Pay people from chat - Pact Docs

Coming with the beta. Vendor payments work on Solana devnet today. Asking for them in Telegram and seeing cards in the chat arrive with the Telegram bot and Mini App. See what works today.

Ask for a payment

Mention @pact in the team chat with the invoice, as you would today: a message, a PDF, or a screenshot with the amount and the payee. The agent reads it, matches the payee on your allowlist, and proposes the payment. If the agent can’t match the payee, it asks in the chat instead of guessing.

What happens next

Case	What you see
Inside the caps, active payee	The payment goes through. The bot posts a receipt with a block explorer link
Over the cap or the budget	The bot posts a refusal with the rule it broke. Nothing moves
Address not on the allowlist	The bot posts a refusal with the reason. See when Pact says no

When a payment is over the cap

Today, a payment over the cap is refused. If it’s expected, the owner can pay it directly from their own wallet.

The agent’s own spending

When the agent uses a paid service, such as a research or translation tool, it pays from a small purse. The purse is topped up only inside the service budget in your policy, and never holds more than the purse cap, so the agent can’t spend more than you allowed.

Find a receipt

Every payment and refusal is posted in the chat and kept in the Mini App’s activity list. Each entry links to the transaction on a block explorer, so anyone, including the person you paid, can check it without trusting Pact.
