A Slack-powered payments framework for Agentforce, powered by Google A2A (Agent2Agent) and AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol). Built natively on the Salesforce stack — Slack, Agentforce, Salesforce Core & Heroku.
The goto framework for Agentforce-powered payments
PaygentForce is a Slack-powered Payments framework for Agentforce, powered by Google A2A (Agent2Agent) and AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) — created by Saurabh Kumar & Ankur Sharma for the Dreamforce 2025 hackathon. It’s a solution built natively on Salesforce stack — leverages Slack, Agentforce, Salesforce Core & Heroku.
The true power of Agentforce can be leveraged in a multi-agent scenario — Google launched A2A (Agent to Agent protocol) earlier this year and they launched AP2 (Agent Payment Protocol) on 17th September. We studied AP2 and A2A deeply in the last few days to come up with PaygentForce so it can serve as the goto framework for Agentforce powered payments which can be triggered by Slack. A simple scenario — an invoice is due for collection and you want Agentforce to collect it — it could be from a payment agent such as Stripe, Chargent, Adyen — let PaygentForce handle that for you.
We strongly believe that this is the first ever Agentforce integration with AP2 anywhere globally and it could be the baseline framework for building any sort of payment solutions on Agentforce. AP2 uses the concept of mandates — tamper-proof, cryptographically-signed digital contracts that serve as verifiable proof of a user's instructions and we've demonstrated how our solution Paygentforce supports mandates. The possibilities of Paygentforce are truly exciting.
Commerce
Automated agents monitor prices and availability and execute a secure purchase the moment a specific variant is found.
Financial Services
Automated agents process payments via mandates, eliminating human intervention — and many more possibilities.

How PaygentForce Works
From Slack trigger to secure payment execution — a three-step journey across Agentforce, A2A, and AP2.
Initiate via Slack
Trigger a payment request from Slack — accessible to every team member.
Agentforce Orchestrates
Agentforce routes the request via A2A to the right payment agent.
AP2 Executes Payment
AP2 mandates ensure tamper-proof, verifiable payment execution.
100% native to Salesforce
PaygentForce is built on Slack, Agentforce, Salesforce Core and Heroku. It achieves standardisation and flexibility by following the latest AI Agent standards defined by Google and adopted by Salesforce.
Slack
Trigger payments for any transaction.
Agentforce
Salesforce AI engine for automated payments.
A2A
Agentforce to Payment Agent communication.
AP2
Triggering payments in an A2A scenario.
Heroku
Middleware for data and actions.
Webhooks
Real-time data transfer between systems.
PaygentForce automates the end-to-end payment journey across your finance stack.
Why We Built PaygentForce for DF'25 Hackathon?
The AI Agent space is evolving rapidly and there is a need to define a robust framework on how Agentforce should do payments when interacting with other agents.
Since it's triggered via Slack — which is accessible to all — and the architecture is based on open standards which are well adopted (A2A & AP2), we believe there is huge potential to expand PaygentForce to serve as the baseline semantic layer for Salesforce Payments on Agentforce.
The Road Ahead!
For now, we anxiously await the fate of PaygentForce in the Dreamforce hackathon — but in the longer run, we're hoping to expand this project to build accelerators.
