Payment versus settlement asset

Payment workflow study. ASLminer’s public payment page currently names CoinPal. The MakePay flow here is an illustrative alternative, not a verified deployment.

01 / The business

Customer choice and treasury preference are different decisions.

ASLminer’s company page describes a mining equipment business with offices in Shenzhen and Zhongshan, supplying machines, accessories, and after-sales support. Its public payment information lists several crypto assets and assisted bank transfers. Product payment notes also describe exchanging received website crypto payments into USDT.

That creates a useful payment design question: how can a customer pay with an available asset while a supplier has a clear receiving preference? This study explores the equivalent MakePay pattern. ASLminer’s public payment page currently names CoinPal; a MakePay deployment for this supplier has not been verified.

02 / The payment question

Do not confuse what is sent with what is received.

The asset a customer chooses to send can differ from the asset configured for merchant settlement. A checkout must explain the selected network, amount, and quote without suggesting that every payment route has identical availability or timing.

Separate the buyer’s choice from the receiving configuration.

In the illustrative MakePay flow, the merchant configures a supported settlement asset and wallet. The buyer sees the payment options available for that request. Where a supported conversion route exists, checkout provides its quote and instructions, and the final asset settles to the configured merchant destination.

03 / The workflow

A possible MakePay flow.

An illustrative sequence based on this supplier’s business model. Commercial terms, fulfillment, and customer support remain with the supplier.

  1. 01

    Set the destination

    Configure the merchant’s supported receiving asset, network, and wallet.

  2. 02

    Present available routes

    Let the buyer select an enabled payment option and review the quoted instructions.

  3. 03

    Track settlement

    Keep the customer payment and resulting merchant settlement identifiable in the payment record.

MakePay settlement goes to the merchant’s configured wallet. Available assets and routes depend on the payment.

Design priorities

The details that matter.

Sending asset and network
Show the buyer the exact route they selected.
Receiving asset and wallet
Keep the merchant’s settlement preference explicit.
Route availability
Use the options and quote available for the actual request.
04 / The takeaway

More payment choice needs more clarity, not more guesswork.

A well-structured checkout makes the distinction visible: the buyer follows instructions for the chosen payment route, while the merchant knows its configured settlement destination. The payment record connects those two sides without treating the sending asset and receiving asset as interchangeable.
