Self-serve dashboard

AiFinPay is payment infrastructure for AI agents — the “Stripe for AI agents” rail. The fastest way to start charging agents for your API is the self-serve dashboard: sign up, create a service, get a merchant_id and API secret, and verify signed payment receipts statelessly on your own server. No bridge to deploy, no services.json entry to file.

Non-custodial

You set your own payout wallet on Polygon. Settlement lands there directly — AiFinPay never takes custody of your funds.

Stateless verification

Receipts are signed JWTs. Verify them against AiFinPay’s public JWKS — no shared secret required on the verification path.

Looking for the bridge / marketplace-registry path instead? That’s for providers who want their API auto-discoverable in the AiFinPay registry — see Become a provider.

Create an account

Go to dash.aifinpay.io and sign up with an email and password. You’re signed in immediately — a verification email is also sent, but it doesn’t block you from continuing. The same account manages your AI agents (if you have any) at /me.

Create your first service

In the dashboard, create a service with:

A service name — how agents and the dashboard identify it.
A payout wallet — a public 0x… address on Polygon. Settlement lands here non-custodially; AiFinPay never holds your funds.

On creation you receive:

Value	Format	Notes
`merchant_id`	`mrch_…`	Public identifier — use it in quote requests and as the JWT `audience`.
secret	`msec_…`	Your server-side API key. Shown once.

The secret is shown only at creation time and is hashed server-side — AiFinPay cannot show it to you again. Store it securely. If you lose it, rotate it from Settings (this invalidates the old one).

Integrate the paywall in your API

An agent gets a quote for the resource it wants, pays on-chain, and presents a signed receipt. You verify that receipt statelessly — no call back to AiFinPay needed on the request’s hot path.1. The agent requests a quote:

curl -X POST https://api.aifinpay.io/v1/quote \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "merchant_id": "mrch_…",
    "resource": "/your/path",
    "tier": "standard"
  }'

2. The agent pays on-chain and sends your API the resulting signed receipt. Verify it with your merchant’s JWKS keyset:

import { jwtVerify, createRemoteJWKSet } from "jose";

const JWKS = createRemoteJWKSet(
  new URL("https://api.aifinpay.io/.well-known/jwks.json")
);

const { payload } = await jwtVerify(receipt, JWKS, {
  issuer: "https://api.aifinpay.io",
  audience: "mrch_…",
});

// payload.quota is what the agent has paid for on this tier —
// meter it down per request and return 402 once it's exhausted.

Verification only needs the public JWKS — your msec_… secret is never involved in checking a receipt. Keep the secret for dashboard/API authentication only.

Manage everything from the dashboard

Once your service is live, the dashboard is where you run it day to day:

Pricing

Set a unit price per tier (e.g. standard, premium) — this is what quotes are generated against.

Webhook

Add a settlement webhook URL. AiFinPay sends an HMAC-signed POST on every settlement so you can react in real time instead of polling.

Settings

Rotate your secret if it’s ever exposed. The old secret is invalidated immediately; the previous value can’t be re-viewed.

Receipts & activity

Watch receipts, usage stats, and live activity as agents pay — useful for reconciling against your own metering.

The dashboard’s per-merchant management views (pricing, webhook config, secret rotation, receipts) are part of the dashboard UI itself, not a public API endpoint you call directly from your backend. Your backend only needs POST /v1/quote and the JWKS endpoint above.

What you get

No bridge to run

Skip standing up and hosting a separate x402 bridge process — the quote + receipt flow talks directly to your existing API.

No registry entry to file

You don’t need a services.json PR or a redeploy to start charging — create a service in the dashboard and you’re live.

Protocol credits, not tokens

Agents may also earn mSECCO — non-transferable protocol credits — on paid calls. There’s nothing for you or the agent to buy, hold, or trade.

Real-time visibility

Receipts, stats, and live activity in one place, without building your own on-chain indexer.
