What can you do with Paystack on Tray.ai?
Paystack is an African payments company, owned by Stripe, that lets businesses accept card, bank, and mobile money payments and send payouts. Tray.ai connects to Paystack through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Paystack API alongside the rest of your stack.
- Verify a transaction before your order system releases goods, so nothing ships unpaid.
- Create a customer in Paystack when a new account is added to your CRM.
- Initiate a transfer to a supplier once finance approves their bill in your accounting system.
- Create a refund when your help desk approves a customer's refund request.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- A bearer token
- Base URL
- https://api.paystack.co
Set it up
Connect Paystack to Tray.ai
Each step uses Paystack's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Save Paystack's API token
Save the token Paystack issues as a Tray.ai authentication. The HTTP Client sends it as a bearer token on every call. The token stays out of the workflow and out of the logs.
Step 2
Point the HTTP Client at the API
Add an HTTP Client step and use https://api.paystack.co as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Paystack's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “List transactions”
It's one of 24 documented actions, under Transactions. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Hand it to an AI agent
Wrap “Initialize a transaction” and “Verify a transaction” in workflows, and Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP publishes them as governed tools Claude and other AI agents can call.
