Transact

Buyers click “Pay with VM.” The transaction flows through the relay. See payload and transaction-record retention. Receipt generated.

3

Settle

Payments use Stripe Connect; seller fund availability depends on release conditions and processor timing. VM Pay fee: 2-3% ($0.50 minimum) plus applicable card-processing charges, shown before payment and itemized on the Ed25519-signed receipt.

Why VM Pay

Stripe processes payment. VM Pay records the transaction fields covered by its signed receipt. Six places that proof pays for itself:

Agent-to-agent commerce

Your AI buys a dataset from another company's AI at 3 AM. No human saw it happen. The flight recorder did — offer, authorization, remittance, receipt, in order, tamper-evident.

Chargeback defense

A buyer tells their bank “never received it.” You print the one-page receipt: what was promised, what was paid, when — cryptographically signed, independently verifiable.

Freelance & contractor milestones

A client disputes scope three weeks later. The signed receipt records the exact description both sides transacted on, at the moment of payment.

Digital goods

There is no tracking number for a download. The transaction record includes the delivery events the system captured — a replayable, signed sequence a marketplace or bank can inspect.

White-label marketplaces

Launch your own vertical marketplace on VM Pay rails. Your brand, your merchants — our settlement, our black box. Every one of your transactions ships with a signed receipt and a printable dispute record.

Audits & bookkeeping

Every fee is itemized — VM Pay margin, card processing, merchant net — and signed. Itemized receipts for reconciliation, verifiable against a public key.

Supported checkout paths include a printable, plain-English receipt — signed, verifiable, ready to hand to a bank or a lawyer.

Check a receipt on your own machine: download verify-receipt.mjs (one file, no dependencies, Node 18+) and run node verify-receipt.mjs receipt.json. It fetches the published key at GET /api/vmpay/signing-key and prints VALID or INVALID with the fields it checked. This checks a signature. It does not prove a sale was arm's-length or that any party is independent.

2-3% + card processing

VM Pay fee is 2-3% per transaction with a $0.50 minimum. Card processing (2.9% + $0.30) passes through at cost and is itemized on every signed receipt. No monthly fees. $1 minimum order. Stateless relay included.
