Universal Payment Use Cases

1 · E-commerce Checkout Widget

Elevator Pitch Drop-in plugin (WordPress, WooCommerce, Wix, PrestaShop) that lets any store accept any token on any chain and settle to the merchant’s preferred stablecoin—100 % non-custodially.

How It Works

  1. Merchant installs the Pepay plugin.

  2. Cart subtotal → fiat-equivalent in shopper’s token of choice (e.g., $49.99 → 37 DOGE).

  3. MCP/SDK bundle (amount + token + chain + slippageGuard) sent as a single JSON.

  4. Shopper pays; Pepay routes the swap on the lowest-slippage DEX (< 30 s).

  5. 1 % fee auto-burns $RUNEY; net funds land directly in merchant wallet.

Why It Matters

  • Avoid 4% Mastercard or Visa processing fees

  • Unlocks meme-coin buyers without price-risk.

  • No chargebacks, no CEX settlement delays, no PCI scope.

  • One plugin ≈ Coinbase Commerce + Alchemy Pay—but non-custodial.


2 · Subscription & SaaS Billing

Elevator Pitch Recurring-payment API for SaaS teams who want crypto subs with stable-fiat predictability.

How It Works

  • User approves a pull-payment smart contract (no cards).

  • Each cycle, Pepay swaps → settles to USD1/USDC → fires webhook.

  • Failed swaps auto-retry across fallback tokens/chains.

Why It Matters

  • Predictable MRR in fiat, flexible pay-in for users.

  • Zero PCI overhead; merchant never touches keys.

  • Ideal for VPNs, dev tools, newsletters, game passes.


3 · Freelance Escrow & Marketplace Payouts

Elevator Pitch Lightweight escrow layer that drops marketplace rake from 20 % to ~1 %.

How It Works

  1. Client creates escrow via Pepay SDK, funding with any asset.

  2. Funds lock until POST /release signed by both parties or arbiter.

  3. Pepay swaps to freelancer’s chosen coin; settles instantly.

  4. Fee split: 0.7 % burned, 0.3 % rebated to marketplace.

Why It Matters

  • Global talent paid same-day, minus pennies in gas.

  • Marketplaces earn without custody, KYC headache, or FX spread.

  • Goodbye Upwork/PayPal hold periods.


4 · In-Game Micro-Transactions

Elevator Pitch Unity/Godot SDK for on-chain IAP—skins, loot boxes, DLC—priced in stables, payable in gamers’ meme holdings.

How It Works

  • Player picks token; SDK handles swap + dev treasury settlement.

  • NFT asset mints & delivers in one tx.

Why It Matters

  • Avoids Apple/Steam 30 % cut.

  • Directly works within gaming frameworks rather than building chain centric games

  • Build token-centric game ecosystem efficiently.

  • “Any-token onboarding” slashes friction for degen gamers.

  • Gas abstraction hides blockchain UX from casual users.


5 · Point-of-Sale (POS) for Brick-and-Mortar

Key Promise If the price tag says $4.50, exactly $4.50 lands in the merchant’s wallet—every time.

Elevator Pitch Tablet/phone POS for cafés, events, pop-ups—tap to pay with any token, instant stablecoin settlement.

How It Works

  1. Cashier types amount → QR with MCP bundle appears.

  2. Customer scans & pays.

  3. Pepay webhook confirms payment; receipt prints.

  4. Works offline—QRs queue until connection resumes.

Why It Matters

  • Instant finality, zero FX fees, no hardware swap.

  • “Pennies to Teslas” scalability—any ticket size, same UX.

  • Every sale burns a bit of $RUNEY: built-in loyalty story for crypto crowds.


6 · Crowdfunding & Pre-Sale Platforms

Elevator Pitch Kickstarter-style campaigns that accept any token while tracking progress in fiat.

How It Works

  • Creator sets goal & accepted tokens.

  • Backers pledge; Pepay swaps in-flight to campaign treasury.

  • Real-time USD dashboard; milestone-based vesting.

Why It Matters

  • Eliminates volatility for project owners.

  • Backers pledge with on-hand coins—no off-ramp friction.

  • Built-in escrow / vesting = higher trust, less fraud.


7 · Payroll & Mass Payouts

Elevator Pitch Bulk-payment wizard for DAOs, esports teams, global startups.

How It Works

  1. HR uploads CSV (address, amountUSD).

  2. Pepay batches swaps, nets gas, executes multi-send across chains.

  3. Ledger returns fiat-exact receipt per employee.

Why It Matters

  • One-click weekly payroll, no manual swaps.

  • Contributors choose token; company books clean USD expense.

  • Beats Wise/Payoneer fees for emerging-market talent.


8 · Real-World Asset (RWA) Settlement Rail

Elevator Pitch Pepay serves as the compliant settlement layer for tokenized invoices, real-estate shares, carbon credits.

How It Works

  1. Buyer pays with any token; funds escrow until off-chain asset transfer.

  2. Seller receives stablecoin immediately upon oracle confirmation.

  3. Hash-linked audit trail logged on-chain.

Why It Matters

  • Replaces slow, expensive banking rails.

  • Non-custodial flow meets “no-commingling” rules.

  • Precise fiat parity keeps auditors and regulators happy.


Bill Walsh, Jeff Bezos, Walt Disney—same principle: Execute flawlessly on what you control; the score (and revenue) takes care of itself.

Pepay gives builders that control—outside the AI-agent niche—unlocking fee-generating volume across commerce, gaming, finance, and the physical world.
