View Balance without a transaction hash

Question

Where and how can I check my Monero balance without having a transaction hash?  As a merchant I just need to control whether a client has payed the Monero to my wallet.  I have a paper wallet.

You cannot view amounts, and thus check your balance, with just a transaction hash. Amounts on the Monero blockchain are encrypted.

What you will need to do is take your paper wallet and restore either a full or view-only wallet using the seed words printed on your paper wallet. Then using the restored wallet you can scan the blockchain for incoming payments.

Refer to the guides: How to make a view-only wallet and Securely purchasing and storing Monero.
