Create Afterpay Checkouts from Chat

This toolset lets you start an Afterpay checkout session for a customer. Just tell your Claude agent the order details. It calls `create_checkout` and gives you back the session token you need to complete the transaction. You don't need to open another app or run a script. Your agent gets the required token, and you can pass it right to your point-of-sale or e-commerce backend. It respects all your account's configured payment limits automatically.

Manage Payments and Refunds in Claude

Get the full financial story for any Afterpay order. Ask your agent to pull the history for a specific order ID with `get_payment_details`, and you'll get back its status, settlement info, and logs. You can also fetch a list of all historical transactions with `list_payments`. When a customer needs a refund, you can handle it right in the chat. Tell Claude to issue a full or partial refund using `refund_payment`. Your agent confirms the action, and the credit is sent to the customer. This MCP Server makes customer support tasks much faster.

Check Order Limits On The Fly

Before you try to create a new payment, you can quickly check your account's rules. This tool exposes your Afterpay merchant account's minimum and maximum transaction limits. Just ask your agent to run `get_afterpay_config`. This is a simple but critical check. It prevents failed transactions by making sure the order total is within your accepted range. You get an instant answer without having to log into your Afterpay merchant dashboard.

Common questions about Afterpay MCP in Claude Desktop

Just ask your agent in plain English, like "Start an Afterpay checkout for $95.50." Claude uses the `create_checkout` tool to generate a payment session token for you to use.

Yes, you can. Tell your agent something like, "Refund $20 on Afterpay order ID 12345." It will use the `refund_payment` tool to process the credit immediately.

Ask your agent to list recent payments. It uses the `list_payments` tool to pull a secure history of transactions and authorizations directly from your Afterpay account.

It works with both, but the setup is different. For the desktop app, you can run the server locally for higher performance. For the web version on claude.ai, you connect to the remote server URL.

Yes, your data is protected. The server only handles transaction metadata like order IDs, amounts, and status—never raw customer financial details. Vinkius manages the secure connection, so your Afterpay credentials are never exposed.
