InventPay Skill
Accept crypto payments, run a digital storefront, and track balances through the InventPay REST API.
What this skill does
This skill teaches your agent how to interact with the InventPay payment platform using direct HTTP requests. No external packages or binaries required — your agent makes standard REST API calls.
Your agent can:
- Create crypto payment links and multi-currency invoices (BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT)
- Set up and manage a digital storefront with automatic product delivery
- Manage a key pool for unique license keys per customer
- Check balances across all currencies
- Track orders and view store analytics
Quick start
Install
openclaw install inventpay
No binaries or packages needed. This skill is instruction-only.
Configure
- Sign up at inventpay.io and go to Dashboard > Settings
- Copy your API key (starts with
pk_live_) - Set the environment variable:
export INVENTPAY_API_KEY="pk_live_your_key_here"
Verify
Ask your agent: "What's my InventPay balance?"
The agent should make a GET request to https://api.inventpay.io/v1/merchant/balance with your API key and return your balances. If you see an auth error, check that INVENTPAY_API_KEY is set and starts with pk_live_.
Base URL
https://api.inventpay.io
Authentication
All authenticated endpoints require:
Header: X-API-Key: <INVENTPAY_API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json
The API key (pk_live_...) is your main merchant key for all operations: payments, invoices, store, products, orders, and balances.
IMPORTANT: correct endpoint paths
- Payment creation is
POST /v1/create_payment— NOT/v1/payments - Invoice creation is
POST /v1/create_invoice— NOT/v1/invoicesor/v1/store/manage/invoices - Balance endpoint is
GET /v1/merchant/balance— NOT/v1/balance - Store checkout is
POST /v1/store/{slug}/checkout— uses the store URL slug (e.g. "my-store"), NOT a store ID - Do NOT guess or invent endpoint paths. Use ONLY the exact paths listed below.
Important URLs
- Store page:
https://inventpay.io/store/{slug} - Product page:
https://inventpay.io/store/{slug}/product/{productSlug}— the/product/segment is required - Invoice/payment page:
https://inventpay.io/invoice/{paymentId} - Do NOT omit
/product/from product URLs —/store/{slug}/{productSlug}will NOT work

Agent behavior when creating products
When the user asks to create or add a new product, ALWAYS ask them:
- Product name (required)
- Price in USDT (required)
- Content type — ask: "Is this a regular digital product or a SKILL file (.md)?"
- If SKILL: ask the user to paste or provide the SKILL.md content. Set
contentType: "SKILL"and put the raw markdown inskillContent. The backend will auto-parse the YAML frontmatter. - If regular/general: ask about digital delivery (file URL, license key, instructions, or text content). Set
contentType: "GENERAL"or omit it.
- If SKILL: ask the user to paste or provide the SKILL.md content. Set
- Description (optional)
- Stock (optional, omit for unlimited)
- Images (optional)
Do NOT skip the content type question. This is important because SKILL products get special storefront display (skill badge, version, author, tags) and the raw .md file is delivered to the buyer after payment.
Example conversations
Creating a payment:
"Create a $25 USDT payment for the logo design"
Agent makes: POST /v1/create_payment with {"amount": 25, "currency": "USDT_BEP20", "description": "Logo design"} and returns the payment link.
Setting up a store:
"Create a store called AI Skill Shop"
Agent makes: POST /v1/store/manage with {"name": "AI Skill Shop"} and returns the store URL.
Adding a product:
"Add a product called Code Review Skill for $8 with download URL https://files.example.com/review-skill.md"
Agent makes: POST /v1/store/manage/products with name, price, and digitalContent.fileUrl.
Adding a skill product:
"Create a skill product called 'SEO Audit Skill' for $5 with this SKILL.md content: ---\nname: seo-audit\nauthor: devtools\nversion: 1.0.0\ntags: [seo, audit]\n---\n\n# SEO Audit\n..."
Agent makes: POST /v1/store/manage/products with name, price, contentType: "SKILL", and skillContent containing the raw markdown.
Checking balance:
"What's my balance?"
Agent makes: GET /v1/merchant/balance and summarizes available amounts per currency.
Checking orders:
"Show me recent paid orders"
Agent makes: GET /v1/store/manage/orders?status=PAID and lists them.
Managing key pool:
"Upload 50 license keys for the Pro Skill product"
Agent makes: POST /v1/store/manage/products/{id}/keys with the keys array.
Selling OpenClaw skills through your store
Practical setup for monetizing premium skill files:
- Create your store — agent calls
POST /v1/store/manage - Add skill files as products — set
contentType: "SKILL", paste the raw SKILL.md intoskillContent, set a price. The backend parses frontmatter automatically for the storefront. Alternatively, usecontentType: "GENERAL"with adigitalContent.fileUrlfor a hosted download link. - Share your store link —
inventpay.io/store/your-slug - Buyers see rich skill cards — storefront shows skill name, version, author, and tags from parsed frontmatter
- Buyers pay with crypto — BTC, ETH, LTC, or USDT
- Delivery is automatic — buyer pays, gets the skill file immediately
- Check earnings — agent calls
GET /v1/merchant/balance
What sells well: industry-specific skills, complex automation chains, curated skill bundles, premium versions of popular free skills, API integration skills. Price range $3-15 for individual skills, $20-40 for bundles.
Guidelines
- All amounts default to USD/USDT unless specified otherwise
- Supported cryptos: BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT_ERC20, USDT_BEP20
- Payment expiration: 5-1440 minutes (default 30)
- The API key (
pk_live_...) is used for all operations - Store checkout uses the store slug in the URL path, NOT a store ID
- Digital products auto-deliver after payment via the
digitalContentfield - Product URLs require the
/product/segment:/store/{slug}/product/{productSlug} - To withdraw funds, use the InventPay dashboard at inventpay.io
Security notes
- The
INVENTPAY_API_KEYcan create payments, manage your store, and read balances. It cannot withdraw or transfer funds. - Never pass credentials, secrets, or private keys as product delivery content. Use hosted file URLs for delivery.
- You can revoke and regenerate your API key from the dashboard at any time.
Environment variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
