| 7 | The USDC payment request endpoint creates an on-chain payment instruction for a specific tenant and amount. Call this endpoint whenever you need to initiate a USDC settlement — for example, after a procurement evaluation completes or when issuing a direct payment. The response includes a `payment_id` that you pass to the watch or manual-confirm endpoints to track the transaction's on-chain status. Each payment request targets a single blockchain network and expires if the corresponding on-chain transfer is not confirmed within the allotted window. |

| 9 | ## Endpoint |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ```http |
| 12 | POST /mods/procurement_wallet/usdc/request |
| 13 | ``` |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Authentication |
| 16 | |
| 17 | All requests to the wallet mod endpoints require your mod API key in the `x-perplexity-mod-key` header. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ```text |
| 20 | x-perplexity-mod-key: <your-api-key> |
| 21 | ``` |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Request Body |
| 24 | |
| 25 | <ParamField body="tenant_id" type="string" required> |
| 26 | Your tenant identifier. This must match a tenant registered in ProcureNet. Requests for unregistered tenants return `422`. |
| 27 | </ParamField> |
| 28 | |
| 29 | <ParamField body="amount_usdc" type="number" required> |
| 30 | Payment amount in USDC. Must be a positive number. ProcureNet's VCI payment tiers determine the appropriate amount based on average evaluation score: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | | Average Score | Payment Amount | |
| 33 | |---|---| |
| 34 | | ≥ 9.0 | 500 USDC | |
| 35 | | ≥ 7.0 | 250 USDC | |
| 36 | | ≥ 5.0 | 100 USDC | |
| 37 | | < 5.0 | 0 USDC (no payment initiated) | |
| 38 | </ParamField> |
| 39 | |
| 40 | <ParamField body="network" type="string" required> |
| 41 | The blockchain network on which to route the payment. Accepted values: `base`, `arbitrum`, `polygon`, `ethereum`. |
| 42 | </ParamField> |
| 43 | |
| 44 | <ParamField body="token" type="string" required> |
| 45 | Token type. Always pass `"USDC"`. |
| 46 | </ParamField> |
| 47 | |
| 48 | <ParamField body="memo" type="string" required> |
| 49 | A human-readable description attached to the payment. Use this to identify the purpose of the payment, such as a reference number or a brief note about the transaction. |
| 50 | </ParamField> |
| 51 | |
| 52 | <ParamField body="metadata" type="object"> |
| 53 | Arbitrary key-value pairs attached to the payment record. Use this field to link the payment back to your internal records. Keys and values must be JSON-serializable. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | <Expandable title="Example metadata keys"> |
| 56 | | Key | Type | Description | |
| 57 | |---|---|---| |
| 58 | | `evaluator_id` | string | Your internal evaluator identifier | |
| 59 | | `assignment_id` | string | The assignment this payment covers | |
| 60 | | `submitted_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp of submission | |

| 111 | ## Response |
| 112 | |
| 113 | <ResponseField name="payment_id" type="string" required> |
| 114 | Unique identifier for this payment request. Pass this value to [`GET /usdc/watch/{paymentId}`](/api/usdc-watch) to poll for confirmation, or to [`POST /usdc/manual-confirm`](/api/usdc-manual-confirm) to force-confirm. |
| 115 | </ResponseField> |
| 116 | |
| 117 | <ResponseField name="deposit_address" type="string" required> |
| 118 | The on-chain wallet address that will receive the USDC transfer. |
| 119 | </ResponseField> |
| 120 | |
| 121 | <ResponseField name="qr_code" type="string"> |
| 122 | A data URI containing a QR code image for the deposit address. Render this in your UI so payers can scan and transfer directly from a mobile wallet. |
| 123 | </ResponseField> |
| 124 | |
| 125 | <ResponseField name="expires_at" type="string"> |
| 126 | ISO 8601 timestamp after which this payment request is no longer valid. If the on-chain transfer is not confirmed before this time, the request expires and you must create a new one. |
| 127 | </ResponseField> |

| 129 | ### Example Response |

| 140 | ## Error Codes |
| 141 | |
| 142 | | Status | Meaning | |
| 143 | |---|---| |
| 144 | | `400` | Invalid `network` value or `amount_usdc` is zero or negative | |
| 145 | | `401` | Missing or invalid `x-perplexity-mod-key` header | |
| 146 | | `422` | `tenant_id` does not match a registered ProcureNet tenant | |
| 147 | |
| 148 | <Tip> |
| 149 | Store `payment_id` and `deposit_address` from the response immediately after a successful request. Pass `payment_id` to the watch endpoint to begin polling for on-chain confirmation. |
| 150 | </Tip> |
