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

说明与用途

构建了 Stripe 支付链接 API，使 AI 代理能够在不处理卡信息的情况下请求付款，使用 Webhook 验证和元数据跟踪支付状态。

问题

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

结果

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

工作流

• 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

证据

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

来源

The agent must never touch card data.

来源

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

来源

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

来源

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