Receiving Payments

Learn how to receive payments via a smart contract.

We'll cover the following...

Receive payments

We can now store addresses and split ratios inside a smart contract. Let’s update our contract so that it can also receive payments. Let’s start by writing a failing test for this:

Node.js
it("can receive transactions in Ether", async () => {
  const Contract =
  await ethers.getContractFactory(
  "Partnership"
  );
  const [owner, person1] =
  await hre.ethers.getSigners();
  const addresses = [
    owner.address,
    person1.address,
    ];
  const splitRatios = [1, 1];
  const contract = await Contract.deploy(
    addresses,
    splitRatios
    );
  await contract.deployed();
  // send ether to contract
  await owner.sendTransaction({
    to: contract.address,
    value: ethers.utils.parseEther("1.0"),
    });
});

Let’s take a look at the code above:

  • Lines 23–26: We use the owner.sendTransaction() function to send Ethers the contract from the owner account. ...
