The "easy method" to create a new BTCPay client

• On BTCPay server > shop > access tokens > create new token, copy pairing code.
• Then use that code in the below Python code:

from btcpay_python import BTCPayClient

client = BTCPayClient.create_client(host='https://btcpay.example.com', code=<pairing-code>)

Creating a client the manual way (not necessary if you used the 'easy' method)

• Generate and save private key:

import btcpay_python.crypto
privkey = btcpay.crypto.generate_privkey()

• Create client:

from btcpay_python import BTCPayClient
client = BTCPayClient(host='http://hostname', pem=privkey)

• On BTCPay server > shop > access tokens > create new token, copy pairing code:
• Pair client to server and save returned token:

client.pair_client(<pairing-code>)
>>> {'merchant': "xdr9vw3v5wc0w90859v45"}

• Recreate client:

client = BTCPayClient(
    host='http://hostname',
    pem=privkey,
    tokens={'merchant': "xdr9vw3v5wc0w90859v45"}
)
