Give your agent a way to pay when checkout won’t.
Agentic checkout covers the easy part. Seaworthy covers the rest: the contractor who only takes checks, the deposit read over the phone, the site that blocks bots on principle. Your agent hands off the payment and gets the receipt back.
Payments your agent can hand off.
Deposits, invoices, bills and orders. If the business takes money at all, there’s a way to pay it.
- Mail the $850 check the contractor insists on. Outcome: Mailed. It arrives Thursday.
- Pay the caterer’s $1,200 deposit by phone. Outcome: Paid $1,200. Receipt #LT-2291.
- Finish the order checkout wouldn’t let me place. Outcome: Ordered by phone. Arrives Friday.
- Pay the landscaper’s invoice. Net 15. Outcome: Paid. The invoice is marked settled.
- Put down the holding deposit for the venue. Outcome: Deposit paid. The date is held.
- Pay the parking ticket before the late fee. Outcome: Paid $65. No late fee.
What breaks on a payment.
Money is where the real world gets strict. Each of these is handled before your agent sees a receipt.
“Checks only.”
“We don’t take Amex.”
The 3% card fee nobody mentioned.
Charged twice. Once online, once by phone.
The check cleared. The invoice still says unpaid.
The confirmation went to spam. Your agent said done.

The outcome, as data. Done, or a straight answer and your next options.
Built for handing over money.
Tied to a task.
Every payment belongs to a request your agent made. No standing access.
Capped at your limit.
We never pay more than you set. A higher number comes back as a question.
Receipted, every time.
The amount, the method, the recipient and the confirmation, on your webhook.
A fallback, not a replacement.
Your agent keeps its own rails. Seaworthy takes the payments they can’t reach.
Before you ask
How does pricing work?
A per-task fee on top of the amount paid. Tell us your expected volume and we’ll send pricing. .
Which payments can Seaworthy make?
Deposits, invoices, bills and orders. By phone, by check, or where a site blocks agents at checkout.
Can it pay more than I set?
No. The limit is the limit. Anything above it comes back to your agent as a question.
How do I know what was paid?
Every payment comes back with a receipt: the amount, the method, the recipient and the confirmation.
When is it available?
Payments are in early access. Request access, and we’ll reach out with timing for your use case.
