Pay Protocol Merchant Sub-Contract Guide
In traditional Web2 internet, when large merchants integrate with payment platforms, they often need to allocate independent payment sub-accounts for different business lines, stores, or even individual users (such as Alipay's PID or bank virtual accounts) to achieve fund allocation management and reconciliation.
In Pay Protocol's blockchain world, the core concept that realizes this functionality is Merchant Sub-Contract. It is not the merchant's sole payment address, but rather smart contract addresses that merchants can generate on-demand in batches, specifically serving particular scenarios (such as one user or one order). Due to its foundation on blockchain and smart contracts, the generation and management methods are more flexible, transparent, and secure.
