AI Agent with Stored Credentials

Another model of Agentic payments for eCommerce

AI Agents using stored credentials you approve. This is like having an assistant who asks for approval before paying. The agent uses securely stored card information, pre-populating details for a smoother experience. While offering a better user experience, it still gets stuck on the payment screen.

Google, take note: Chrome should be doing this already!

High-Level Overview of the Future of AI at the Checkout

AI is revolutionising the checkout experience, making it almost obsolete. Here are four models of agentic payments that are changing how we transact. From AI agents performing checkouts with human input to those with their own stablecoin wallets, the future of payments is agent-centric, more programmable and less visible to the end-user. Is your business ready for the shift?

There are four agentic payment models:

  • Model 1: Human-in-the-Loop. The AI agent assists with online tasks but requires manual card information entry at the checkout page.
  • Model 2: Stored Credentials. The AI agent uses pre-populated card details that are securely stored, needing user approval before payment.
  • Model 3: Virtual Card. The AI agent is given a virtual card with a budget and spending controls to make autonomous payments.
  • Model 4: Stablecoin Wallet. The AI agent has its own wallet with cryptocurrency to conduct transactions independently, enabling seamless payments.

  • Faster settlements: Settlement times with stablecoins are usually faster, improving cash flow for businesses.
  • Cross-border simplicity: Stablecoins streamline cross-border transactions, making it easier for businesses to operate across African markets.

Benefits for eCommerce Merchants:
