Paystack + WhatsApp: Send Payment Links Automatically

The biggest friction in Nigerian e-commerce isn't finding customers it's collecting payment. Bank transfers get abandoned, USSD times out, and customers disappear the moment you ask them to leave WhatsApp.

Paystack's payment links solve this. And with RheoChat, your AI sends them automatically at exactly the right moment in the conversation.

How It Works

1. 1Customer says "I want to order 2 agbada"
2. 2AI identifies the order intent, checks your catalog for pricing
3. 3AI generates a Paystack payment link for the exact amount
4. 4Customer pays directly from WhatsApp no app switching

The entire flow takes under 60 seconds.

Setting Up Paystack in RheoChat

In your RheoChat dashboard:

1. 1Go to Settings → Integrations → Paystack
2. 2Paste your Paystack secret key
3. 3Toggle "Auto-generate payment links" on
4. 4Set your fulfillment webhook (optional for automatic order dispatch on payment)

RheoChat uses Paystack's standard payment link API. Links expire after 24 hours by default (configurable).

Order Confirmation Flow

Once a customer pays:

• ›RheoChat receives the Paystack webhook
• ›A confirmation message is sent automatically on WhatsApp
• ›Order appears in your dashboard with status "paid"
• ›If logistics is configured, dispatch is triggered

This is the full loop from "how much?" to money in your account automated.
