Monetize Your n8n Workflow with x402

This workflow lets you monetize any n8n workflow with the x402 payment protocol.

It uses 1Shot API as the onchain transaction fascilitator role.

Check out the tutorial video for a complete walkthrough.

Setup

  1. Create a free 1Shot API account, then go to the API Keys tab and generate a new API key & secret.
  2. Click on one of the 1Shot API nodes and use the API key & secret from step 1 to create a credentail. You'll need you 1Shot API business ID as well which is located in the top right-hand corner of the 1Shot API dashboard.
  3. Click on the Payment Token Configs box and enter in the required token information for the x402-compatible tokens you want to accept as payment. Import the x402-compatible tokens you want to accept as payments into your 1Shot API (must be an ERC-20 token with a transferWithAuthorization method) account using the 1Shot Prompts directory.
  4. Click on the webhook trigger node and set the route.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/5389/5389.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
