Audit: policy passed, order created, captured

How Capstan works

One pipeline for operators: no hidden automation, no payment without a recorded decision.

  1. 01

    Draft

    Operator or AI proposes a contractor payout with milestone context.

  2. 02

    Policy

    Caps and rules run before any PayPal API call is allowed.

  3. 03

    Review

    Human confirms amount, payee, and description on a clear summary.

  4. 04

    Transact

    PayPal sandbox checkout captures funds; every step hits the audit log.

Trust by design

Agentic commerce only works when operators can see what happened and why. Capstan logs policy blocks, approvals, and PayPal order lifecycle events in one timeline, built for compliance minded teams and finance operators.

  • Sandbox first. Develop and demo without live funds.
  • Confirm before checkout. Two human checkpoints before the PayPal UI.
  • AG Grid cockpit. Filters, CSV export, and row inspection on every PayPal and policy event.
