How I built a Stripe payment-link API for AI agents

Описание и применение

Создан API для генерации платежных ссылок Stripe, позволяющий ИИ‑агентам запрашивать оплату без доступа к данным карты, с подтверждением через вебхуки и метаданные для отслеживания.

Задача

AI agents needed a way to request payments without handling card data, but existing frameworks lacked a payment solution.

Результат

Agents can now request payments securely, with human approval and audit trail, while the platform earns fees without holding funds.

Рабочий процесс

• Agent POSTs to API with amount, description, and merchant ID
• API creates Stripe Payment Link and returns URL
• Agent presents URL to human operator
• Human clicks link and pays on Stripe’s hosted checkout
• API or webhook notifies agent of payment outcome

Доказательства

One API call mints a real Stripe payment link. The agent hands the URL to its human operator.

Источник

The agent must never touch card data.

Источник

Stripe signs every webhook with a secret unique to your endpoint.

Источник

Idempotency keys on link creation. Agents retry. Networks flake.

Источник

Metadata, not memory. Put the order context into Stripe's metadata fields on the payment link.
