What it does

During a call the agent can take a payment: a deposit for an appointment, a booking fee, an overdue invoice. It names the amount and what it is for, and once the caller agrees it creates a one-time Payment Link in your own Stripe account and texts it to the caller’s number. The caller pays on their phone (BLIK, Przelewy24, card, whatever the account has switched on), and the agent asks Stripe with check_payment_status whether the payment came through, confirming it while still on the line. The link allows a single completed payment, so a double tap does not mean two charges.

​
Setup

  1. In Stripe: Developers → API keys, create a restricted key with write access to Payment Links, Products and Prices and read access to Checkout Sessions. A secret key (sk_) works too; a publishable key (pk_) does not, and the connection test says so.
  2. Integrations → Stripe: paste the key, optionally the currency (default PLN) and the business name shown in the SMS. Test connection reads the account and checks it can take payments.
  3. In Stripe Settings → Payment methods switch on BLIK and Przelewy24 so Polish callers pay in their banking app instead of typing a card.
  4. Agent editor → Integrations → Payment link during the call: pick the connection and write when the agent may ask for a payment, e.g. “50 PLN deposit when booking a first visit; overdue invoices for the amount the caller states”.
The SMS goes out from the agent’s number, so the agent needs an assigned number that sends SMS (plfon and Telnyx numbers do). Without one the tool returns an error and the agent says it cannot send the link.

​
What the caller sees

An SMS like Studio Fit: Deposit for 15 Oct - 50,00 PLN. Pay here: https://buy.stripe.com/.... The link opens Stripe’s checkout page with the account’s payment methods and a confirmation after paying.

​
What you see

  • Integrations → Deliveries lists every link: amount, description, number, link URL and whether the SMS went out. The URL finds the payment in the Stripe dashboard.
  • In Stripe the link carries metadata brosbots_run (the call id) and phone.

​
Agent tools

The amount is in currency units (49.90); “49,90” and “50 zł” are understood too. A non-numeric or zero amount is refused before anything is sent to Stripe.
