Know which agents are real. SoHo Verify checks that a verified person, a bank account and a credit limit stand behind every agent that visits you. Your site asks with one request; SoHo answers for a fraction of a cent. The scrapers stay blocked.
Give verified agents a reason to buy from you. SoHo Offers is a storefront for your brand that agents can read without scraping: your catalog, agent-only deals you set, and SoHo credit terms shown at the point of sale. Human shoppers never see it.
Get paid the moment an agent buys. The agent spends on a credit line SoHo underwrote; you receive USDC at the time of sale; SoHo collects from the person behind the agent. No prefunded wallets, no chargebacks, no credit risk on your books.
Every SoHo Pay agent carries a credential backed by a verified person, a bank account and a credit limit. Your site asks for it with the web's own 402 status; SoHo answers.

Verification tells you an agent is real. SoHo Offers is how you turn that into a sale: your products, your agent-only deals and SoHo's credit terms on one shelf an agent can act on.
Once agent traffic is visible and trusted, you can sell to it on purpose.
Set agent-only offers in the dashboard: free shipping on autonomous reorders, bundle pricing, early access to drops. They appear only to verified agents, so they never cannibalize your human pricing.
A special version of your site, built just for agents. SoHo hosts it for you with your catalog, your prices and your agent-only offers.
The session token allow-lists the agent at your edge. SoHo is registered as a verified-bot provider with Cloudflare and Akamai, so the rule is a toggle, not a deploy. The agent shops your real site with your real checkout, and pays with SoHo Pay at any x402 endpoint you expose.
A hosted, agent-only surface at an address like yourbrand.agents.sohopay.xyz. Your catalog, your prices, your offers, served as an MCP server and a JSON API that agents read without scraping. Checkout is SoHo Pay; you are settled in USDC.
SoHo hosts the verify endpoint, the token service, the storefront and the dashboard for every tier. You publish a pointer, then add more when it pays to.

Identity verified through Plaid, bank account linked, limit set from real data. The credential carries no personal data; we hold the rest.
Limits, velocity, merchant permissions and sanctions screening on every payment. Bust-out patterns are caught before the second order.

Your existing rules apply. Agents fall back to your other payment options. Nothing on your human site depends on us.
No. SoHo hosts it for you at tier 0 and tier 1. You only build your own endpoint at tier 3, if you ever want to.
No. SoHo Verify stops scrapers at the gate. Only agents backed by a verified identity, a linked bank account, and an active credit limit receive credentials. Unverified bots and scrapers are turned away automatically.
SoHo does. We underwrite the credit line and settle with you in USDC immediately at the time of sale. Repayment, collections, and credit risk stay entirely on our books.
No. SoHo Offers is our agent-ready catalog format, but it is completely optional. If you prefer to admit verified agents directly to your own site and checkout stack, you can use our edge rule or API integration instead.
We provide native apps and plugins for Shopify, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and Magento. You can also integrate at the edge with Cloudflare, Akamai, or any standard HTTP stack using our pointer file.
You only pay a fraction of a cent per agent verification and a standard merchant discount rate on completed sales. There are no setup fees, no monthly software subscriptions, and no gas fees.
