Send a payment via Venmo or PayPal

Pay USDC to send money to a Venmo or PayPal recipient. The x402 USDC price is the requested amount plus a 4.9% fee (with a $1.50 minimum fee). On-chain payment credits the calling wallet's Laso account balance via the standard deposit webhook; the callable then debits the gross amount and dispatches the payout.

Asynchronous. A dispatched payout answers 202 Accepted, not 200: the payment is recorded and handed to the payout provider, which settles it afterwards. Poll the returned status_url (GET /get-payment-status?payment_id=...) until state reaches a terminal value rather than treating the 202 as money received. A 200 means the opposite: nothing was dispatched because identity verification is required.

KYC required. The first time a wallet sends a Venmo or PayPal payout it must complete identity verification. If the wallet is not yet verified the response returns kyc_required: true and a kyc_url — open the URL, complete the flow, and retry. If you don't want to proceed, the credited account balance can be withdrawn with POST /withdraw.

Recipient details. For Venmo, recipient_id is the recipient's 10-digit U.S. phone number, and the first and last name are optional. No email is needed. For PayPal, recipient_id is the recipient's PayPal email, which also serves as recipient_email (so recipient_email is optional), and the first and last name are required.

Fee: 4.9% with a $1.50 minimum (included in the USDC price).
