Sell services through an agent that takes payment and delivers
An agent runs a transaction flow, creates Stripe checkout links, verifies payment before delivering a service, and asks the owner on Telegram to approve refunds or disputes.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The agent follows a fixed lifecycle: explore, propose, transact, deliver, complete. It generates Stripe checkout links for a service and checks that payment went through before delivering. It runs locally with no UI or hosting, serving customers through messaging platforms or a web widget. For refunds or disputes it messages the owner on Telegram and acts on their reply.
- How it went
- The source is a short feature description from the project's author and reports no results, numbers, or customer outcomes. It says the aim is to make this easy for non-technical business owners.
- Worth knowing
- Refunds and disputes wait on the owner's Telegram reply, so someone must be reachable to approve them.
Try it yourself with n8n
Build a workflow that takes a customer request for [service I sell], creates a Stripe checkout link for [price], and waits for payment confirmation before delivering [deliverable]. If a refund or dispute comes in, send me a Telegram message with the details and wait for my approval before acting. Finish with a test run using Stripe test mode, and don't enable live payments until I confirm.
