So far, machine payments have mostly been about businesses accepting stablecoins. And stablecoins are great (cross-border, low cost, etc.)! But much of the planet is holding a card. 🤖 💳 🌎 Here’s a 📺 sneak peek demo from Steve Kaliski of how a business can programmatically accept cards via agents. As an example: Stripe Climate is a way to contribute to carbon removal funding. Stripe Climate implemented the Machine Payments Protocol using the Stripe API, so agents can make micropayment donations ( In addition to accepting stablecoin (specifically usdc on Tempo), agents can now pay with fiat methods, namely cards and Link (and soon buy-now-pay-laters) via Shared Payment Tokens (SPTs), using the same Machine Payments Protocol integration. Human buyers, their agents, and businesses each have their own preferred methods of payment. Humans often already have a card. Agents may prefer stablecoins. Businesses tend to want to accept any form of payment, as long as it is high conversion, low fraud, and properly priced. For microtransactions, stablecoins are a low-cost way (no fixed card fee) to transact. But if you want to tell your agent to donate $100 on your behalf, a card may be the preferred solution. If you’re a business and want to accept machine payments, whether over stablecoins, cards, Link, or other future methods, read about Shared Payment Tokens ( and sign up for our machine payments private preview: And stay tuned: more to make it easy for consumers, agents, and businesses to transact, shipping over the next few weeks. (And excuse the acronyms and specifics terms, there's a lot of new infrastructure and primitives being built to support agentic commerce.)

@levelsio on the recent change in European entrepreneurial policy mindset. (I happen to be in Europe at the moment—visiting France, Norway, Sweden, Finland—and in chats with local founders, they each have a bevy of omg-level stories of government policies holding back startups.)

While still early, Stripe MCP installs are already up 3.5x and usage is up 2x since launching our OAuth-enabled server with Anthropic Claude—rather than that thing where you authenticate via API key. (I've always wondered the uplift of not manually fumbling with API keys.)

Now, businesses can accept machine payments via our regular ol' Stripe PaymentIntents API. Charge agents for their API usage, MCP calls, or HTTP requests with agent-specific pricing plans, alongside your conventional subscriptions and invoices. Here's a demo from Steve Kaliski:

1/ Autonomous invoicing You’re a contractor, it’s end of month, and you've got to do your invoices. What a mess! Not any more. Weave together two agents (File Search + Stripe Invoices) to sift through spreadsheets, figure out who to bill, for what, and how much. Et voilà!

2/ Always on email support Customer: “Hi, update my card” “Hi, change my plan” "Hi, add seats" “Hi, need receipt” Agents: read emails → infer customer need → research company policy → decide action → verify plan or human-in-the-loop → control Stripe → reply back, kindly
