomingBalance field.
tip
There are multiple ways to get notified on the incoming payments: see how to use webhooks (callbacks) and websocket subscriptions.
