# How to Connect Payments Inside Chatfuel

No. Chatfuel does not offer built-in payment gateway integrations.

## Does Chatfuel support direct payment methods? [#does-chatfuel-support-direct-payment-methods]

No. Chatfuel does not offer built-in payment gateway integrations. You cannot connect Stripe, PayPal, or any other payment processor directly to the platform.

## How to verify payments using receipt images [#how-to-verify-payments-using-receipt-images]

Even without a direct integration, your chatbot can still handle payment verification through receipt analysis. Here is how it works:

1. Your [Fuely AI](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/what-is-fuely-ai) asks the customer to make a payment using your preferred method (bank transfer, mobile payment, etc.).
2. The customer sends a photo or screenshot of the payment receipt inside the chat.
3. The AI analyzes the receipt image to confirm the payment was made.
4. Once verified, the conversation moves forward — for example, confirming an order or booking.

## Set it up in the Knowledge Base [#set-it-up-in-the-knowledge-base]

1. Add your accepted payment methods, bank details, and payment instructions to your [Knowledge Base](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/how-to-set-up-knowledge-base) so the AI can share them with customers.
2. Describe the payment verification flow in **Additional instructions** on your [automation](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/automations) (use **Main bot** to apply it everywhere): tell the AI what payment method customers should use, what a valid receipt looks like, and what to do after verification succeeds or fails.

## Or ask the AI Co-Worker [#or-ask-the-ai-co-worker]

Tell the [AI Co-Worker](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/what-the-ai-co-worker-can-do-for-you) what you want in chat:

*"Set up my AI to send my payment details and verify the receipts customers send."*

It updates your payment instructions and how-to-pay info for you and confirms what it set.

> **Note:** The AI shares your payment info with customers and checks the receipts they send — it can't process charges.

## Tips [#tips]

* The AI can process both photos taken of physical receipts and screenshots of digital payment confirmations.
* If the receipt is unclear or cannot be verified, the AI can ask the customer to resend or escalate the conversation to your team.
