Stripe Checkout, from any conversation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we hear most.
Can I test before taking real payments?
Yes. Use an sk_test_ key, make a test payment, then replace it with your sk_live_ key.
Who sends the payment link?
The Send Payment Request node in your flows, or sector apps such as the hotel, garage and school assistants once a payment system is connected. You set the amount and currency and the link goes out in the chat.
What happens once the customer pays?
MonoChat records the payment and the New Payment Received event continues your flow: a confirmation goes out, the profile is updated or the team is told.
