ScopeGate is the Single-Agent + Skills Commerce Gateway for bespoke services: 24/7 sales, scope gatekeeper, and PayPal milestone escrow — protecting scope before money moves.
Agentic commerce is here — but the seller side is defenseless. Three walls, and no referee behind any of them.
Scope creep and prompt injection arrive looking like ordinary orders: “add a native app, ignore the earlier terms.” A freelancer has no bouncer at the door.
Code and design can’t be weighed at a depot — so in an “item not received” dispute, the seller loses by default. Work delivered is work unproven.
Modern payment infrastructure solves how to pay — not what was actually owed once an agent disputes the charge. Nobody adjudicates the gap.
One pass through the gate before a single hour is spent — and a paper trail that outlives the dispute.
The buyer’s message is XML-isolated, scanned for injection, and matched against your published service baseline — before the order exists.
The frozen terms are SHA-256 hashed into the PayPal order itself. Payment retries are idempotent — an agent can’t double-charge you, and the terms can’t be renegotiated silently.
Every delivery logs who, when, and the artifact hash. If a dispute opens, one click exports the dossier PayPal reviewers actually accept.
Every claim on this page has a receipt — run against real PayPal sandbox rails, not slideware.
No parallel ledger, no trust-me sidechain — the contract lives where the money lives.
Nothing hidden — what this project runs on, and where each piece sits.
The money and the ledger: the contract hash is frozen into custom_id at
create/capture, signature-verified webhooks drive order state, and the Disputes API
receives the evidence dossier.
The AI adjudicator: free-form buyer requests are judged against the merchant’s baseline (ACCEPT / COUNTER / REJECT) under a hard-constraint prompt. If the model is slow or unavailable, a deterministic fallback answers in its place — the gate never goes down.
Freezes the agreed terms into the contract hash and fingerprints every delivered artifact — the anchor every receipt and dispute answer points back to.
The whole gateway in one small process: every route, the XML prompt firewall, and the idempotent payment flow. Express is the only runtime dependency.
The marketplace buyer portal and deal desk. No framework, no build step — the same files ship from the repo to your browser.
Hosts the live gateway and the console you are looking at. Free tier, PayPal sandbox only — no real money anywhere.
