How to Get Started With Pay AI in Under 5 Minutes — July 2026

Before you start

Good news: there's almost nothing to set up. Pay AI is designed so you can go from "curious" to "running" without an engineering project. Here's the exact path.

Step 1 — Open the door (zero cost)

Head to the Pay AI page and hit Start. There's no contract and no upfront cost — zero upfront · low blended rate. This is the single biggest reason teams stall on AI adoption, and Pay AI removes it entirely.

Step 2 — Connect what you already use

Pay AI plugs into your existing stack with one-click integrations. No migration nightmares, no rip-and-replace. Most teams are live in their workflow in under two minutes.

Step 3 — Put it to work

Pick your first job. The highest-leverage starting points we see:

1. Accept payments globally without a patchwork of processors
2. Power agent-to-agent micropayments
3. Cut fraud and chargebacks with AI
4. Recover lost revenue automatically

Step 4 — Lean on the features that move the needle

• Global Acceptance. Fiat, crypto, and local methods in one integration — sell anywhere, settle everywhere.
• Agent-to-Agent Payments. Native micropayment rails for the machine economy — agents transacting with agents.
• AI Fraud Protection. Block fraud in real time with models trained on planet-scale transaction data.
• Automated Recovery. Recover failed and churned payments automatically with smart retries and dunning.

Step 5 — Scale as you win

Because the model is a partnership, you scale at your own pace and Scale shares in the upside. Start small, prove value, then expand — the pricing rewards growth instead of punishing it.

Common questions

Can I accept both fiat and crypto? Yes — plus local methods and agent-to-agent micropayments, all through one integration.

How does fraud protection work? Models trained on planet-scale data score every transaction in real time and block fraud before it settles.

That's it. Five minutes from now you could be running the same technology that helped build the AI industry.
