GateCheck does not replace x402 facilitators.
x402 facilitators help verify and settle payments; GateCheck helps buyers decide whether a paid route is legible enough to test before payment.
x402 sellers, MCP builders, and buyer-agent operators comparing payment infrastructure with buyer-facing route proof.
A route can use x402 and still be unclear to a buyer: missing public metadata, vague pricing, weak examples, or unsupported claims can block agent trust before money moves.
What the buyer gets
A routeability card and readiness report that sit before payment infrastructure: route, price, evidence, remaining risk, stop conditions, and expected after-payment proof.
FAQ
Does GateCheck process x402 payments?
No. GateCheck is not a facilitator, payment rail, wallet, settlement verifier, or CDP replacement.
When should a seller use both?
Use the facilitator for payment verification and settlement. Use GateCheck before launch to make the paid route legible to buyers, reviewers, crawlers, and agents.
What should a buyer trust from GateCheck?
Trust the observed public metadata, unpaid 402 evidence, stop conditions, and claim boundary; do not treat it as settlement proof.
