In-Chat Payments with Stripe
Overview
Velaro's in-chat payment feature lets agents or bots send a Stripe Checkout link directly in the conversation. The customer clicks, pays, and the transaction is confirmed — all without leaving the chat window.
Requirements
- A Stripe account connected to Velaro
- In-Chat Payments add-on (contact your account manager)
Connecting Stripe
- Go to Integrations → Stripe.
- Click Connect with Stripe and complete the Stripe OAuth flow.
- Your Stripe products and prices are now available in Velaro.
Sending a Payment Request
From an agent: In any conversation, click the Payment icon, enter an amount and description (or select a Stripe product), and click Send. The customer receives a secure payment link in the chat.
From a bot: Add a Request Payment node to a workflow. The bot sends the link automatically at the right moment in the conversation flow (e.g. after confirming an order).
Apple Pay & Google Pay
The Stripe Checkout link supports Apple Pay and Google Pay automatically on compatible devices. iPhone customers on Safari see Apple Pay as the default payment method — no card entry required.
Transaction Log
All payment requests and their status (pending, paid, expired) are visible in Reports → Payments and in the individual conversation timeline.
