Non-custodial payments — user-authorized payment intents, receipts and refunds.

Gao Payment moves value without holding it. Every payment is authorized by the user, and receipts and refunds are first-class records for people, merchants, apps and AI agents.

What Gao Payment does

  • User-authorized payment intents
  • Receipts, refunds and reconciliation
  • Merchant checkout
  • Payment requests from apps and agents, approved by the user
