# Build on Tempo

Use this section when you are designing payment experiences or payment infrastructure on Tempo. The guides here focus on what your product needs to do: move stablecoins, issue assets, exchange liquidity, isolate activity in private zones, or let agents pay for services.

Start with **Make Payments** if you are not sure where to begin. It covers the core transfer flow and introduces the payment primitives used throughout the rest of the docs.

Use [Agentic Payments](/docs/guide/machine-payments) when agents, APIs, or services need to pay per request. Use [Private Zones](/docs/guide/private-zones) when your product needs isolated execution, private transfers, or zone bridging flows.
