Python License Pydantic v2 Aiohttp Code linter: ruff Checked with mypy

aiopaysell is an async Python client for the Paysell payment API — accept TON & USDT on TON with invoices, webhooks, and a polling fallback.

API documentation

Install

pip install aiopaysell
# pip install aiopaysell[fastapi]   # if you use the FastAPI webhook manager

Quick start

import asyncio
from aiopaysell import Paysell


async def main():
    pay = Paysell("sk_live_YOUR_KEY")

    invoice = await pay.create_invoice("TON", 5, order_id="order-1042")
    print(f"pay: {invoice.payment_url}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Webhook example

webhook_secret is not your API key — it's a separate secret shown once, next to the key, when you create it. Without it no delivery can be verified, and payment_credited never fires.

from aiohttp import web
from magic_filter import F
from aiopaysell import Paysell
from aiopaysell.webhook import AiohttpManager

app = web.Application()
pay = Paysell(
    "sk_live_YOUR_KEY",
    webhook_manager=AiohttpManager(app, path="/webhooks/paysell"),
    webhook_secret="YOUR_WEBHOOK_SECRET",
)


@pay.payment_credited(F.status == "paid")
async def on_paid(payment):
    print(f"order {payment.order_id} paid, {payment.credited_int} credited")


@pay.payment_rejected()
async def on_rejected(payment):
    print(f"order {payment.order_id}: deposit rejected ({payment.reason})")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    web.run_app(app, port=8080)

FastAPI works the same way via aiopaysell.webhook.FastAPIManager. No webhooks in local dev? Poll instead:

@pay.invoice_paid()
async def on_paid(invoice):
    print(invoice.status)


invoice = await pay.create_invoice("TON", 1.5)
invoice.poll()
await pay.start_polling()

Webhook and polling events live on separate routers (payment_credited/payment_rejected vs. invoice_paid/invoice_expired/invoice_cancelled) — running both is safe, just make handlers idempotent since the same payment could be reported by each.

Need your own checkout page instead of redirecting to payment_url? pay.get_public_invoice(invoice_id) reads the same unauthenticated endpoint the hosted page uses — no API key needed.

More in examples/: FastAPI webhooks, a standalone router for splitting handlers across modules, polling, a public-invoice checkout.

Good to know

  • webhook_secret is required for webhooks to work at all. It's shown once when the key is created, separately from the key itself. Passing webhook_manager= without it raises immediately; leaving both out (polling-only usage) is fine.
  • create_invoice(amount=...) takes normal units, like on an exchange5, 1.5, Decimal("1.5") — and formats them for you (decimal places validated against the coin). Pass a str if you already have it formatted and want it sent through unchanged.
  • The REST API and the webhook body disagree about units, on purpose. Invoice.amount is normal units, exactly what you sent; Invoice.amount_minor is the same as an integer smallest-unit string — use Invoice.amount_minor_int. Webhook payloads (PaymentCredited.amount, .credited, .fee) are smallest-unit integers throughout — use the matching *_int properties.
  • idempotency_key is yours to generate and persist per order; the library won't invent one for you, since its entire value is surviving a retry with the same key.
  • The webhook signature is HMAC-SHA256(secret, "{timestamp}.{raw_body}"), header names X-Paysell-Signature / X-Paysell-Timestamp. aiopaysell verifies both, including a ±5 minute replay window, before any handler runs.
  • There's a single network (https://paysell.me) — no test/live split to configure, the client always talks to it.

Errors

Status Exception
401 AuthenticationError
404 NotFoundError
409 ConflictError
422 InvalidRequestError
429 RateLimitError (.retry_after holds the Retry-After header, in seconds, when present)
502 BadGatewayError (safe to retry with the same idempotency_key)
