Traditional crypto payments lack business context. You receive a transaction hash, but don't know which customer, invoice, or order it's for. Manual reconciliation is error-prone and doesn't scale.
Request IDs solve this by attaching business context to every payment. Each request gets a unique Request ID that connects payments back to your specific invoice, order, or subscription with cryptographic certainty.
What you get:
- Automatic attribution - Every payment linked to its request via Request ID
- Multi-chain monitoring - Track payments across 10+ EVM chains and Tron in 500+ currencies
- Real-time notifications - Webhooks for instant payment confirmations
- Zero manual work - No spreadsheets, no guessing, no payment collisions

Multiple payments of the same amount create attribution problems - you can't tell which customer paid Processing hundreds or thousands of crypto payments where manual tracking doesn't scale Managing separate wallets for each customer or transaction creates operational complexity Accepting payments across multiple blockchains and need unified detection without managing multiple APIsAccept crypto payments at scale without generating unique addresses for each customer.
Example: An e-commerce platform processes 10,000+ crypto orders per day. Each order gets a unique Request ID - customers pay to a single wallet address, and every payment is automatically attributed to the correct order.
Add crypto as a payment option for recurring billing alongside traditional payment methods.
Example: A SaaS company uses Stripe for card payments but offers USDC for monthly subscriptions. Payment Detection automatically confirms renewals and updates subscription status without manual tracking.
Send invoices through existing channels (email, PDF) and accept crypto payments with automatic reconciliation.
Example: A freelancer emails invoices as PDFs with a Request ID. When clients pay in crypto, the accounting software automatically marks invoices as paid via webhook - no manual checking required.
These scenarios all use automatic payment detection.
