How to Use the Zip MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I check an order status using Zip and Claude Code?

You simply run the command for getziporderstatus. It checks the payment state (Authorized, Captured, Cancelled) for a target order ID. The output pipes directly into your script's logic.

Q: Can I automate refund processing with Zip and Claude Code?

Yes. You write a command that executes refundzippayment. This allows you to include financial reconciliation steps in your automated deployment pipeline.

Q: What tools are needed for payment moves using Zip and Claude Code?

Your scripts use authorizeziporder, capturezippayment, and confirmziporder. These commands cover the entire range of necessary actions to move money programmatically.

Q: Does the MCP Server support voiding payments with Zip?

It does. Running voidzippayment allows you to script payment reversal logic when a transaction needs to be undone before capture.

Script Checkout Initialization in Claude Code

You can write a shell script that initializes the checkout session. It uses `create_zip_checkout`, passing required amount, currency, and redirect URLs as environment variables or arguments. This makes your CI/CD pipelines self-contained; they don't need manual steps to start payment processing.

Automate Fund Movement with Zip using the MCP Server

To run a full transaction, script it out. Start by calling `authorize_zip_order` for testing purposes. Then, use `capture_zip_payment` in the next step to complete the funds transfer. This ability lets you test payment flows—including rollback logic using `void_zip_payment`—entirely headless, which is ideal for automated pipeline runs.

Handle Refunds and Status Checks with Zip on Claude Code

Need to verify a transaction in a build? Use `get_zip_order_status` to check the payment status. If required, you can script out cleanup by calling `refund_zip_payment` or `void_zip_payment`. These commands ensure that your backend processes are clean and auditable when running against staging environments.
