The flow
- Collect the phone number in chat, then POST /v2/checkouts with paynow-mobile.
- Poll GET /v2/checkouts/<reference>/status until collected, or use a webhook.
- Unlock the user's features and store the reference for support.
- Agents can do all of it through POST /mcp — wavepay_checkout and wavepay_checkout_status.
