Accept Payments Anywhere — No Terminal, No Chargebacks
To take card payments, a small shop rents a terminal, signs up with a processor, waits three days for the money — and still carries the risk that a customer reverses the charge weeks later. The tools are built for the middleman, not the merchant.
CorePay removes that whole layer.
What Is CorePay?
CorePay is the merchant side of payments in the Core ecosystem — a way for anyone selling something to get paid without a processor, a terminal, or a sign-up process. At its simplest it's a single payment link, or a small form you paste into your website. The customer pays; the money arrives.
Underneath, it speaks PayTo and settles on Core, so payments clear in seconds and can't be charged back.
A Quick Example
A beekeeper at a weekend market prints one QR code and tapes it to her stand. A customer scans, pays, and in seconds the money is in her account — no card terminal to rent, no processor taking a cut, and no chance the payment gets reversed on Monday.
What It Does
- One payment link — send it, embed it, or print it as a QR; no developer needed
- Drop-in checkout — a small form you copy-paste into any website, no integration project
- Instant, final money — funds arrive in seconds, not on a 30-day hold
- Instant confirmation — your system is notified the moment a payment lands, verified so it can't be faked
- Recurring payments — set up a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly charge; the payer can pause or cancel it any time. Subscriptions without a processor.
- Open and flexible — route payments through different providers behind one setup
Where It Fits
If CorePort is the app a customer opens, CorePay is the tool a seller reaches for — and PayTo is the standard underneath both. CorePay went live in June 2026, with Ping Exchange as the first connected gateway and Wall Money next. And there's no merchant account to apply for: if you hold a CorePass identity, the KYC you did once is your merchant credential — a registered Core ID can start taking payments straight away.
For a small online store or a creator, that's the difference between "set up a merchant account" and "paste a link."
CorePay. Take payments, keep your margin.
