We're excited to introduce a new kind of payment gateway built for the Web3 era, designed specifically to handle USDC transactions on the Base blockchain. This isn’t just any checkout system — it’s non-custodial, meaning you keep full control of your funds at all times; we never hold the keys or balances. It’s also agentic commerce ready, supporting AI agents through the X402 flow, which means both humans and AI can interact with the payment system seamlessly. Currently, the system is live on Base Sepolia for testing, with a demo shop available for guided use. Integration is painless and minimal, thanks to shareable payment links that are easy to drop into most platforms. Public payment endpoints and the AI agent flow make it simple to connect with tools like Claude MCP or n8n through HTTP. The whole setup is designed to be developer-friendly with clear documentation and a straightforward onboarding process. Right now, there’s no option for self-signup — we’re carefully bringing on only five beta partners to ensure a smooth experience and personalized support. Ideal candidates for this beta are teams between 2 and 20 people who build SaaS products, APIs, AI tools, data services, or digital goods. If you need instant settlement, programmable paywalls, or are looking for an alternative to traditional card payment systems with lower overhead, this could be a perfect fit. The platform supports programmable pricing models such as per-request, per-download, or per-token billing, which offers a lot of flexibility for digital commerce. During the beta, usage is completely free, and participants will get priority input into the product roadmap. Early adopters also earn Season 0 Proof-of-Commerce points, which could be valuable as the platform evolves. Looking ahead, the roadmap includes features like subscriptions, usage-metered billing, and split payouts, which will enhance the platform’s utility and make it even more attractive to developers and merchants alike. This payment gateway stands out by delivering finality in seconds, not days, unlike traditional payment rails which often take T+2 to settle. It’s also designed with operational ease in mind, featuring webhooks, receipts, and ledger entries that help merchants keep track of transactions effortlessly. If your team is comfortable with light integration and interested in exploring the cutting-edge of Web3 payments, this beta is a unique opportunity to get involved early and help shape the future of agentic commerce.
