Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. PayLayer is designed with security as a top priority. We follow modern WordPress security standards and best practices to ensure the plugin is safe, reliable, and stable.

The plugin does not affect the experience for human visitors, and it only enables AI-specific payment and access logic. PayLayer is also planned for release on WordPress.org, where it will undergo additional community and platform review.

PayLayer is built to be compatible with current and emerging AI agents and bots. We actively work toward broad support, including major AI systems such as:

– ChatGPT by OpenAI
– Gemini by Google
– Claude by Anthropic
– Grok by xAI

Other AI agents and automated systems that support programmatic payments
Support varies by AI platform today, but PayLayer is designed to stay compatible as AI commerce and paid crawling continue to evolve.

Yes. Support for Shopify is actively in development and coming soon.

After Shopify, we plan to explore additional platforms such as Framer. If there’s a specific CMS, website builder, or app framework you’d like to see supported, feel free to contact us — we actively consider user feedback when prioritizing new integrations.

No. PayLayer does not change anything for human visitors.

Your website continues to function exactly as it always has for regular users. PayLayer only enhances how AI agents and bots access, understand, and transact with your site. All AI-specific logic runs separately and does not interfere with your design, content, checkout flow, or performance for human visitors.

Yes. PayLayer is completely free to install and use.

There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or required upgrades. Our goal is to make AI monetization infrastructure accessible to everyone as the web shifts toward AI-driven interactions. You remain in full control of whether you enable optional features like AI purchases or paid content access.

PayLayer is created and actively developed by some of the developers behind SuperbThemes. While our team brings years of WordPress plugin experience from projects like Superb Addons, PayLayer is a completely independent and free product and is not affiliated with SuperbThemes as a business.

This background allows us to build PayLayer following established WordPress best practices for performance, security, and compatibility.

No. PayLayer is designed to be lightweight and efficient.

It does not add heavy scripts, block rendering, or change your site’s frontend behavior. Since PayLayer primarily operates when AI agents interact with your site, it has no measurable impact on page speed or performance for human visitors.

Getting started takes only a few minutes:

1. Download and install the PayLayer plugin from our website
2. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard
3. Click PayLayer in the menu
4. Enable the features you want, such as AI product purchases or paid content access

No changes are required to your existing theme or human-facing website experience.

x402 is an AI-native payment protocol designed specifically for automated, programmatic transactions.

Traditional payment systems are built for humans and introduce friction that doesn’t work well for AI agents. PayLayer uses x402 because it allows AI systems to:

– Discover pricing automatically
– Pay instantly without human workflows
– Access content or complete purchases programmatically

x402 already processes tens of millions of dollars in monthly transactions, making it a proven and reliable foundation for AI monetization.

Yes. You have full control.

PayLayer allows you to select exactly which pages, posts, or content types require payment before AI agents and bots can access them. You can leave most of your site freely crawlable while placing a paywall only on high-value content you want to monetize.

This gives you flexibility without restricting visibility for human visitors.
