# Cross-corridor vendor payouts

> Pay vendors and contractors in their preferred chain and currency from a single USDC treasury. Bridging is one command per recipient.

A platform paying suppliers, contractors, or marketplace sellers across borders typically holds dozens of banking relationships and a half-dozen currency accounts. Each new corridor adds another set of operational dependencies. The Agent CLI collapses that to a single USDC treasury on Polygon plus one command per recipient. Same-chain payouts go through `send-token`; cross-chain payouts go through `swap --to-chain`. Recipients who want fiat get a Trails off-ramp URL.

Each disbursement carries dry-run + broadcast, so finance reviews the entire batch before any funds move. Each broadcast produces an onchain receipt that maps one-to-one with a row in your payout schedule.

**Who this is for:**

* AP managers running weekly or monthly multi-corridor disbursements
* Marketplaces paying international sellers in their local rails
* Gig and payroll platforms with contractors across regions
* Payouts networks settling to vendors on different chains

Each row in the schedule maps to one CLI command. Same-chain rows use `send-token`. Cross-chain rows use `swap --from USDC --to USDC --to-chain <chain>`. Recipients that want fiat receive a Trails widget URL via `polygon-agent fund --wallet <theirs>`; they complete the off-ramp themselves.

***

## Get started

Same-chain payouts use `send-token`. Cross-chain payouts use `swap --to-chain` to bridge through Trails. Recipients who want fiat receive a Trails widget URL via `fund`. Every command is dry-run by default; broadcast the batch only after finance signs off.

### Install

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @polygonlabs/agent-cli
polygon-agent setup --name "ap-treasury"
polygon-agent wallet create --usdc-limit 100000
```

No extra flags are needed for transfers and cross-chain swaps. Size `--usdc-limit` to cover a typical disbursement batch.

### Drive it from an LLM

```text theme={null}
Read https://agentconnect.polygon.technology/SKILL.md and pay this week's vendor schedule: 500 USDC to 0xVendorA on Base, 250 USDC to 0xVendorB on Arbitrum, and 1000 USDC to 0xVendorC on Polygon. Dry-run the full batch first, then broadcast once I confirm. Report each transaction hash and the final balance on every chain.
```

### Run the commands directly

```bash theme={null}
# Same-chain payout
polygon-agent send-token --to 0xVendor --symbol USDC --amount 250
polygon-agent send-token --to 0xVendor --symbol USDC --amount 250 --broadcast

# Cross-chain payout (Polygon → Base)
polygon-agent swap --from USDC --to USDC --amount 500 \
  --chain polygon --to-chain base
polygon-agent swap --from USDC --to USDC --amount 500 \
  --chain polygon --to-chain base --broadcast

# Confirm balances across both chains
polygon-agent balances --chains polygon,base
```
