Manage payment links directly in Claude

Your agent handles the busywork of creating payment requests. You just tell it how much to charge and who the customer is. It calls `create_payment_link` to generate a live, clickable URL you can text or email to your buyer right away. Mistakes happen, so fixing them needs to be fast. If a client disputes a charge or changes their mind, you can have the agent run `refund_transaction` to process a full or partial return. You can also kill pending requests using `cancel_payment_link` before anyone gets charged.

Build recurring billing cycles with this MCP Server

Setting up subscriptions usually means clicking through five different dashboard screens. Now you just ask your AI client to handle it. It uses `create_subscription_plan` to set up automated, periodic charges for your regular customers. Checking on those payments is just as easy. You can ask for a quick status check, and the agent grabs the exact state of any charge using `get_transaction_status`. No more guessing if a card actually cleared.

Track cash balances and hardware inventory

Keeping tabs on your money doesn't require logging into a separate portal. Ask your agent for today's numbers, and it pulls your pending cash via `get_balance_summary`. If you need historical data, it runs `get_settlement_reports` to show exactly what cleared your bank. Managing physical store operations works the same way. You can check which physical POS devices are active with `list_terminals`. Updating store inventory takes seconds when you let the agent run `list_products_catalog` and `add_product_to_catalog` right in the chat window.
