What the Agent Handles

Payment Support Queries the AI Agent Resolves

🔍

Payment Status Queries

"Where is my transfer?" — The agent looks up the transaction ID in your payment gateway and core banking in real time. Gives the customer the actual status (processing, credited, returned) with timestamp — not a scripted "allow 3-5 business days."

Failed Payment Resolution

Diagnoses why the payment failed (wrong IFSC, beneficiary account closed, insufficient funds, bank server timeout), explains the reason in plain language, and guides the customer to retry correctly or initiates a refund within its authorised scope.

↩️

Refund Status & Initiation

Looks up refund status against your payment gateway. For eligible cases, initiates the refund within the authorised amount and initiator limits. Provides RBI-mandated refund timelines (T+2 for UPI, T+5 for cards). Escalates to human for exceptions.

📱

UPI Dispute Management

Handles UPI-specific issues: pending transactions at beneficiary bank, auto-reversal status, UPI dispute initiation via NPCI framework. Checks transaction state (deducted / not credited / in transit) and gives the customer the correct resolution path.

🔄

Reconciliation Queries (B2B)

For business customers: reconciles payment against invoice reference, identifies unmatched credits, explains settlement delays, and provides MIS on bulk payment batches. Integrates with Tally, Zoho Books, or custom ERP for real-time reconciliation data.

🔔

Mandate & Auto-debit Queries

Handles NACH mandate questions: mandate status, debit date, amount, cancellation requests. For failed auto-debits: explains failure reason, offers retry, manages customer communication within RBI mandate framework guidelines.

With full context handoff
1
Customer Contact via WhatsApp, Chat, or Voice Omnichannel
Customer sends a payment query in natural language — "My EMI was deducted twice" or "UPI se ₹5000 gaya, account mein nahi aaya." Agent authenticates customer via OTP or last-4 digits of account, then proceeds.
2
Intent + Transaction Identification NLP
Classifies the query type (status / failed / refund / dispute / reconciliation / mandate). Extracts the transaction reference, amount, and date from the customer message — or asks for them if not provided.
3
Live Transaction Lookup Real-time API
Calls your payment gateway API (Razorpay / PayU / Juspay / CBS) to get the actual transaction state, failure code, and timeline. For UPI, checks NPCI dispute status if relevant. This is real data — not a scripted response.
4
Resolution or Authorised Action Scope-limited
If the resolution is within the agent's authorised scope (refund under ₹X, retry initiation, NPCI dispute filing), the agent acts. All actions are logged. Hard limits enforced at infrastructure level — not in the LLM prompt.
5
Escalation with Full Context Smart handoff
For complex cases (fraud suspected, system error, exception outside scope), the agent escalates to a human agent with the full conversation, transaction data, and its diagnosis already assembled. The human reviews and acts — zero repeat questioning.

FAQ

Common Questions

What does a payment support AI agent do?

It handles inbound payment queries: payment status checks, failed payment diagnosis and retry, refund status and initiation, UPI dispute filing, reconciliation queries for B2B customers, and mandate/NACH queries. It connects to your live payment gateway and core banking to give real answers — not scripted responses.

How is this different from an IVR?

An IVR routes calls. This agent resolves them. It reads live transaction data from your payment gateway, diagnoses the issue, and acts within its authorised scope — initiating refunds, filing NPCI disputes, confirming reconciliation — without transferring to a human agent for 55–70% of queries.

Can it handle UPI dispute resolution?

Yes — it checks UPI transaction state (deducted at payer / credited at payee / in transit), provides the RBI-mandated resolution timeline, and initiates the dispute workflow via NPCI's dispute management API. Complex fraud cases are escalated to human agents with full context.

What payment systems does it integrate with?

Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, Paytm PG, CCAvenue, BillDesk, Stripe India, Juspay, Setu for UPI orchestration. Core banking: Finacle, Temenos, custom CBS via API. Reconciliation: Tally, Zoho Books, Oracle Financials. Additional integrations scoped during discovery.
