Monitor Cryptocurrency Payments Across Multiple Blockchains with AgentGatePay

AgentGatePay N8N Quick Start Guide

Get your AI agents paying for resources autonomously in under 10 minutes.

> ⚠️ BETA VERSION: These templates are currently in beta. We're actively adding features and improvements based on user feedback. Expect updates for enhanced functionality, additional blockchain networks, and new payment options.

What You'll Build

Buyer Agent: Automatically pays for API resources using USDC, USDT, or DAI on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, or Arbitrum blockchains Seller API: Accepts multi-token payments and delivers resources Monitoring**: Track spending and revenue in real-time across all chains and tokens

Supported Tokens: USDC (6 decimals) - Recommended USDT (6 decimals) DAI (18 decimals)

Supported Blockchains: Ethereum (mainnet) Base (recommended for low gas fees ~$0.001) Polygon Arbitrum

Prerequisites (5 minutes)

1. Create AgentGatePay Accounts

Buyer Account (agent that pays): curl -X POST https://api.agentgatepay.com/v1/users/signup
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{ "email": "buyer@example.com", "password": "SecurePass123!", "user_type": "agent" }'

Seller Account (receives payments): curl -X POST https://api.agentgatepay.com/v1/users/signup
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{ "email": "seller@example.com", "password": "SecurePass123!", "user_type": "merchant" }'

Save both API keys - shown only once!

2. Deploy Transaction Signing Service (2 minutes)

One-Click Render Deploy: Click: Enter: AGENTGATEPAY_API_KEY: Your buyer API key WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY: Your wallet private key (0x...) Deploy → Copy service URL: https://your-app.onrender.com

3. Fund Wallet Send USDC, USDT, or DAI to your buyer wallet Default: Base network (lowest gas fees) Need $1 in tokens for testing + $0.01 ETH for gas (on Ethereum) or ~$0.001 on Base

Installation (3 minutes)

Step 1: Import Templates

In N8N: Go to Workflows → Add Workflow Click ⋮ (three dots) → Import from File Import all 3 workflows: 🤖 Create a Cryptocurrency-Powered API for Selling Digital Resources with AgentGatePay 💲Create a Cryptocurrency-Powered API for Selling Digital Resources with AgentGatePay 📊 AgentGatePay - Monitoring Dashboard

Step 2: Create Data Table

In N8N Settings: Go to Settings → Data → Data Tables Create table: AgentPay_Mandates Add column: mandate_token (type: String) Save

Configuration (2 minutes)

Configure Seller API First

Open: 💲Seller Resource API - CLIENT TEMPLATE

Edit Node 1 (Parse Request): const SELLER_CONFIG = { merchant: { wallet_address: "0xYourSellerWallet...", // ← Your seller wallet api_key: "pk_live_xyz789..." // ← Your seller API key }, catalog: { "demo-resource": { id: "demo-resource", price_usd: 0.01, // $0.01 per resource description: "Demo API Resource" } } };

Activate workflow → Copy webhook URL

Configure Buyer Agent

Open: 🤖 Buyer Agent - CLIENT TEMPLATE

Edit Node 1 (Load Config): const CONFIG = { buyer: { email: "buyer@example.com", // ← Your buyer email api_key: "pk_live_abc123...", // ← Your buyer API key budget_usd: 100, // $100 mandate budget mandate_ttl_days: 7 // 7-day validity }, seller: { api_url: "https://YOUR-N8N.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/YOUR-WEBHOOK-ID" // ← Seller webhook base URL ONLY (see README.md for extraction instructions) }, render: { service_url: "https://your-app.onrender.com" // ← Your Render URL } };

Run Your First Payment (1 minute)

Execute Buyer Agent

Open Buyer Agent workflow Click Execute Workflow Watch the magic happen: Mandate created ($100 budget) Resource requested (402 Payment Required) Payment signed (2 transactions: merchant + commission) Payment verified on blockchain Resource delivered

Total time: ~5-8 seconds

Verify on Blockchain

Check transactions on BaseScan: https://basescan.org/address/YOUR_BUYER_WALLET

You'll see: TX 1:** Commission to AgentGatePay (0.5% = $0.00005) TX 2:** Payment to seller (99.5% = $0.00995)

Monitor Activity - Choose Buyer/Seller or both

Buyer Monitoring

Open: 📊 AgentGatePay - Monitoring Dashboard

Edit Node 1: Set your buyer wallet address and API key

Execute → See: Mandate budget remaining Payment history Total spent Average transaction size

How It Works

Payment Flow

Buyer Agent requests resource ↓ Seller returns 402 Payment Required (includes: wallet address, price, token, chain) ↓ Buyer signs TWO blockchain transactions via Render: Merchant payment (99.5%) Gateway commission (0.5%) ↓ Buyer resubmits request with transaction hashes ↓ Seller verifies payment with AgentGatePay API ↓ Seller delivers resource

Key Concepts

AP2 Mandate: Pre-authorized spending authority Budget limit ($100 in example) Time limit (7 days in example) Stored in N8N Data Table for reuse

x402 Protocol: HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code Seller specifies payment details Buyer pays and retries with proof

Two-Transaction Model: Transaction 1: Merchant receives 99.5% Transaction 2: Gateway receives 0.5% Both verified on blockchain

Customization

Change Resource Price

Edit seller Node 1: catalog: { "expensive-api": { id: "expensive-api", price_usd: 1.00, // ← Change price description: "Premium API access" } }

Add More Resources

catalog: { "basic": { id: "basic", price_usd: 0.01, description: "Basic API" }, "pro": { id: "pro", price_usd: 0.10, description: "Pro API" }, "enterprise": { id: "enterprise", price_usd: 1.00, description: "Enterprise API" } }

Buyer requests by ID: ?resource_id=pro

Change Blockchain and Token

By default, templates use Base + USDC. To change:

Edit buyer Node 1 (Load Config): const CONFIG = { buyer: { /* ... / }, seller: { / ... / }, render: { / ... */ }, payment: { chain: "polygon", // Options: ethereum, base, polygon, arbitrum token: "DAI" // Options: USDC, USDT, DAI } };

Important: Ensure your wallet has the selected token on the selected chain Update Render service to support the chain (add RPC URL) Gas fees vary by chain.

Token Decimals: USDC/USDT: 6 decimals (automatic conversion) DAI: 18 decimals (automatic conversion)

Schedule Monitoring

Replace "Execute Workflow" trigger with Schedule Trigger: Buyer monitoring: Every 1 hour Seller monitoring: Every 6 hours

Add Slack/Email node to send alerts.

Troubleshooting

"Mandate expired" Fix: Delete mandate from Data Table → Re-execute workflow

"Transaction not found" Fix: Wait 10-15 seconds for blockchain confirmation → Retry

"Render service unavailable" Fix: Render free tier spins down after 15 min → First request takes ~5 sec (cold start)

"Insufficient funds" Fix: Send more tokens (USDC/USDT/DAI) to buyer wallet Check balance on blockchain explorer (BaseScan for Base, Etherscan for Ethereum, etc.)

"Webhook not responding" Fix: Ensure seller workflow is Active (toggle in top-right)

Production Checklist

Before going live:

[ ] Use separate wallet for agent (not your main wallet) [ ] Set conservative mandate budgets ($10-100) [ ] Monitor spending daily (use monitoring workflows) [ ] Upgrade Render to paid tier ($7/mo) for no cold starts [ ] Set up Slack/email alerts for low balance [ ] Test with small amounts first ($0.01-0.10) [ ] Keep API keys secure (use N8N credentials manager) [ ] Review transactions on blockchain explorer weekly
