## 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 makememoneynomistakes-open-commerce-pathways-session-5ad40116
```

Example prompt: Open a new commerce pathways session for me with a $10 USDC planning budget so my agent can pay sellers directly over the next hour.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to delegate short-horizon (≤1 hour) purchasing or planning tasks to an AI agent that pays multiple sellers directly from your wallet, with a hard USDC spend cap and a single settlement. It is purpose-built for agentic, multi-vendor commerce flows on Base where you want autonomous payment execution without per-transaction approval.

## Known failure modes

- Budget out of range (below 0.50 or above 35 USDC) results in a 400 error
- Insufficient wallet balance to cover budget + service fee causes payment rejection
- Session expires after 1 hour with no refund for unused budget
- Invalid or missing method/type fields return a 400 validation error
- Network or payment processing failure may result in no token being issued

## How this service works

Open Commerce Pathways session: a budget from 0.50 to 35 USDC, a flat 0.01 USDC service fee, delegated planning and one report within 1 hour. Returns a session token. Your wallet pays every seller directly. Unused sessions expire; no refunds.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a session token (string), an authorization header to pass with subsequent calls, budget units (the allocated USDC amount as a string), a shares object describing fee/seller splits, and an ISO 8601 expiration timestamp (within 1 hour). The session token gates all downstream seller payments until expiry.
