A payment address that can move with the business
Switch payment providers without replacing every link
A business puts one stable payment address on invoices, websites and QR codes. If its bank, wallet or payment provider changes later, those published links can keep working.
The public address stays the same
What customers keep using
https://openpaymentaddress.org/examples/portable-business
This is the address printed on invoices and shared with customers.
Where it currently points
https://openpaymentaddress.org/examples/multi-rail
The business can update this destination without changing the public address.
The payer’s app checks both the public address and its current destination before showing any payment method. This is called delegation: it keeps the setup flexible without hiding where the payment will go.
