Get Stripe balance is a WordPress ability from WooCommerce Stripe Gateway — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Get Stripe balance
Read-onlyCheck the merchant's current Stripe balance across available, pending, and reserved amounts.
Requires the WooCommerce Stripe Gateway plugin active on WordPress 6.9+ with WooCommerce 10.9 or later, since every ability registers through WooCommerce Core's AbilitiesLoader. Abilities are also gated behind the 'wc_stripe_abilities_enabled' filter, which defaults to off, and the current user needs the 'manage_woocommerce' capability.
What it does
This is a zero-argument ability that returns the merchant's current Stripe balance overview by calling Stripe's balance API. It reports available, pending, instant_available, and connect_reserved amounts broken down per currency, giving an AI assistant an instant snapshot of how much money is sitting in the Stripe account versus still clearing.
