Stripe announced an upgrade to Link, its digital wallet, enabling autonomous AI agents to make payments on behalf of users. The system uses Stripe's Issuing for Agents to generate virtual cards or Shared Payment Tokens (SPT), ensuring agents never access raw payment credentials. Users authorize agents via OAuth and approve specific transactions through mobile or web notifications, though Stripe plans to add autonomous spending limits in the future. The wallet supports traditional payment methods now, with support for agentic tokens and stablecoins planned for later.
