SP3ND — Autonomous Amazon/eBay Shopping with USDC on Solana

SP3ND lets an AI agent buy real products from Amazon and eBay using USDC on Solana. No KYC, no accounts, 0% platform fee, free Prime shipping on eligible Amazon items.

Full API docs: https://sp3nd.shop/partner-api/docs SKILL.md: https://sp3nd.shop/skill.md Base URL: https://us-central1-sp3nddotshop-prod.cloudfunctions.net

Prerequisites

• Solana wallet with USDC balance (mint: EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v)
• solders and solana Python packages (pip install solders solana)
• SP3ND API credentials in .env (obtained via Step 1 below)

Step 1: Register Agent (one-time)

Self-registration — no approval queue. Credentials are shown once; save immediately.

import urllib.request, json

BASE_URL = "https://us-central1-sp3nddotshop-prod.cloudfunctions.net"
wallet_pubkey = "<your Solana wallet pubkey>"

payload = json.dumps({
    "agent_name": "My Agent",
    "solana_public_key": wallet_pubkey,
    "contact_email": "you@example.com",
    "description": "Autonomous shopping agent"
}).encode()

req = urllib.request.Request(
    f"{BASE_URL}/registerAgent",
    data=payload,
    headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    method="POST"
)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=15) as r:
    d = json.loads(r.read())
    print(d["api_key"], d["api_secret"])  # save both to .env

Save to .env:

SP3ND_API_KEY=sp3nd_...
SP3ND_API_SECRET=sp3nd_sec_...

Step 2: Pick the Correct Amazon/eBay TLD

Critical: Use the marketplace TLD that matches the shipping country. Wrong TLD = failed order or wrong pricing.

Amazon TLD by Region

eBay TLD by Region

Step 3: Create Cart

API_KEY    = os.environ["SP3ND_API_KEY"]
API_SECRET = os.environ["SP3ND_API_SECRET"]
HEADERS    = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "X-API-Key": API_KEY, "X-API-Secret": API_SECRET}

payload = json.dumps({
    "items": [{"product_url": "https://www.amazon.sg/dp/ASIN", "quantity": 1}]
}).encode()

req = urllib.request.Request(f"{BASE_URL}/createPartnerCart", data=payload, headers=HEADERS, method="POST")
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=20) as r:
    cart = json.loads(r.read())
    cart_id = cart["cart"]["cart_id"]
    total   = cart["cart"]["total_amount"]  # in USD = USDC amount needed

Step 4: Create Order

payload = json.dumps({
    "cart_id": cart_id,
    "customer_email": "you@example.com",   # required
    "shipping_address": {
        "name":          "Full Name",
        "address_line1": "Street address",
        "address_line2": "Unit/suburb",    # optional
        "city":          "City",
        "state":         "State/province",
        "zip":           "Postal code",
        "country":       "ISO 2-letter code (e.g. MY, US, GB)",
        "phone":         "+1234567890"
    }
}).encode()

req = urllib.request.Request(f"{BASE_URL}/createPartnerOrder", data=payload, headers=HEADERS, method="POST")
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=20) as r:
    order = json.loads(r.read())
    order_id     = order["order"]["order_id"]
    order_number = order["order"]["order_number"]
    total_amount = order["order"]["total_amount"]

Step 5: Build & Sign the Payment Transaction

This is the tricky part. SP3ND uses x402 v2 protocol. When you call payAgentOrder it returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements. You must:

1. Find the treasury's actual USDC token account (ATA) on-chain — do NOT derive it, fetch it
2. Build a transaction with two instructions: USDC transferChecked + a Memo with SP3ND Order: <order_number>
3. The Memo is mandatory — without it SP3ND's webhook cannot match the payment to your order
4. Sign and broadcast directly via Solana RPC

def get_treasury_ata():

    payload = json.dumps({

        "method": "getTokenAccountsByOwner",
        "params": [TREASURY, {"mint": USDC_MINT}, {"encoding": "jsonParsed"}]

    req = urllib.request.Request(RPC_URL, data=payload, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=10) as r:
        d = json.loads(r.read())
        return d["result"]["value"][0]["pubkey"]

def build_unsigned_tx(wallet_pubkey, our_ata, treasury_ata, amount_usdc_units, order_number):
    """Build unsigned tx: transferChecked + memo. amount_usdc_units = USDC * 1_000_000."""
    client = Client(RPC_URL)
    bh = client.get_latest_blockhash().value.blockhash

    wallet_pk  = Pubkey.from_string(wallet_pubkey)
    src        = Pubkey.from_string(our_ata)
    dst        = Pubkey.from_string(treasury_ata)
    mint       = Pubkey.from_string(USDC_MINT)
    token_prog = Pubkey.from_string(TOKEN_PROG)
    memo_prog  = Pubkey.from_string(MEMO_PROG)

    # Instruction 1: transferChecked (discriminator=12, u64 amount, u8 decimals=6)
    ix_transfer = Instruction(
        program_id=token_prog,
        accounts=[
            AccountMeta(pubkey=src,       is_signer=False, is_writable=True),
            AccountMeta(pubkey=mint,      is_signer=False, is_writable=False),
            AccountMeta(pubkey=dst,       is_signer=False, is_writable=True),
            AccountMeta(pubkey=wallet_pk, is_signer=True,  is_writable=False),
        ],
        data=bytes([12]) + struct.pack("<Q", amount_usdc_units) + bytes([6])
    )

    # Instruction 2: Memo — required for SP3ND webhook to match payment to order
    ix_memo = Instruction(
        program_id=memo_prog,
        accounts=[AccountMeta(pubkey=wallet_pk, is_signer=True, is_writable=False)],
        data=f"SP3ND Order: {order_number}".encode("utf-8")
    )

    msg = Message.new_with_blockhash([ix_transfer, ix_memo], wallet_pk, Hash.from_string(str(bh)))
    tx  = Transaction.new_unsigned(msg)
    return base64.b64encode(bytes(tx)).decode()

Sign and broadcast (Starchild Privy wallet)

Starchild agents have a built-in Privy-managed Solana wallet. Use these two tools in sequence:

Step 1 — Get the wallet address:

wallet_info()  →  returns solana address (e.g. C4ffoATXA5j3UdyvP4UQ3vMuQ547G18bG2QqhSs5bDvb)

Step 2 — Check USDC balance before building:

wallet_sol_balance()  →  lists all SPL tokens including USDC

Step 3 — Sign the unsigned tx:

wallet_sol_sign_transaction(transaction=unsigned_b64)
→ returns { signed_transaction: "<base64>" }

Step 4 — Broadcast via Solana RPC directly:

⚠️ Do NOT use wallet_sol_transfer — it only handles native SOL, not SPL tokens. For USDC transfers you must broadcast the signed tx yourself via the Solana RPC.

signed_b64 = "<signed_transaction from tool above>"

payload = json.dumps({
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1,
    "method": "sendTransaction",
    "params": [signed_b64, {"encoding": "base64", "preflightCommitment": "confirmed"}]
}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request(RPC_URL, data=payload, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=30) as r:
    d = json.loads(r.read())
    tx_sig = d["result"]  # transaction signature
    print(f"https://solscan.io/tx/{tx_sig}")

Finding your USDC token account (our_ata):

# Fetch your own USDC ATA on-chain — same pattern as treasury ATA lookup
payload = json.dumps({
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1,
    "method": "getTokenAccountsByOwner",
    "params": [wallet_pubkey, {"mint": USDC_MINT}, {"encoding": "jsonParsed"}]
}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request(RPC_URL, data=payload, headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})
with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=10) as r:
    d = json.loads(r.read())
    our_ata = d["result"]["value"][0]["pubkey"]
    balance = d["result"]["value"][0]["account"]["data"]["parsed"]["info"]["tokenAmount"]["uiAmount"]

Step 6: Confirm Order Paid

Poll getPartnerOrders every ~5 seconds. SP3ND's Helius webhook detects the USDC + memo on-chain and marks the order Paid — typically within 60 seconds.

import time

for _ in range(24):  # up to ~2 minutes
    req = urllib.request.Request(f"{BASE_URL}/getPartnerOrders", headers=HEADERS)
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=15) as r:
        orders = json.loads(r.read())["orders"]
    order = next((o for o in orders if o["order_number"] == order_number), None)
    if order and order["status"] == "Paid":
        print("Order paid:", order["order_number"])
        break
    time.sleep(5)

Common Pitfalls

Fee Structure

• Platform fee: 0% by default
• Payment: USDC on Solana (6 decimals, multiply USD amount by 1,000,000)
• Amazon: free Prime shipping on eligible items
• eBay: per-item shipping set by seller
