One command. Then ask for the checkout.
Pick your tool and run one line. You approve once in the browser, with no key to copy, and your agent can build checkouts from that moment on.

Every client ends the same way: the server is registered and waiting for you to approve it.
Add to CursorOpens Cursor with the server pre-filled. Approve it in Settings → MCP.
The login step opens the browser to sign in or sign up. Check it with /mcp.
The login step opens the browser. Codex keeps the token in its own credential store.
Run /mcp list inside Gemini CLI to confirm the server is connected.
Then open the Copilot chat Agent picker and approve the OAuth prompt.
For anything not listed. The agent works out its own install path.
Approve once in the browser
Your client opens the dashboard. Sign in, approve the scopes, and the tools appear in the chat. There is no User MCP Key to copy.
Ask for what you want to sell
No API reference, no tax research. Describe the plan and the agent calls create_product, then hands back the hosted checkout URL.

You're the merchant of record.
That's the expensive part.
With a raw gateway, every tax filing and VAT registration is yours. With Payments AI, they aren't.
| Feature | S LEGACY GATEWAY e.g. Stripe, Braintree | Payments AI Merchant of Record |
|---|---|---|
| Integration Speed | Legacy gateway — not included: Weeks of API docs, webhooks & manual wiring | Payments AI — included: One MCP command — your AI agent builds it |
| Global Tax & VAT | Legacy gateway — not included: You research, calculate & remit manually | Payments AI — included: Calculated and collected at checkout. Collected and remitted for you across the US, EU, and UK. |
| Legal Liability | Legacy gateway — not included: You are the Merchant of Record — every risk is yours | Payments AI — included: A registered merchant of record is the seller of record, not you. Tax registration, filing, and remittance are not yours. |
| Fraud & Chargebacks | Legacy gateway — not included: You absorb disputes and chargeback costs | Payments AI — included: We file the dispute response with the card networks. The $15 dispute fee and the chargeback amount are still passed through to you. |
Your Brand, Our Technology. Zero Code.
You don't need to be a developer to create a professional payment system. Use our intuitive design tool to match your checkout experience to your brand identity. See every change instantly as you make it. You choose the colors and fonts—while we, as your Merchant of Record, handle the complex taxes and global security standards for you.
This is a live preview of your checkout. It updates as you change the settings on the left and is a visual demonstration only — it is not interactive.

Buying for yourself or a company?
Wondering if this is for you?
Discover what else we offer. Our tools are built for different business goals, not different budgets. Let's find your match.
You keep shipping.
The tax work isn't yours.
Behind the AI-friendly APIs is full merchant-of-record infrastructure. Every transaction is legally sold by the merchant of record, which registers, files, and remits the transaction taxes.
Automated Global Tax
VAT, GST, and sales tax calculated and collected at checkout. Collected and remitted for you across the US, EU, and UK. Your agent doesn't need to know any of it exists.
Chargeback handling, run for you
The merchant of record files chargeback and fraud responses with the card networks. You may be asked for evidence on the underlying sale, and dispute fees and chargebacks are debited from your balance.
Plug-and-play Subscriptions
Recurring billing, dunning, proration, and upgrade flows, ready from day one. No extra code, no extra lawyers.
Auditor-Ready Reporting
Reconciled net payouts and compliance-ready records, filed under the merchant of record. No manual bookkeeping, no year-end scramble.
One connection. Global payments handled
Point your coding agent at the hosted MCP server. It creates the merchant, the product, and the plan, and hands back a hosted checkout link. Sales tax and VAT are calculated and collected at checkout, so there is no compliance research to do.
- Hosted server: nothing to install, no package to keep updated
- OAuth in the browser, no key to copy
- Sandbox first: test checkouts need no identity verification
- Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and more

The questions developers
ask before going live.
claude mcp add --transport http payments-ai https://managed.payments.ai/api/mcp and then claude mcp login payments-ai, and approve the sign-in in your browser; there is no package to install and no key to copy. Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Grok, and ChatGPT connect to the same URL. Your agent then calls tools such as get_my_merchant, create_merchant_account, create_product, list_products, update_checkout_customization, and go_live. You describe what you need in natural language (e.g. "add a checkout for my $49/month Pro plan"), and the agent creates the merchant and the product, then hands back a hosted checkout URL with tax collection handled by the merchant of record. If you prefer not to use code, the checkout builder in the dashboard lets you set your checkout colors, fonts, and logo.Running a marketplace or SaaS platform?
