Coming soon: payments arrive in a fast-follow release.
Signing an errand from the connector arrives with payments. You ask. You sign. Then Sumvin searches, checks the merchant, watches for your conditions, and settles the purchase. Once you’ve asked, and answered any question it has, your errand stops at pending_approval. Nothing has been searched yet. It waits for you to sign its bounds: the item, in your own words; the most it may spend, and the currency; any conditions; and when your authorisation lapses. Your agent cannot sign for you, from any surface. From the connector, you sign with your passkey, on a Sumvin page in your own browser.

Your errand asks for your signature

Before it searches, your errand proposes a Stamped Mandate covering its bounds, and waits for your signature. From the connector, this step arrives with payments.

Review it

Coming soon, with payments. Your agent can tell you an errand is waiting at pending_approval, but can’t sign it for you.
When you review it, you see three things:
  • The statement — your ask, in your own words, and any conditions (a price target, being in stock).
  • The spend ceiling — the most it may spend. Read this separately from the statement: two requests can use identical wording and still carry different ceilings, so the ceiling is always shown on its own line.
  • When it lapses.
You are signing bounds, not a chosen product. Nothing has been picked yet.

Sign

Coming soon, with payments. You’ll sign in your own browser with your passkey, the one you created at the end of verification.
Once you sign, the errand searches, checks the merchant, and watches for your conditions. A match found within your bounds is bought without asking you again.

Or decline

Declining is final. It cancels the errand. Nothing is signed, nothing is searched, and nothing is spent.
Coming soon, with payments. Until then, you can ask your agent to cancel the errand.
An errand you don’t sign in time expires, and signing is no longer possible. Start a new errand instead.
