Conto

Separate spending rules for each customer

Each customer gets their own limits. Your agent asks Conto before it pays.

From one customer to one payment

Your backend adds each customer once. Conto checks their rules on each payment request.

Step 1

Add each customer

Create one agent for each customer with your organization key, and store your customer ID on it. For store purchases, create a buyer instead.

Step 2

Set their limits

Your backend sets limits and allowed recipients. For store purchases, the customer sets limits on a Conto page.

Step 3

Your agent asks Conto

Conto answers Approved, Needs approval, or Blocked under that customer's rules.

One agent, three customers, one $129 request

Example data. A request marked approved can be paid. It shows as paid once the payment confirms.

What each customer gets

Your backend manages customers with one organization key. Agent keys can't loosen any rule.

Rules for each customer

Set per-payment and daily limits, allowed recipients, and categories for one customer. Rules you set for your whole organization apply to every customer as well.

Keys that can't loosen rules

Agent keys can't raise a limit or remove a rule. Your backend can, with your organization key.

Approvals

On store purchases, the customer reviews each purchase on a Conto page from a link you send. On your own payment path, requests that need approval go to reviewers in your Conto workspace.

Store purchases on the customer's card

The customer adds a card and confirms per-purchase and daily limits on a Conto page. Your keys can't add a card, grant permission to shop, or approve a purchase.

Records for each customer

Each payment request records the agent, recipient, amount, and policy result. Your customer ID is on the agent, so you can match them to your own records.

Checks in the payment path

On managed wallets and connected cards, Conto releases the signature or card details only after a request passes. If you use your own signer, x402, or MPP, your code asks Conto first and follows the answer.

Run one customer's limits through the demo

Under $100 the purchase clears. Above it, the agent stops and asks. A gift card is blocked.

What you don't have to build

You add limits, approvals, and audit records for each customer without building them.

On store purchases, your platform and your agents never receive card details.

Your app can follow each purchase and payment through events and signed webhooks.

Support can look up a payment's recipient, amount, rules, and approval history.

Spending limits apply to payments made through the connected integration.
