Hello,

I am making a tip bot and due to this bug - [https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-wallet/issues/2614](https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-wallet/issues/2614) I can’t use cardano-wallet. So I decided to just use cardano-cli for on-chain operations like deposits and withdrawals. The problem is, I need to be able to track and verify transaction that I sent (actually verify if it was confirmed and ADA was sent out).

When I submit a transaction using cardano-cli all I see is something like “transaction submitted”. Is there a way to get the transaction ID somehow to verify it was processed and confirmed by other parties?

The transaction ID will be listed in cardano-node log file, in a directory like `Logs/pub/node.log`. You will see it added to the mempool, and then removed when it is processed.

ok this is useful, although best would be if it was returned to standard output after submitting

The front-end application would then request for a wallet address from the backend service and render a QR code to the customer to be scanned via a Cardano wallet. The backend service would then know that it has to query the wallet address using cardano-cli with a certain time interval to confirm and alert the front-end application that the payment has completed succesfully.
