Maven
Maven provides a payments layer for Voice AI agents, enabling secure card collection mid-call or in chat without exposing developers to PCI compliance burdens. The platform supports 25 payment gateways or a bring-your-own-endpoint option, and integrates with telephony carriers like Twilio, Telnyx, and Jambonz. Card data never touches the customer's servers, as Maven handles the entire capture and charging flow.

Problem
Voice AI agents can book jobs, qualify leads, and win customers, but hit a wall when payment is required—there's no rail to collect the money. Generic speech-to-text fails on spoken card numbers, PCI compliance exposes the entire stack to audits, and checkout links kill the conversation flow.
Solution
Maven provides a payments API specifically designed for Voice AI agents, handling secure card collection mid-call or in chat. The agent transfers the caller to Maven via a phone number and SIP URI, Maven collects the card (spoken or keyed), validates it in real time, and charges it on the customer's chosen gateway—all without card data ever touching the customer's servers. The caller is then returned to the agent mid-conversation, and a webhook confirms the payment. Maven supports 25 payment gateways including Stripe, Adyen, and J.P. Morgan, or a bring-your-own-endpoint option, and integrates with telephony carriers like Twilio, Telnyx, and Jambonz.
Target Audience
Primary customers are developers and companies building Voice AI agents—including those using platforms like Vapi—who need to accept payments without building PCI-compliant infrastructure or managing multiple processor integrations.
