You can also accept native payments from @muse via @link. If you have an API and run your payments on @stripe, Muse can send you a Shared Payment Token (SPT) which you can pipe in directly to your existing Stripe Payment Intent integration. To learn more about SPT acceptance check out our docs:

hi to the weekend agent-builder crowd: want your agent to safely pay, on behalf of your human users, across checkout pages web-wide? 🤖💸 stripe @link has a cli for agents. 1/ your human user auths their link account 2/ when an agent wants to spend money, it generates a “spend request” back to the human 3/ the human can approves the spend with 2FA via faceid, sms, etc (coming soon: flexible pre-approved budgets!) 4/ agent can use a safe, permissioned, non-pci scoped virtual card or payment token to form fill the checkout, or pay via @mpp link has over 300M consumers so chances are there’s no payment method onboarding even step required. just auth once, then approve and spend. get started immediately => (you should be able to one-shot integrate the link cli. our team is ready to help hands on in a dedicated slack room as well.) happy and safe agentic payments!

👋 To: people building a dev, vibe code, or nerd-y saas platform: Want your agents to provision accounts at great software providers like Supabase, OpenRouter, and Cloudflare, via code? (No browser!) Email for early access to @stripe Provisioning API. jweinstein@stripe.com

You can earn 1% of your balance as a Stripe credit to offset your fees. We just did the payout for July and one business accumulated over $3.5K in credits 💸🪙 This is in private preview in the US. Send me an email at mn@stripe.com if you're interested in early access!

Exa is now live on the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), the open standard from @tempo and @stripe. Agents shouldn't need accounts or API keys to search the web! With MPP, agents can pay per request with USDC.e on Tempo.

More businesses can now accept stablecoin payments from agents with MPP and x402. Available in: United States 🇺🇸 · France 🇫🇷 · Germany 🇩🇪 · Spain 🇪🇸 · Italy 🇮🇹 · Netherlands 🇳🇱 · Belgium 🇧🇪 · Ireland 🇮🇪 · Sweden 🇸🇪 · Poland 🇵🇱 · Denmark 🇩🇰 · Romania 🇷🇴 · Portugal 🇵🇹 · Austria 🇦🇹 · Finland 🇫🇮 · Czech Republic 🇨🇿 · Hungary 🇭🇺 · Greece 🇬🇷 · Lithuania 🇱🇹 · Bulgaria 🇧🇬 · Croatia 🇭🇷 · Slovenia 🇸🇮 · Estonia 🇪🇪 · Latvia 🇱🇻 · Cyprus 🇨🇾 · Luxembourg 🇱🇺 · Malta 🇲🇹

We’ve rolled out improvements to @stripe Directory to make it easier to find the best companies to help you and your agent: 1. Available to all businesses, builders, and agents. Stripe-powered or not. You (or your agent) can install the Stripe CLI and immediately run `stripe directory search` to find the right solution. No Stripe account login required. 2. Instant business listings: When you make your Stripe profile public, there’s no longer a 24 hour lag to appear in search results. Builders and agents will be able to find you immediately. 3. MCP listings: Stripe profiles that support MCP will now have their endpoints included in search results. Filter results by MCP only via --mcp-supported too! And to help agents find agent-ready businesses easier, we’ve given results with MCP or MPP endpoints a small boost in the results rankings. What would you like to see next in Stripe Directory? Let us know in the replies. A few ideas we’re considering: * Business health metrics factoring into results * Curated lists by third parties * Offering physical goods in the results and buying them via agentic commerce If any of those interest you, my DMs are open or email us at directory@stripe.com!

Today we're launching Intercept: a $500M philanthropic initiative to make respiratory infections, like the common cold and flu, a thing of the past. We treat respiratory infections as a minor nuisance, but that’s really not the case. Most of us will spend 5% of our lives (!) sick from these viruses, they kill 1M people a year, cost $600B annually in productivity, and periodically threaten civilization through pandemics. So, if they’re such a big problem, why haven’t we dealt with them yet? Last year we convened ~40 leading scientists, pharma R&D leaders, biotech investors, and regulatory experts to better understand that. We heard two main reasons: (1) First, it’s just technically very challenging: respiratory viruses represent hundreds of distinct, mutating strains across several families. Fortunately, recent breakthroughs make this newly possible. (2) Second is a lack of funding: broad-spectrum solutions have historically been underfunded, in part because they’re not a great fit for most philanthropic or commercial funding (and while COVID generated a burst of activity around preventing and understanding respiratory infections through an influx of new funding, that hasn't been sustained). We think that with enough focus and funding, this might be solvable. Intercept is a $500 million philanthropic initiative that will take advantage of new tools to catalyze the development and deployment of two types of products: broad-spectrum preventatives and air cleaning technologies. This problem is undoubtedly difficult. But it’s more tractable now than it’s ever been. We think we should give it our best shot. We’re enormously grateful to our anchor funders: @stripe, @AnthropicAI, @TheFluLab, @FoundationOAI and individuals from Jane Street. And, I’m very excited to be building this with @incredutility and the rest of the team.

The Hermes Agent Accelerated Business Hackathon presented by @NVIDIAAI × @stripe × @NousResearch starts now, for builders making agents that can earn, spend, and run real operations at any scale. Our NVIDIA integrations let your team run agents safely through NemoClaw, quickly on Nemotron 3 Ultra, and intelligently with access to their extensive agent skills. The new Stripe Skills for Hermes let your agent buy what it needs, provision its own SaaS, and pay for the services it uses. We want to see what kind of business tooling you can build on top of this foundation, whether it’s a fully automated company or a framework to accelerate enterprise functions. Prizes: 1st — $10,000 cash + NVIDIA DGX Spark + $5,000 Stripe Credits 2nd — $5,000 cash + NVIDIA DGX Spark + $3,000 Stripe Credits 3rd — $2,500 cash + NVIDIA DGX Spark + $1,000 Stripe Credits To enter: 1) Tweet a 1-3 minute demo video tagging @NousResearch with a short writeup 2) Drop the link in the submissions channel: 3) Fill out the submission form: Judged by Nous Research, NVIDIA, and Stripe on usefulness, viability, and presentation. Submissions due EOD Tuesday, June 30.

Big day for x402 🥳. @awscloud WAF now lets content owners monetize AI bot traffic directly at the network edge. That means publishers and content platforms can: - classify AI agents - set per-request pricing - return HTTP 402 payment required - collect stablecoin payments - serve content automatically once paid x402 turns AI traffic from an infrastructure cost into a programmable revenue stream.

In partnership with @stripe, Hermes Agent now supports a full suite of Stripe skills. Your agent can buy things, pay per-call APIs, and provision its own SaaS, with configurable safety limits on every action.
