In the Sessions keynote, we talked about how agents are becoming active participants in the internet economy, and how we’re building the infrastructure to support them.Agents have become increasingly capable in recent months, but making purchases across the internet remains difficult. While machine payments protocols are still gaining adoption, agents need to work with the payment options sellers and consumers use today.Today we’re launching Link’s wallet for agents, built on top of Stripe’s new Issuing for agents. You can now give agents programmatic access to Link and the ability to get a one-time-use card or a Shared Payment Token (SPT), backed by the cards and bank accounts already in your wallet. The agent never gets access to your raw payment credentials. You can review and approve each spend request from the agent on the web, or in Link’s new iOS and Android apps. This makes it easy for consumers to enable personal AI agents such as OpenClaw to make an authorized purchase on their behalf.If you’re a developer or business building consumer-facing agents, such as personal assistants, Link’s wallet for agents removes the need to build wallet infrastructure from scratch. Link handles the abstraction across payment options your agent might need—like cards and SPTs (with stablecoins and other payment methods coming soon). It also takes care of fund flow complexity and helps you reach Link’s customer base of more than 200 million consumers.How Link’s wallet for agents worksImagine you are building a shopping agent that recommends apparel to your consumers. First, the consumer grants your agent access to their Link wallet via a standard OAuth flow.
