How do I get started?

Subscribe, enter your API credentials (your secret token from **Layup Dashboard → Developer Settings → API Keys**), and you're ready. No code, no environment files, no endpoints — just connect and start managing your orders through your AI agent.

Can my AI agent check the remaining balance on an active order?

Yes! Provide the Order target ID to the agent. It utilizes the `get_order` tool returning exact metrics on money received vs pending values. It aggregates everything in conversational format so you don't jump windows.

What happens when I need to create a manual dynamic lay-by in chat?

Just specify the item price, customer token, and configuration. The AI agent executes a `create_order` action connecting via the payload and creates proper links. The shopper gets billed correctly, saving you minutes of UI clicking.

Can I query an exact list of all historically recorded buyers/customers?

Absolutely. Ask the agent to list all stored customers. It compiles email arrays, reference ID trackers, phone tags — perfect for store leads and analysts evaluating buyer records without exporting flat files.
