How XPayr applies it

XPayr keeps the chain gas cost separate from its own gateway or operation fee. The public calculator accepts live-style gas inputs, while executable flows obtain a wallet-visible estimate before signing.

Verified on ARC Testnet

XPayr keeps ARC Mainnet payment execution review-gated until canonical production contracts, explorer support and low-value wallet-signed pilots are verified. Public tools and Testnet flows remain available for evaluation.

From question to a controlled ARC transaction

1

Understand the primitive

Start with the exact ARC capability, supported asset and network boundary instead of a generic blockchain promise.

2

Plan the route

Choose checkout, send, bridge, swap, Unified Balance, memo, batch or agent settlement and review its fee model.

3

Sign from the wallet

The merchant or payer wallet signs the operation. XPayr does not treat a browser response as settlement proof.

4

Verify and reconcile

XPayr checks chain, token, amount, recipient and transaction evidence before updating payment and fee ledgers.

Is this available on ARC Mainnet through XPayr?

XPayr keeps ARC Mainnet payment execution review-gated until canonical production contracts, explorer support and low-value wallet-signed pilots are verified. Public tools and Testnet flows remain available for evaluation.

Does XPayr custody funds or hide the network fee?

No. Wallets sign transactions, chain fees remain visible and XPayr records its operation fee separately. Standard successful checkout uses the configured XPayr gateway fee; advanced ARC operations use their published fee quote.
