Teaching Agents to Pay: What Devs Need to Know

With AI agents becoming a primary interface for how people discover, evaluate, and purchase products, enabling those products to be paid for directly through agents opens an entirely new commerce channel. The Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP) and Shared Payment Tokens provide a secure framework for agent-driven commerce inside Stripe's ecosystem, without exposing payment data or sacrificing user control. This session walks developers through the complete implementation: setting up Stripe integration, creating permission-based payment tokens, interacting with ACP endpoints, and designing trustworthy user experiences. You'll learn how to enable your agents to transact safely and predictably, handling everything from checkout flows to error scenarios and webhook events.
