Integration Examples
x402 Payment Plugin for Semantic Kernel
Create an enterprise-grade x402 payment plugin with proper error handling and logging for Semantic Kernel
using Microsoft.SemanticKernel;
using System.ComponentModel;
public class X402PaymentPlugin
{
[KernelFunction("send_payment")]
[Description("Execute x402 payment with enterprise security")]
public async Task<string> SendPaymentAsync(
[Description("Payment amount")] string amount,
[Description("Recipient address")] string recipient,
[Description("Payment memo")] string memo = "")
{
var client = new X402Client();
var result = await client.SendPaymentAsync(amount, recipient, memo);
return $"Payment {result.TransactionId} completed successfully";
}
}
// Register the plugin
kernel.Plugins.AddFromType<X402PaymentPlugin>("X402Payment");Prerequisites:
.NET 8 SDK
Semantic Kernel package
x402 client library
Enterprise development knowledge
Choosing Your Facilitator
The X402PaymentTool is generic and works with any facilitator that has a compatible client. Here's how you might initialize different clients based on your specific needs:
For Enterprise (CDP)
// Initialize CDP client for enterprise use
See the CDP Facilitator Guide for details.
For Zero Fees (Mogami)
// Initialize Mogami client for zero-fee transactions
See the Mogami Facilitator Guide for details.
For Developer Experience (thirdweb)
// Initialize thirdweb client for developer experience
See the thirdweb Facilitator Guide for details.
