There’s been a lot of good conversation this week about agentic commerce. @link is now working with almost 400 agents, and I (👋 Dan here, product on Link) wanted to share a few more details about our approach: 1. Link is optimizing for the best experience for consumers, agents, and businesses: consumers want both convenience and guardrails, agents want to buy from any business with high conversion, and businesses want to understand how to best serve their customers that are using an agent. 2. That’s why Link supports a broad range of payment options: virtual cards (which were a pragmatic way to get started), Stripe native options (for checking out on a Stripe or Link enabled business more efficiently), a balance, and, yes, agentic tokens from Visa, Mastercard, and Amex. Across the many payment types, our goal is to automatically optimize for the best payment choice for each transaction given the consumer, the merchant, the country, etc. 3. Stripe has been building agentic tokens for almost a year with the networks: we were a launch partner, and agentic tokens have been live in the Link agent wallet for the last month, shortly after the Muse launch. We’re working closely with our network partners to improve the experience of using card tokens and grow their usage. 4. Outside the US, cards are less ubiquitous and there’s 100+ other popular ways to pay: Link is already available in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Singapore and we have dozens more geos coming this year. We’re working to add non-card payment methods to power agentic commerce worldwide. More to come here. This space is still very, very early! Thanks to all the early Link users who’ve been first adopters of agentic commerce and given us product ideas and feedback (keep them coming!). We read all of it and improve the product multiple times per day. It’s an exciting time to build (if you want to work on these problems fft dm me).

Been great working with your team on this!

Building an agent? Use @eve from @vercel and add @link in 5 lines of code. Now agent can transact anywhere on the internet.

Agent spend, approved ✅

~All your favorite personal agents are using @link. Take a read of some of the (many many) updates we've been making recently: purchase protections, incremental auth, and financial insights for better shopping recommendations. Lots more coming very soon. Love to hear what you think we should build next?

Amazing to watch @stevekaliski talking about @link on @MTSlive. Link Agent Wallet - secure, scoped, payment credentials that allow agents (including Muse, Instinct and Grok Bot) to buy from anywhere on the internet.
