How Bitcoin checkout works for an AI service
By Vladoi Ionut · 2026-10-08 · All insights
A Bitcoin checkout on ZeusAI is a quote plus an address. The server locks a dollar price, converts it with the spot rate it is using, and shows a BIP-21 payment URI for the owner wallet. You send that amount from your own wallet. No custodian in this flow holds the coins.
The server watches for a matching payment. When it sees settlement, it marks the order paid and issues the signed receipt and the delivery credential. Until that match exists, the order is unpaid. A screenshot of a sent transaction is not the same record as a confirmed match.
If you pay and nothing is delivered, do not argue with a trust-score website first. Open /refund, keep the transaction id, and email the owner at the address on /contact. The refund page is the contract. The owner is a named person, not a ticket queue.
Shared hosting and a privacy-protected WHOIS record do not move coins. The wallet address published on /trust is the destination you can check in a block explorer. Compare it with the address on your invoice before you send funds.
Other rails exist in the codebase as optional adapters. They are live only when their keys are present. The honest checkout is the one that shows the rail you can actually use.
