How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

1

Connect

Connect your Paystack account via API key. The agent securely accesses transaction data, customer payment profiles, refund history, and settlement reports in real-time.

2

Ask

Ask questions like 'Which customers have the highest chargeback rates?' or 'Show me average transaction value by payment method for Q1' or 'How many recurring subscriptions failed last billing cycle?'

3

Act

The agent initiates refunds for specific transactions, updates customer payment metadata, triggers retry attempts for failed payments, exports settlement reconciliation reports, and flags suspicious transaction patterns for review.

AI Agent Access

Your agent doesn't just read Paystack — it predicts payment failures

Read

Reads transaction records, payment success/failure rates, customer payment methods, refund and chargeback data, settlement timelines, subscription billing status, transaction fees, and revenue by currency or region.

Write

Writes refund requests, updates transaction metadata and custom fields, triggers payment retry logic, modifies subscription billing schedules, exports financial reconciliation reports, and creates customer payment tags.

Monitor

Monitors payment success rate thresholds, high-value transaction failures, unusual chargeback spikes, settlement delays, recurring payment decline patterns, and cross-border transaction anomalies.

AI agents query transaction details, success rates, and refund data to answer questions like "Why did payment failures spike last Tuesday?" They can analyze transaction patterns across payment processors, calculate true processing costs including fees, and monitor real-time revenue flows for finance teams.
