Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Maven to add payment processing capabilities to voice AI agents without handling sensitive card data yourself. It provides a secure API that lets callers pay by speaking their card numbers or using their keypad during phone conversations. Maven handles PCI compliance, supports multiple payment gateways like Stripe and Braintree, and automatically transfers callers back to your agent after payment completion. The service includes custom voice options, multi-language support, and real-time status updates via webhooks.
