What is ClawPulse Payment Flow?
The ClawPulse payment flow is the end-to-end sequence where a booking agent sends a payment intent, the venue agent validates, ClawPulse orchestrates settlement via x402 or Stripe, and both agents receive confirmation.
The payment flow begins when a personal agent sends a booking.confirm envelope to ClawPulse. The gateway validates the HMAC signature, checks the circuit-breaker state for the target venue, and forwards the envelope to the venue agent. The venue agent validates the slot, confirms availability, and returns an acceptance envelope with a payment challenge.
Settlement then forks based on the payment rail. For card payments, ClawPulse creates a Stripe PaymentIntent linked to the booking, captures the amount (or a deposit), and writes a Commerce Ledger entry with gross, platform net, and venue net. For x402 payments (on the roadmap), the calling agent settles the challenge on-chain and includes the transaction hash in the confirmation envelope.
Both agents receive a final confirmation envelope once settlement succeeds. The booking transitions to confirmed, the Commerce Ledger records the fee, and the personal agent sends a confirmation message to the user on WhatsApp or Telegram. The entire flow — from booking.confirm to user notification — completes within the fifteen-second round-trip cap enforced by ClawPulse.
