@poof check the balance for wallet address 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb and fetch current ETH and USDC prices

Based on the Poof API response, wallet 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb currently holds 2.47 ETH and 1,850 USDC. Current market prices show ETH at $3,421.50 and USDC at $1.00. This represents approximately $9,300 in total wallet value. Note that this is an illustrative example — actual balances and prices vary by moment and depend on your Poof account's configured blockchain networks.

This example demonstrates Poof's read capabilities for checking wallet balances and fetching live crypto prices. Requires API key with read permissions. Balance checks work across multiple blockchain networks (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, etc.) depending on your Poof configuration. Price data refreshes frequently but may lag during high volatility.

@poof create a payment link for $250 USDC with description 'Q1 Consulting Invoice - Project Alpha' and send it to the client

Payment link created successfully. The shareable URL is https://pay.poof.io/inv_8k3mN9pQr2 and accepts USDC payments on Ethereum and Polygon networks. The link displays 'Q1 Consulting Invoice - Project Alpha' to the payer and remains active until paid or manually expired. In this illustrative example, you would copy this URL into your communication channel — Poof generates the link but doesn't send emails directly. The invoice tracks payment status in real-time via your Poof dashboard.

This showcases Poof's core payment link creation for cryptocurrency invoicing. The MCP generates the link but doesn't handle email delivery — you paste the URL wherever needed (Slack, email, etc.). Requires API key with write permissions. Payment links support multiple tokens and networks based on your Poof merchant settings. Consider setting up webhooks to receive payment notifications automatically.

@poof create a checkout session for $1,200 fiat payment via Stripe, then summarize all payment methods we've set up this month and recommend which to use for recurring SaaS billing

Checkout session created at https://checkout.poof.io/cs_9Xm4kLp8n for $1,200 via Stripe integration. Reviewing this month's payment setup: you've created 3 crypto payment links (averaging $400 each, 2-day settlement), 5 fiat checkout sessions via Stripe ($1,200 average, instant settlement), and 1 PayPal invoice ($850). For recurring SaaS billing, I recommend using Poof's fiat checkout sessions with Stripe — they offer instant settlement, automatic retry logic for failed payments, and better customer familiarity compared to crypto options. Crypto links work well for one-time contractor payments where settlement speed matters less than lower fees.

This example pairs Poof's fiat payment creation with AI reasoning to synthesize payment method recommendations. The AI can analyze patterns across your payment history (crypto vs fiat volumes, settlement times, use cases) and suggest optimal approaches. Requires both read and write API permissions. The recommendation quality improves as the AI sees more of your actual transaction data over time.

When Poof makes sense for subscription billing with crypto

A 6-person B2B SaaS team serving web3 companies wants to accept USDC for monthly subscriptions without building blockchain infrastructure. Poof wins here: the Create Payment Link and Create Poof Webhook tools let you generate invoices and listen for payment confirmations in under 20 lines of code. The Check Balance tool gives your finance lead real-time visibility into wallet holdings during month-end close. The trade-off: if fewer than 30% of your customers actually want to pay in crypto, the API key overhead and the learning curve on blockchain addresses aren't worth it—stick with Stripe. If your customer base is crypto-first and you're tired of manual wallet monitoring, Poof is the fastest path to automated crypto billing.

Poof for cross-border contractor payments in stablecoins

A 3-person marketplace startup pays freelancers in 12 countries and wants to avoid wire fees and multi-day settlement windows. Poof's Create Deposit Address tool generates unique wallet addresses per contractor, and the Fetch Cryptocurrency Price tool lets you lock USD-equivalent payouts at invoice time. The Create Poof Webhook keeps your dashboard in sync when payments land. This works if your contractors are comfortable receiving USDC or USDT—if they need local currency off-ramps, you'll still need a partner like Wise for the last mile. The threshold: if you're paying fewer than 10 contractors per month, the setup cost outweighs the wire-fee savings. Above that, Poof cuts your payout cycle from 3-5 days to under an hour.

When Poof bridges traditional and crypto fundraising

A nonprofit with a 2-person ops team wants to accept both credit cards and crypto donations without managing two separate payment stacks. Poof's Create Fiat Charge and Create Checkout Session tools integrate PayPal and Stripe alongside the crypto payment link tools, so donors see one unified flow. The Create Fiat Invoice tool handles recurring pledges in USD while the Check Balance tool gives your treasurer a single view of both fiat and on-chain balances. The catch: if your donor base skews older or less tech-savvy, the crypto option adds UI complexity for minimal uptake—test with a pilot campaign first. If you're already seeing 15%+ of donors ask about crypto, Poof consolidates your payment ops without doubling your accounting workload.
