Why people use Zip
Zip for Automating BNPL Order Management
With this Connector, you can handle those same tasks directly through your AI agent. Instead of navigating complex menus, you just tell your agent to capture an order or issue a refund, and it handles the API calls for you.
What Vinkius changes
You get a direct way to manage BNPL transactions through your AI client without ever opening the Zip merchant portal.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Zip.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use Zip MCP to manage my merchant account settings?
Yes, you can use the Connector to retrieve your merchant configuration. This lets your agent check your currency limits and other account settings without you needing to log into the portal.
How does Zip MCP handle customer refunds?
The Connector allows your agent to process both full and partial refunds. You just tell your agent which order to refund, and it handles the communication with Zip to get it done.
Can my AI agent create Zip checkouts for my customers?
Yes, your agent can create new checkout sessions. You just need to tell it the amount and currency, and it will provide the redirect URL for your customer.
Does Zip MCP work for international orders?
Yes, it supports authorizing orders across different regional gateways. This makes it suitable for merchants operating in both US and global environments.
Can I void a payment if an order is cancelled?
Yes, you can use the Connector to void payments that have been authorized but not yet captured. This is helpful for canceling orders before they ship.
Is Zip MCP good for high-volume e-commerce?
It is designed specifically for merchants who need to automate the lifecycle of BNPL payments. It helps your team move through orders faster by removing the need for manual dashboard clicks.
What is the difference between Authorize and Confirm in Zip?
Authorize initiates the transaction and checks for customer funds. Confirm (used in some regions) finalizes the checkout intent before capture.
Can I process partial captures via the agent?
Yes, the capture_zip_payment capability accepts an optional JSON body where you can specify a partial amount to capture if only part of the order is shipping.
How do I handle different regions like US and AU?
Specify your account region ('US' or 'AU') in the configuration settings. The Connector automatically routes requests to the correct Zip gateway URL.
