## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability cryptopulse-merchant-crypto-payment-guide-8e88a34b
```

Example prompt: I run a small online retail shop in Germany and want to start accepting crypto payments — can you give me a guide on the best crypto payment processors for my business type and country, including how to get started?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a merchant or developer needs actionable, personalized advice on which crypto payment processor to use for their specific business type and geography, rather than generic crypto payment overviews or consumer-facing crypto spending guides.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized country may return generic global recommendations
- Edge-case business types may yield limited processor options
- Stale processor data if the underlying guide hasn't been updated recently
- HTTP 402 if payment header is missing or invalid USDC amount

## How this service works

Accept crypto payments with the right processor for your business type and country. For merchant and payments agents.

## Output
