Autessa Payments has an AI guide that sets things up with you, agent tools that invoice and refund, and a CLI and scripting surface for every payments task.
Features
What is in AI, agents and developers?
The Payments guide explains setup and tax and prepares actions you confirm; agents can invoice, refund and check payouts; every task is in the CLI and AutessaScript. Each feature has its own page with how it works, every option, who can do what and FAQs.
The Payments guide (AI)
The Autessa Payments guide is an AI assistant that walks you through setup, explains and estimates sales tax, and prepares invoices and settings that change nothing until you click Do it.
Read more →Payment tools for agents
Autessa agents can use Payments tools to create and email invoices, look up customers, refund paid invoices and check payout status, and agents never charge a card directly.
Read more →CLI and scripting
Autessa Payments has a full CLI and scripting surface: invoices, customers, templates, recurring invoices, plans, subscriptions, tax and branding, with risky actions kept in the web app.

How Autessa Payments handles AI, agents and developers
The Payments guide (AI) →
- Starts with suggestions: Walk me through setup, What sales tax do I need to charge?, Create my first invoice.
- Does on its own: check your setup, look up where you collect tax, explain tax rules, estimate tax on an amount, and show you where on the page.
- Prepares with a Do it card: save business details, set your tax category, add a tax location, create a draft invoice, send a draft invoice.
Payment tools for agents →
- Create Invoice takes a customer email or ID, a single amount or line items, an optional due date and memo, and sendNow (false saves a draft).
- It is idempotent per tool invocation, so a retried turn can’t create the invoice twice.
- It returns the invoice number, status, subtotal, tax, total, pay URL and due date, or a plain reason it was refused.
CLI and scripting →
- One flat list of commands, such as list-invoices, create-invoice, send-invoice, preview-invoice, get-tax-summary and send-subscription-link.
- Money is in cents, dates are yyyy-MM-dd, and long payloads go in a JSON file with --json @file.json.
- Update commands replace every field; read first with the matching get- command (update-branding keeps fields you leave out).
FAQ
Questions about AI, agents and developers
Can the guide send an invoice without me?
No. Creating a draft and sending it each need you to click Do it.
Can an agent charge my customer’s card?
No. Charge Customer returns NOT_SUPPORTED. Agents create invoices, and customers pay from the secure link.
Can I send invoices from the command line?
Yes. Create a draft with create-invoice and send it with send-invoice once your business is verified.
