# Ping > The orchestration layer for payments Ping is a crypto payment platform that lets users send and receive funds across any blockchain using intent-based routing. Ping is a payment company that operates an orchestration layer connecting fiat systems and multiple blockchains into a single payment network. It is built for merchants, developers, and individual users who want to send or receive funds without matching currencies, wallets, or chains ahead of time. Payers can settle in the asset they hold while payees receive the asset they prefer, with routing handled automatically behind the scenes. The platform addresses the fragmentation of cross-chain and cross-currency payments, where senders and recipients often must hold matching assets on matching networks before a transaction can complete. Ping resolves this by using intent based routing, where a user states the desired outcome and the underlying system finds a path across chains and liquidity sources to execute it. This removes manual bridging, asset swapping, and wallet matching from the payment flow. Its core offerings include hosted checkout pages and embeddable payment widgets for merchants, a fiat onramp into supported digital currencies, and developer APIs and SDKs for building payment flows, including agent to agent payments. Card-based payment acceptance is also supported for non-crypto payers, converting fiat into the recipient's preferred asset. The platform is used across e-commerce, subscriptions, invoicing, in-person crypto payments, and emerging agentic commerce use cases, serving both consumer-facing merchants and software developers building payment infrastructure. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2024-08-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/pingpay_io ## Products - [Ping](https://thegrid.id/profiles/pingpay_io): Ping is a payments infrastructure platform that provides unified APIs, hosted checkout sessions, embeddable payment widgets, and a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp for accepting cryptocurrency payments across multiple blockchains. It uses cross-chain intent routing so payers can pay in any supported currency while payees receive their preferred asset, with checkout links, card-based payment acceptance, and a command-line tool available. The platform is designed for merchants, developers, and autonomous agents needing borderless payment flows, and additional features such as recurring subscriptions and an account layer are in development. (Payments Infrastructure & Orchestration, Live, Main Product) - [Toll](https://thegrid.id/profiles/pingpay_io): Toll is an API gateway that lets autonomous software agents pay per call for third-party developer APIs without creating accounts or managing subscription billing. It exposes a single base URL through the x402 payment protocol, returning a 402 Payment Required response that a client signs and retries, settling each call in a dollar stablecoin on a Layer 2 network. The gateway removes the need for agents to hold long-lived API keys or vendor accounts, instead requiring only a funded wallet to access a catalog of pay-per-call APIs. It is aimed at developers building autonomous agents that consume multiple external services programmatically.
