Nodes

This package provides 2 nodes:

Node Type Description
Orvion Charge Action Create charges, notify customers, wait for payment
Orvion Trigger Trigger Receive webhook events when payments succeed/fail

Orvion Charge Node

Creates a payment charge, sends a checkout email to the customer, and waits for payment completion before resuming your workflow.

How It Works

  1. Your workflow creates a charge
  2. Customer receives checkout email
  3. Workflow pauses (status: "Waiting...")
  4. Customer pays on the checkout page
  5. Workflow resumes automatically with payment data
  6. Use an IF node to route based on is_paid

Input Fields

Field Required Description
Amount Yes Charge amount (e.g., 0.50)
Currency Yes Currency code (default: USDC)
Notify Email Yes Email to send checkout URL to
Flow Slug No Billing flow for x402 config
Customer Ref No Your customer identifier
Resource Ref No Resource being purchased

Output

After payment completes (or times out):

{
  "charge_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "amount": "0.50",
  "currency": "USDC",
  "tx_hash": "5nwz8X3Lgf8dqwV8EKQ2...",
  "payer_address": "0x1234...5678",
  "confirmed_at": "2025-01-08T12:00:00Z",
  "is_paid": true,
  "is_failed": false
}

If payment fails:

{
  "charge_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "status": "failed",
  "failure_reason": "Transaction timed out after 5 minutes",
  "is_paid": false,
  "is_failed": true
}

Key fields:

  • is_paid: true if payment succeeded
  • is_failed: true if payment failed/expired/cancelled
  • failure_reason: Explains why payment failed

Routing with IF Node

The Orvion Charge node has a single output. Use an IF node after to route based on payment status:

[Trigger] → [Orvion Charge] → [IF] → [Success]
                                ↓
                            [Failed]

IF node configuration:

  • Condition: {{ $json.is_paid }} equals true
  • Enable "Convert types where required" toggle (important!)
  • True branch = Success, False branch = Failed

Alternative: Using Switch Node

If you prefer multiple routing paths, use a Switch node instead:

[Trigger] → [Orvion Charge] → [Switch] → [Success (is_paid = true)]
                                      → [Failed (is_failed = true)]
                                      → [Pending (status = pending)]

Switch node configuration:

  • Mode: "Rules"
  • Rule 1: {{ $json.is_paid }} equals true → Success branch
  • Rule 2: {{ $json.is_failed }} equals true → Failed branch
  • Fallback: Default branch for other cases

Troubleshooting IF Node:

If the IF node routes incorrectly despite is_paid: true:

  1. Ensure "Convert types where required" is enabled
  2. Try using expression mode: {{ Boolean($json.is_paid) }} equals true
  3. Or use direct comparison: Expression {{ $json.is_paid === true }}
  4. Check the node output panel to verify the actual data type

Orvion Trigger Node

Automatically receives webhook events when payment status changes.

Events

Event Description
Payment Succeeded Triggered when payment is confirmed on blockchain
Payment Failed Triggered when payment fails
Payment Cancelled Triggered when payment is cancelled

Output

{
  "event": "billing.transaction.succeeded",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-08T12:00:00Z",
  "charge_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "is_paid": true,
  "is_failed": false,
  "status": "succeeded",
  "amount": "0.50",
  "currency": "USDC",
  "tx_hash": "5nwz8X3Lgf8dqwV8EKQ2...",
  "payer_address": "0x1234...5678",
  "customer_ref": "user_123",
  "resource_ref": "article:42"
}

How It Works

  1. When you activate your workflow, the trigger registers its webhook URL with Orvion
  2. When a payment event occurs, Orvion sends the event data to n8n
  3. Your workflow continues with the payment data
  4. When you deactivate the workflow, the webhook endpoint is automatically removed

Example Workflow

Payment Gate Pattern (Recommended)

[Manual Trigger] 
  → [Orvion Charge]
      Amount: 1.00
      Currency: USDC
      Notify Email: customer@example.com
  → [PAUSES - waiting for payment]
  → [RESUMES when customer pays or timeout]
  → [IF: is_paid equals true]
      → TRUE: [Success actions]
      → FALSE: [Handle failure]

Complete Example: Order Processing

[Webhook Trigger: POST /order]
  → [Orvion Charge]
      Amount: {{ $json.total }}
      Currency: USDC
      Customer Ref: {{ $json.customer_id }}
      Resource Ref: order:{{ $json.order_id }}
      Notify Email: {{ $json.customer_email }}
  → [PAUSES - waiting for payment]
  → [RESUMES]
  → [IF: is_paid equals true]
      → TRUE:
          → [Update order status in database]
          → [Send confirmation email]
          → [Trigger fulfillment]
      → FALSE:
          → [Log failed payment]
          → [Send failure notification]
