Manual Payments

The dashboard supports a fully explicit payment path as well.

​
Raw x402 flow

This flow is for operators who want to prove the public protocol path directly:
  1. call the live gateway
  2. receive a real 402 Payment Required
  3. sign a payment challenge from your own funded wallet
  4. retry with a valid x-payment proof
  5. receive the API response

​
When to use it

  • demos
  • protocol-level integrations
  • explicit payment orchestration
  • testing that does not rely on managed wallet helpers

​
When not to use it

If your goal is smooth repeated paid calls from the operator console, the managed wallet flow is usually the better default.
