Use cases
What teams do with Rootline through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Support
Refund a customer without leaving the chat
When a customer writes in about a wrong charge, pull up the Rootline payment by its ID, check the amount, and issue the refund from the same conversation.
-
Finance
Check a payment before you reconcile
Ask for a Rootline payment by its ID and read back its amount and status, so you know whether it was captured, cancelled, or refunded before you close the books.
-
Operations
Capture authorized payments once orders ship
When the warehouse confirms an order has left, capture the authorized Rootline payment so the customer is charged for what actually shipped.
-
Sales
Create a payment for a custom quote
After agreeing a price on a call, create the Rootline payment for that amount while the customer is still on the line.
-
Support
Cancel a payment the customer no longer wants
If a customer changes their mind before the charge is captured, cancel the pending Rootline payment instead of charging and refunding later.
-
Finance
Refund the returned part of an order
When only some items come back, refund the matching amount against the original Rootline payment and leave the rest of the charge in place.
Try asking
- “Show Rootline payments captured this week over 500.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Rootline to Claude?
Connecting Rootline to Claude takes two steps. First, open Elaichi, choose Rootline, and paste in your Rootline API key; there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude will ask you to sign in to Elaichi, and from then on Rootline payments are available in your conversations.
Does Rootline work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Rootline is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Rootline once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Rootline data?
With Rootline connected, an agent can create a new payment, look up an existing payment by its ID to see its amount and status, cancel a payment that has not been captured, capture an authorized payment, and issue a refund. In practice that means a support agent can ask Claude to find a customer's Rootline payment and refund it, or an operations lead can ask it to capture a payment once an order ships. This connector covers those five actions on Rootline payments and nothing beyond them.
Does connecting Rootline give the AI access to every payment?
An agent working through Elaichi can only do what the Rootline API key it was connected with allows, and Elaichi can narrow that access further but never widen it. If the key can only read payments, the agent can only read payments. Restrictions in Elaichi let you take actions such as refunds or cancellations away from the AI entirely, so Rootline access through Elaichi is always equal to or smaller than what the person who connected it holds.
Can I stop an agent from refunding or cancelling payments in Rootline?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow an agent to look up Rootline payments while blocking refunds, cancellations, or captures. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Rootline connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to Rootline through every client ends at once. If they were using a shared Rootline connection, it keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove Rootline entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other connected client.
