| --- | --- |

## Example {#example}


App-supplied identifiers such as provider, signer, walletCheckout, sendTransfer, signOwnership and verifiedPaymentSignature represent your configured wallet integration or verified result. These are usage examples, not an automatically executed checkout.

import { createNibgate } from '@nibgate/sdk';
const client = createNibgate();
const resource = { id: 'article-1', title: 'Example article', type: 'article', price: '1', url: 'https://creator.example/articles/1' };
