# SOL & SPL Payments

Enables the developer to facilitate a transaction in which both the merchant and the customer want to use SOL or an SPL token (e.g. USDC) as payment.

Make sure you are following [the rules](/api-docs/reference/api-reference/pay.md) of the API!

### Example (SOL Payment)

```python
import requests #make HTTP requests
import urllib.parse #encode the URL

#get a reference key
ref_url = 'http://api.mtnapi.com/ref'
r = requests.get(url = ref_url)
ref = r.json()['ref']

wallet='Ar7XrWtrGsB2xCnrTFLs9HyJ1bA62gXCAUZa8Fa7VMc5' #receiver
account = 'DaNDvvjZ3gdhjxeA3jKLGPTF7kNU8HupKKEgVTuHQwLi' #payer 
payerToken = 'usdc'
size = 0.1

#base URL
api_url = 'http://api.mtnapi.com/pay'
#query string parameters
params = {'wallet': wallet, 'size' : size, 'payerToken' : payerToken, 'ref' : ref}
#request body
data = {'account': account} 
#make the POST request
r = requests.post(url = api_url, params=params, json=data)

#encode the url
encoded_url = urllib.parse.quote(r.url)  
#append solana
solana_pay_url = 'solana:' + encoded_url

print(solana_pay_url)
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mtnpay.gitbook.io/api-docs/reference/api-reference/pay/sol-and-spl-payments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
