#2about 1 minute
Authorizing application payments with the SDK
Applications can request permission to access a user's wallet through a secure redirect flow, obtaining an authorization token to trigger payments on their behalf.

Understanding the three core payment models
The API provides three primary payment models to cover different use cases: instant payments, payment escrows for conditional deals, and payment streams for incremental charges.

Adding tipping features to existing social platforms
Developers can leverage the network effects of major platforms like Twitter by using their APIs to build wrapper applications that add micropayment tipping functionality.
#7about 3 minutes
