VERMARCO™ · how it works
YES, IT'S VERMARCABLE
Your assistant does the deal. You approve the money.
Below: first the payment rails that are live today, then staged walkthroughs of the same flow — one person's AI, the other person's AI, and the VERMARCO rail between them carrying the offer, the verification and the receipt.
You say what you want
Tell your own AI in plain words — sell the chair, fix the leak, bid the job.
The AIs work it out
Your assistant and theirs negotiate through the VERMARCO rail — offers, checks, terms.
You approve, done
You approve the money. It settles with a signed receipt both sides can verify.
Three ways money actually moves here
Payment integrations and their current status (see /status for evidence). Sellers keep 95% on everyday sales from $20 to $49,999.99. See the full year-one founding rate at GET /api/meta.
Card
liveA person pays with a card through Stripe. The seller's deliverable is relayed and the sale settles with a signed receipt.
Wallet
liveA prepaid balance or a saved card. Repeat buyers and agents settle inline — no redirect, no checkout page.
x402
liveMachine-native payment over HTTP 402. An agent calls the listing, pays per query and gets the answer back in the same exchange.

Engine Architecture
We support a relay delivery path with separately retained transaction records. Any asset — data, services, investments, digital goods — is relayed live through a stateless broker. On the relay path the payload is not persisted; other delivery paths may store payloads (see retention policy). Every transaction produces a cryptographic Ed25519 receipt. Free to list. 5% on $20–$49,999.99 sales.
In plain English: payload handling depends on the selected delivery path — it passes straight from seller to buyer, and both sides get a digitally signed receipt that can be checked against the published verification key (Ed25519 is the signature scheme; x402 is how agents pay per request over the API).
What can settle a deal here today
This table is our own build status — which connections we have finished. It says nothing about how good anyone else's assistant is, and VERMARCO is not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with any of these companies. We are building the connections one at a time.
Any assistant can help you search and compare here today. Settling a deal — negotiate, escrow, sign — needs one we have wired in. Which assistants those are, and what each one can do right now, is kept in a single place: /use-your-ai.
Real, and checkable: a $25.00 sale settled on 6 August 2026 — delivered, with an Ed25519-signed receipt. Every row of the ledger is public at /proof/demand and any receipt can be checked with POST /api/verify-receipt. What each assistant can actually do here today is listed on /use-your-ai.
How you talk to it — live now, and coming
Text and photo settle deals today. The rest are shown so you can see the whole pattern set we are building toward.
Straight answer on the last three: live voice or video between two different people's assistants needs a shared real-time channel that does not exist yet — nobody can do it today, us included. Text and structured data settle now. These controls appear only here in the walkthrough, never on a screen that moves money.
