FAQs and Troubleshooting
1. Prerequisites
Before diving in, make sure you have:
Basic understanding of web development (HTML, JavaScript, API logic)
Crypto wallet installed (e.g. MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet)
A small amount of stablecoins (e.g. USDC) on a supported Layer 2 blockchain (such as Base or Optimism)

2. How x402 Payment Flow Works
Here’s the simple flow:
User tries to access a paid feature or content.
Server responds with HTTP 402 (Payment Required), including payment instructions.
User’s wallet prompts for payment.
Upon successful payment, access is instantly granted.
3. Step 1: Prepare Your Web Environment
Example: Node.js + Express.js API, but you can adapt for any stack.
// Express.js Example
const express = require(’express’);
const app = express();
app.get(’/premium-data’, (req, res) => {
if (!req.userHasPaid) {
// Respond with HTTP 402 and payment details
return res.status(402).json({
message: ‘Payment required.’,
payment_address: ‘0xYourWalletAddress’,
amount: 0.5, // Amount in USDC
network: ‘Base’,
currency: ‘USDC’
});
}
// User has paid: send premium data
res.json({ data: ‘Super Premium Content Here!’ });
});
app.listen(3000, () => console.log(’Server running on port 3000’));🔧 Need help setting up your environment? Our Telegram community has developers who can troubleshoot in real-time!
4. Step 2: Choose Your Blockchain & Wallet
Popular choices for x402:
Base (Coinbase Layer 2): Fast, low fees, excellent x402 support
Optimism: Ethereum Layer 2 with broad adoption
Solana: Ultra-fast for high-volume transactions
Set up your receiving wallet and secure your private keys. Never share them publicly!

5. Step 3: Implement x402 Payment Requests
Send payment instructions when access is attempted without prior payment:
Required Information:
Payment amount (in stablecoin/token)
Supported network(s)
Your wallet address
Optional: Transaction deadline
// Payment instruction object
const paymentInfo = {
protocol: ‘x402’,
amount: ‘0.50’,
currency: ‘USDC’,
network: ‘Base’,
recipient: ‘0xYourWalletAddress’,
memo: ‘Premium API Access’
};6. Step 4: Connect with User Wallets
Integrate a web3 wallet connector in your frontend for seamless UX.
Example: Using ethers.js with MetaMask
import { ethers } from “ethers”;
async function payForAccess(recipientAddress, amount) {
if (!window.ethereum) {
alert(”Please install MetaMask or another Web3 wallet!”);
return;
}
try {
const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum);
await provider.send(”eth_requestAccounts”, []);
const signer = provider.getSigner();
// For USDC (ERC-20 token), use contract interaction
const usdcContract = new ethers.Contract(
USDC_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
[’function transfer(address to, uint amount) returns (bool)’],
signer
);
const tx = await usdcContract.transfer(
recipientAddress,
ethers.utils.parseUnits(amount.toString(), 6) // USDC has 6 decimals
);
await tx.wait(); // Wait for confirmation
return tx;
} catch (error) {
console.error(”Payment failed:”, error);
}

7. Step 5: Verify and Unlock Access
After payment is sent, verify the transaction on-chain:
Methods:
Webhook listeners (via Alchemy, Infura, or QuickNode)
Polling the blockchain for transaction status
User provides transaction hash for manual verification
async function verifyPayment(txHash, expectedAmount, recipientAddress) {
const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(YOUR_RPC_URL);
const tx = await provider.getTransaction(txHash);
const receipt = await provider.getTransactionReceipt(txHash);
if (receipt && receipt.status === 1) {
// Transaction successful
// Verify amount and recipient match
return true;
}
return false;
}Once verified, grant access by:
Setting a session cookie/token
Updating database permissions
Redirecting to premium content

10. FAQs and Troubleshooting
Q: What if a user’s payment doesn’t confirm?
A: Implement timeout logic and provide clear instructions. Users can retry or contact support with their transaction hash.
Q: Can I accept tokens other than stablecoins?
A: Yes! But stablecoins (USDC, USDT) offer price stability. Native tokens may need price conversion logic.
Q: How do I handle refunds?
A: Crypto transactions are irreversible. Build refund workflows that send tokens back to user wallets with proper verification.
Q: Is x402 secure?
A: Yes, when implemented correctly. Never store private keys client-side, always verify payments server-side.
Q: What about gas fees?
A: Layer 2 solutions like Base keep fees under $0.01. For micropayments, this is negligible.
