Add x402 paid quote and withdrawal guide by ahhda · Pull Request #666 · cowprotocol/docs

ahhda · 2026-10-07T15:56:36Z

Description

Add public documentation for buying CoW Protocol quotes through prepaid x402 payments and withdrawing unused funds. The quickstart explains the SDK flow with a short excerpt; a separate guide contains the complete runnable examples, recovery advice and withdrawal steps.

Changes

Show the SDK setup and paid request in 16 lines on the quickstart, with a clearly labelled link to the complete example.
Keep downloadable terms-preview, quote and withdrawal scripts. The quote script retains spending limits, receiver checks, SDK receipt validation, saved channel state and signed attempts for recovery.
Explain that example defaults are client limits; current payment terms come from the service.
Link from the integration and API pages, and use the production API reference for protocol details.
Exclude generated build output from site type checking; validate the standalone payment examples separately against SDK 2.26.0.

Validation

yarn build and yarn typecheck pass, including strict site link and anchor checks.
Quote and withdrawal examples compile against SDK 2.26.0.
19 local checks cover default limits, overrides, invalid input and rejected payment terms. No payments were signed or sent.
Checked the rendered quickstart and expanded complete example, followed the cross-page link, and verified all three downloads match their source files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation
- Added a guide to prepaid x402 payments for CoW Protocol quote requests without an API key, covering payment terms, deposits, quote requests, and withdrawals.
- Added runnable examples to inspect payment requirements, request a quote, and check or manage withdrawals. The guides also explain recovery steps for uncertain payment outcomes and how to preserve recovery files.
- Updated the integration overview and API guidance to include x402 as an option for scripts and agents.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds x402 integration guidance and Node.js examples for inspecting payment terms, requesting paid quotes with saved recovery state, and checking or withdrawing unused channel funds.

Changes: x402 integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Integration overview and terms preview `docs/cow-protocol/integrate/README.mdx`, `docs/cow-protocol/integrate/api.mdx`, `docs/cow-protocol/integrate/x402.mdx`, `static/code-examples/x402/inspect.mjs`	Lists x402 as an integration option, links to its guide, and describes prepaid quotes and a read-only terms preview. The inspection script checks the payment challenge and displays the selected Base USDC terms.
Paid quote setup and request `docs/cow-protocol/integrate/x402.mdx`, `docs/cow-protocol/integrate/x402-recovery.mdx`, `static/code-examples/x402/quote.mts`, `package.json`, `tsconfig.json`	Documents client limits, quote requests, saved state, and recovery. The example validates payment requirements, saves signed attempts and channel configuration, submits a paid quote request, and reports the receipt and quote.
Channel withdrawal workflow `docs/cow-protocol/integrate/x402.mdx`, `docs/cow-protocol/integrate/x402-recovery.mdx`, `static/code-examples/x402/withdraw.mts`	Documents channel status checks, withdrawal initiation, and finalization. The script reads channel state and submits eligible withdrawal transactions.

This example can be a little bit initimidating on the front page of the docs - do we need all this code for x402 quote to work?

Agreed, the front-page example was doing too much. The SDK handles the challenge, signing, paid retry and receipt validation; most of the extra code checks client limits and preserves state for recovery and withdrawals.

Updated in 0fd042b: the quickstart now shows a clearly labelled 16-line SDK setup/request excerpt, with the full runnable examples and detailed recovery/withdrawal steps on a separate linked page. The downloadable script keeps its existing spending limits, receiver checks and saved state.

The site build, type checking, standalone example compilation and 19 local payment-policy checks pass. No payments were signed or sent.

+:::info Keep the original attempt
+
+If a request times out or returns a settlement error, keep the state, signed attempt and transaction hash. A charge or deposit may have succeeded even without a quote response. Do not repeatedly rerun it or create another deposit; check the original transaction and use the SDK’s validated recovery. Each new successful request can incur another charge.


🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add an actionable procedure for an uncertain payment.

If the paid request times out, this section tells the reader to use “the SDK’s validated recovery” but does not show how to inspect or reconcile the saved attempt. The withdrawal steps also require the reader to resolve uncertain payments first. Add the specific SDK call or a step-by-step procedure, including how to determine whether the original payment was charged before sending another request. (x402.cow.fi)
