Perplexity

Full transaction control in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your dashboard and chat. You can use `capture_transaction` or `void_transaction` to handle pending payments the second you spot an issue. Everything stays within your conversation flow. You check statuses using `get_transaction` and keep your books clean without manual entry.

Customer data access for Claude Desktop users

Look up specific users instantly when support tickets hit your desk. The `get_customer` tool pulls exact profiles, while `search_customers` helps you find the right account when you only have a partial name. This keeps your research grounded in reality. You spend less time hunting for IDs and more time addressing the actual request.

Process refunds via Claude Desktop

Handle partial or full returns without opening a browser tab. Just call `refund_transaction` with the specific amount and ID to settle a dispute immediately. It removes the friction of secondary interfaces. You maintain control over your revenue lifecycle inside your primary workspace.
