Before you connect
Questions about Layup.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Layup MCP help me track customer payments?
Yes, it connects directly to your Layup account to show every payment linked to an order.
How does Layup MCP handle new lay-by orders?
Your agent can initialize new orders on the fly, so you don't have to do it manually in the portal.
Can I use Layup MCP to check customer balances?
Absolutely. It pulls real-time data so you can tell customers exactly what they owe in seconds.
Does Layup MCP work for my e-commerce store?
It is designed specifically for businesses using the Layup checkout gateway for installment-based sales.
Can I cancel orders using the Layup MCP?
Yes, your agent can void existing orders directly to keep your records accurate.
What happens when I use Layup MCP with my AI agent?
Your agent becomes an expert in your checkout data, able to read, create, and audit your lay-by records.
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 capability 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.
