VowenaClient Reference

The VowenaClient is the primary interface for interacting with the Vowena smart contract. Write methods return an assembled XDR string for wallet signing. Read methods query on-chain state directly.

import { VowenaClient, NETWORKS } from "vowena";

const client = new VowenaClient({
  contractId: NETWORKS.testnet.contractId,
  rpcUrl: NETWORKS.testnet.rpcUrl,
  networkPassphrase: NETWORKS.testnet.networkPassphrase,
});

Write Methods
Read Methods
Submit

Write methods build and simulate a Soroban transaction, returning an assembled XDR string. You sign the XDR with your wallet and then call submitTransaction() to broadcast it.

buildCreatePlan

Creates a new subscription plan on-chain.

const xdr = await client.buildCreatePlan({
  merchant: "GMERCHANT...ADDR",
  token: NETWORKS.testnet.usdcAddress,
  amount: toStroops("9.99"),
  period: 2_592_000,
  priceCeiling: toStroops("14.99"),
  trialPeriods: 1,
  maxPeriods: 0,
  gracePeriod: 259_200,
});

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`merchant`	`string`	Yes	Stellar address of the merchant receiving payments

const xdr = await client.buildSubscribe(
  "GSUBSCRIBER...ADDR",
  42
);

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`subscriber`	`string`	Yes	Stellar address of the subscriber
`planId`	`number`	Yes	ID of the plan to subscribe to

Returns: Promise<string> - Assembled XDR transaction string.

const xdr = await client.buildCharge(
  "GCALLER...ADDR",
  101
);

Parameter	Type	Required	Description

  101
);

Parameter	Type	Required	Description

The new amount cannot exceed the plan’s priceCeiling. This protects subscribers from unexpected price increases beyond what they originally authorized.

buildRequestMigration

Requests migration of all subscribers from one plan to another. Subscribers must accept individually.

  101
);

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`subscriber`	`string`	Yes	Stellar address of the subscriber
`subId`	`number`	Yes	Subscription ID to migrate

Returns: Promise<string> - Assembled XDR transaction string.

buildRejectMigration

`subId`	`number`	Yes	Subscription ID to reactivate

Returns: Promise<string> - Assembled XDR transaction string.

Read methods query on-chain state by simulating a contract call. They require a callerAddress for simulation context but do not create a transaction.

submitTransaction

Submits a signed XDR transaction to the Stellar network and waits for confirmation.

// 1. Build the transaction
const xdr = await client.buildSubscribe("GSUB...ADDR", 42);

// 2. Sign with your wallet
const signedXdr = await wallet.signTransaction(xdr);

// 3. Submit and wait for result
const result = await client.submitTransaction(signedXdr);

console.log(result.hash);       // Transaction hash
console.log(result.success);    // true if successful
console.log(result.returnValue); // Contract return value (if any)

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`signedXdr`	`string`	Yes	Signed XDR transaction string

Returns: Promise<TransactionResult>

interface TransactionResult {
  hash: string;          // Stellar transaction hash
  success: boolean;      // Whether the transaction succeeded
  returnValue?: unknown; // Parsed return value from the contract
}

The typical flow is: build (VowenaClient) → sign (your wallet) → submit (VowenaClient). The SDK never touches private keys.
