I'm a developer.

I've already added payments in Solana and ETH onto my website and now want to add ones in Monero.

So I'll generate a 100 wallets that will be assigned to each user. How will I checking their balances? Will it be possible at all, without my own node, or with a third-party API only? Or will I have to run a node?

The key is to be able to do it automatically, in a web app.

How would I do it in a web app?

If you have a Matrix account you should go to https://matrix.to/#/#monero-community-dev:monero.social to get help there and describe your app design. If you are just accepting payments to a website, then you can use BTCPay Server or BitCart.

The Monero blockchain does not hold data in plaintext like other blockchains. You cannot just query the blockchain data through an API. You have to decrypt transactions with private view keys.

And if I don't - I shouldn't go?

If you want help, you shouldn't be difficult. If you're going to be difficult you're not going to get help

I'm not asking "What Monero is, how it works?"

You're a stupid idiot. I'm not asking "how to accept payment on my website? What project to use?".

Re-read my question

If you're unwilling to read the documentation, and you're unwilling to go to the support forum, and your unwilling to accept help here. You're going to have a hard time

Insulting people who are taking time to help you, is not the path to success you think it is

Please help me, you fucking idiot 😀
