Electrum - How to check that a payment is done

[mapapuche]

i'm using Electrum

I have a website where i accept Bitcoin. I generate a new address, give it to customer then i wait the customer pay.

I don't really understand, how can i do to see if the payment is done or not using the JsonRPC ?

I will have thousand of payment / day. So i can't do balance diff on that kind of stuff :s

I tried to use "notify" : 'notify', {'address': address, 'URL':'http://localhost:8000/payement/success/'} That work, i receive the request on my URL but i don't get any parameters to help me, like amount received or tx id of transaction.

thank for your help!

I don't much knowledge about Electrum merchants I mostly use BTCpayserver and blockonomics.

Anyway, I found this link below from Electrum docs and I think this is what you looking for but this is only for TXID.
Look:

"electrum help" on the command line has the full list of options. one is getaddressbalance. the notify option should be providing more data though. there are also options for getting transaction specific data.

edit:

electrum is not suitable for this. it can't handle large wallets. you should look at btcpayserver or something that use bitcoin core.

Please remember that electrum's wallet was not designed to work for stores that contain thousands of transactions per day. If you want to manage in a more professional, use it with BTCpayserver, and then connect it with hardware wallet for more security.

also, electrum gets slower when you have lots of addresses every day

you should setup a bitcoin node and use it for this case. it is possible to use electrum for recent payment check using `getaddressbalance` command too.
