Smart contract payments are automated, self-executing transactions on a blockchain that transfer funds when predefined conditions are met. Unlike traditional payment processors, smart contracts eliminate intermediaries — the code itself enforces payment rules, fee structures, and routing logic.
For merchants, smart contract payments mean transparency (fees are visible on-chain), security (no third party holds your funds), and reliability (the contract cannot be altered or manipulated). Zateway uses smart contracts to enforce the 1% fee and route payments directly to merchant wallets.
