How It Works

Three steps. Then you're done.

We designed this for agents, not developers. No documentation to read. No API keys to rotate. Just ask.

1

Install the skill once

Works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Goose, and any MCP-compatible tool.

openclaw skill install payments-ai
2

Ask in plain English

No docs. No API keys to manage. No configuration files.

"Add a $29/mo Pro plan with 14-day trial and send me the checkout link."
3

Money moves. Forever.

Checkout links, subscriptions, invoices — live in seconds. Whop absorbs chargebacks, tax, fraud, and banking. Your only job is cashing out.

Global from day one.

Comparison

Why not just use Stripe?

Stripe is great for humans. It's not designed for agents. Here's the difference when your AI is the developer.

Born Agent-Native

We didn't add AI to payments.
We built payments for AI.

Stripe was built in 2010 for human developers building human-facing checkout flows. It's excellent at that. In 2024 they added an MCP server on top. That's retrofitting.

PAI was built in 2026 starting from a different question: What would payments look like if AI agents were the primary user from day one? Every design decision flows from that.

MCP-native tool schema — not a wrapper
Every tool has clear input/output types designed for agent consumption. Stripe MCP is a convenience layer. Ours is the architecture.
next_steps[] in every response
Every API response tells the agent exactly what to do next. Agents self-guide without docs. Stripe MCP doesn't have this.
Magic escalation links
When an agent hits a wall requiring human action, we generate a pre-authenticated one-tap URL. The agent keeps running. No dashboard login.
