One integration. No authentication system. No billing system. No subscription logic. 1% fee only when you earn.

Payments

USDT checkout for products, memberships, subscriptions, and store orders — customer payments go directly to your wallet.

Authentication

Passwordless login and PayLayer-owned sessions for your users.

Subscriptions

Subscription status and renewal windows managed by PayLayer.

Access Management

Entitlements tell your app exactly what a user can access.

For apps, bots, and SaaS

Sell software, AI tools, APIs, Telegram bots, digital products, or memberships. PayLayer handles payments, login, sessions, entitlements, access, and webhooks.

For online stores

Add USDT checkout to existing ecommerce, WooCommerce-style, Shopify-style, or custom stores. No rebuild required; your catalog, cart, inventory, and fulfillment stay yours.

How it works

Up and running in minutes

From product setup to authenticated access without building a payment, login, or subscription backend.

1

Create Product

Set the product, price, and access model for your app, bot, API, course, membership, or store.

2

Generate AI Integration Kit

PayLayer creates a complete integration prompt with auth, sessions, entitlements, checkout, webhooks, and logout.

3

Paste into Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor

Your coding assistant wires PayLayer into protected frontend and backend routes.

4

Users authenticate through PayLayer

Your app consumes PayLayer session state instead of maintaining its own user system.

5

Payments unlock access

Confirmed payments grant subscriptions and entitlements your app can verify through the API.

Payment flow

Payment becomes authenticated access

A confirmed payment is not just a transaction. It updates subscription state, grants entitlements, sends webhooks, and lets your application unlock the right resource.

Customer

The user starts checkout from your app, bot, API, membership, or online store.

PayLayer Checkout

PayLayer creates the exact USDT amount, checkout page, QR code, and payment session.

Blockchain Verification

PayLayer watches the TRC-20 payment and verifies confirmations before changing access state.

Subscription / Entitlement Granted

The user receives the relevant entitlement, your app unlocks, and the creator receives funds directly in their wallet.

Store Checkout

Store checkout without rebuilding your store

Keep your existing ecommerce site, WooCommerce-style flow, Shopify-style storefront, custom cart, product catalog, inventory, and fulfillment. PayLayer adds USDT checkout, payment confirmation, order.paid webhooks, and Proof Receipts.

Customer checks out on your store

PayLayer confirms payment

Proof Receipts

Proof Receipts for every payment lifecycle

PayLayer records checkout created, payment address assigned, payment detected, confirmations checked, order marked paid, and webhook sent. Receipts are tamper-evident records of PayLayer-side payment events.

Proof Receipts do not prove shipment, delivery, product quality, product authenticity, or merchant honesty. They are evidence of PayLayer-side payment events only.
Features

Platform features

The infrastructure layer for creators who want payments, identity, subscriptions, and access control without building them from scratch.

Authentication

Passwordless login through PayLayer, so creator apps do not need passwords or local account systems.

Identity

Users belong to PayLayer globally and can hold access across many creator products.

Sessions

Secure multi-device sessions with validation, logout, and active-device support.

Entitlements

A universal permission system. Your app checks whether the user has the required entitlement.

Subscriptions

Automatic subscription status and renewal support for apps, communities, APIs, and memberships.

Developer API

Validate sessions, check access, read entitlements, create checkouts, and verify payments.

Webhooks

Real-time events for payment confirmation, access granted, subscriptions, store orders, and credits.

Proof Receipts

Tamper-evident records for payment lifecycle events and store checkout confirmations.

Store Checkout

Add USDT payment confirmation to existing ecommerce without rebuilding catalog or fulfillment.

AI Integration

One prompt for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and similar tools to implement the full integration.

Architecture

PayLayer sits between your users and your app

Creator applications ask PayLayer for authentication and access state instead of rebuilding identity, billing, and subscription infrastructure.

FAQ

Common questions

The things builders ask before their first payment.

Does PayLayer replace my login system?

For new integrations, yes. Users authenticate through PayLayer, your app validates the PayLayer session, and protected features check entitlements instead of local subscription tables.

What is an entitlement?

An entitlement is a permission such as app.pro, course.access, discord.vip, or api.basic. Your app asks PayLayer whether the authenticated user has the entitlement required for a feature.

What if a customer sends the wrong amount?

Every checkout has an exact amount that identifies the payment — ask customers to send exactly that (most wallets and exchanges let them paste it). If an amount doesn't match, the payment isn't auto-confirmed; it's flagged for reconciliation, so access or order status is never granted on a mismatched payment and nothing is silently lost.

Which coins and networks do you support?

USDT on the Tron network (TRC-20). Fees are minimal, transfers settle in seconds, and your customers can pay from Binance, OKX, Trust Wallet, or any TRC-20 wallet.

Does PayLayer ever hold my money?

Not your customers' payments. Those go straight to your own registered USDT wallet on-chain — PayLayer never holds or routes them. The one exception is your prepaid credit balance: when you top it up you send USDT to a PayLayer-controlled address, and PayLayer holds that credit until it is consumed as the 1% platform fee.

What about price volatility?

There isn't any. USDT is a stablecoin pegged roughly 1:1 to the US dollar, so a $20 payment arrives as about 20 USDT — no crypto price swings to manage.

Are there chargebacks?

No. On-chain payments are final, so you're not exposed to chargebacks or friendly fraud the way card processors are. Once a payment is confirmed, it's settled.

How does the 1% fee work?

No monthly fees and no setup cost. You pre-fund a credit balance (10 USDT minimum), and each payment deducts 1% from it off-chain. Unused prepaid credit may be refunded at PayLayer's discretion as a goodwill gesture. The 1% platform fee is not refundable once processed. Refunds are not guaranteed.

What happens if my credit balance runs out?

New checkouts stop being accepted — an empty balance pauses your sales, not just your PayLayer usage. The check also holds back the fees on payments still in flight, so a balance that looks positive can still be too low to open another checkout. You get one low-balance warning by email and webhook when you cross below 2 USDT; top up before then.

How long does changing my payout wallet take?

A new payout address is staged and takes effect 24 hours later. The delay is deliberate: if someone else got into your account, it is the window in which you can notice and stop the change before any funds move. Payments created before the change keep the old address, so don't switch wallets right before a large expected payment.

I topped up but my balance hasn't changed. Where is it?

Top-ups are matched by exact amount, so a round number, a send after the 1-hour window closes, or an exchange that deducts its withdrawal fee from the amount will all arrive without matching. The deposit is held for manual reconciliation — never silently credited, never lost. Contact support with the transaction hash rather than sending again. TRC-20 USDT on Tron only.

What are the minimum amounts?

Two different limits that are easy to mix up: the minimum credit top-up is 10 USDT (maximum 10,000), and the minimum price for a product you sell is 1 USDT. Selling a 1 USDT product is fine; funding the account that sells it takes at least 10.

How fast does a payment confirm?

After your customer sends, PayLayer waits for network confirmations — usually about a minute — then unlocks access automatically. No manual checking on your side.

Do my customers need an account or KYC to pay?

For protected apps, users authenticate with PayLayer so access can be granted and renewed. For store checkout, the merchant can still collect buyer email and order details from its existing checkout flow.
