A2A Commerce: Agent Payments & Marketplace

Teach your agent to handle payments, discover services, and establish trust with other agents.

When to Use

• Your agent needs to pay another agent for a service
• Your agent provides a service and needs to charge for it
• Your agent needs to find and compare services in a marketplace
• Your agent needs to verify the identity or reputation of another agent
• Your agent needs to hold funds in escrow until a task is complete

Core Workflows

Pay for a Service

)

# 2. Capture payment (transfer funds)

Hold Funds in Escrow

# Lock funds until work is verified
escrow = await client.create_escrow(
    payer="my-agent", payee="worker-agent", amount=50.0
)

# Release after work is done
await client.release_escrow(escrow["escrow_id"])

# Or cancel if not satisfied
await client.cancel_escrow(escrow["escrow_id"])
