Make agent access and payment requirements understandable.
Document what an agent must authenticate, prove and pay before a request is fulfilled. Use only the supported interfaces your service can enforce.

Credia Verify
Inspect specific claims and the evidence behind them.
Follow the payment requirement lifecycle.
An unpaid request gets a 402 with the price and payment requirements; the agent pays, retries with proof of payment, and your adapter verifies it before serving the route.
Design authenticated requests deliberately.
Decide which routes need a known caller, which need payment, and which need both. Keep human, key-authenticated customers on their existing path.
Prevent replay.
Bind each payment proof to one request and expire it, so a single payment cannot be replayed to unlock unlimited calls.
Add caller and claim checks as you need them.
Credia Auth and Credia Verify are in Private Beta for providers that need to know who is calling and what has been checked before fulfilling a request.
Selling API calls to agents in practice
What providers ask before charging agents per call.
ನಾನು ಒಂದೇ APIಗಾಗಿ AgentCredia ಜೊತೆ Stripe ಅನ್ನು ಓಡಿಸಬಹುದೆ?
Yes. Keep your existing card-based signup for people and list only the agent-facing routes in the x402 pricing table. The adapter gates exactly those routes; everything else passes straight through. To serve both on one route, check your own API key first and skip the priced path for authenticated callers.
What if an agent pays and then never retries the call?
The payment is still valid on-chain; it simply goes unused. It is rare because x402 clients retry immediately, but you can track verified payments that never produced a completed call and send the USDC back with payments.create. A refund is a payment in the other direction.
How do I version my API and change prices?
Pricing entries are per route. Expose v2 endpoints alongside v1 with new prices as new entries; clients see the new amount in their first 402 on the v2 route. Avoid sudden price rises on stable routes: deprecate the old route instead.
What does observability look like?
Every payment appears in the dashboard and on your payment.received webhook, so you can stream it into your logging stack. The adapter runs in your server, so you can also emit request-level metrics: routes quoted, 402s returned and payments verified. Alert on spikes in 402s or drops in verified payments.
Am I a money services business if I accept agent payments?
It depends on your jurisdiction, and this is not legal advice. Receiving payment for services you provide is generally different from transmitting money between third parties. You owe tax on the revenue, and AgentCredia provides the records you need. Get specific legal advice before high-volume production traffic in strict jurisdictions.
