Stripe introduces Link, a digital wallet that autonomous AI agents can use, too

TechCrunch
Stripe has launched Link, a digital wallet allowing users to securely authorize autonomous AI agents to make payments on their behalf.

Summary

Stripe has introduced Link, a versatile digital wallet designed to support both human users and autonomous AI agents. Beyond standard features like payment method management and subscription tracking, Link allows users to integrate AI agents securely. Instead of exposing raw payment credentials, users grant agents permission via OAuth, providing controlled access through virtual cards or Shared Payment Tokens. This system ensures that users can review transaction requests before approval, with plans to introduce automated spending limits and broader support for stablecoins and agentic tokens in the near future.
