Payment Intent Preview

Approval-bound command

Prepare and approve the exact $5 request first

Use the free Builder, then approve the free Scope Check. The approved response returns the only valid short-lived command for that payload.

Fastest safe $5 path

One paid retry after buyer approval.

1. Confirm this route matches the buyer's current problem.
2. Use the shown max amount and Base x402 network.
3. Replace the sample fields if this is a real buyer request.
4. Run the paid retry only from a buyer-controlled wallet runtime.
