Stripe Expands AI Commerce Push With 288 Launches and Google Deal

Stripe is pushing deeper into AI commerce with 288 new products and features covering agent payments, fraud controls, stablecoin micropayments and business banking tools.

The announcements were made at Stripe Sessions, the company’s annual customer conference.

Google Partnership Expands AI Commerce

Stripe is partnering Google to allow businesses to sell to consumers inside AI Mode and the Gemini app.

The partnership adds Google support to Stripe’s Agentic Commerce Suite, which lets businesses sell inside AI applications through a single integration.

The suite is already being used by businesses including Kate Spade, Best Buy and Coach. Stripe said Quince, Fanatics and JD Sports are coming soon.

Stripe has also announced similar partnerships with OpenAI, Microsoft and Meta, and is bringing the suite to platforms such as Wix, BigCommerce and WooCommerce.

The company also launched Link wallets for agents, allowing users to authorise AI agents to make payments on their behalf.

Stripe said real payment details will not be exposed, with a one-time-use card issued for each task and user approval required for each payment.

Stripe Targets Token Billing and AI Fraud

Stripe also introduced streaming payments for AI businesses that need to charge for token usage in real time.

The feature combines usage tracking from Metronome with stablecoin micropayments on the Tempo blockchain. Stripe said it allows businesses to collect payment for each token as it is used.

Stripe has also expanded Radar to cover token theft and free trial abuse.

The company reported that one in six attempted sign-ups across AI services running on Stripe is made by a bad actor, while free trial abuse has more than doubled in the past six months.

For eight AI businesses, Radar blocked more than 3.3 million risky sign-ups in the past month.

Treasury Expansion Adds Business Banking Tools

Stripe also introduced a new version of Stripe Treasury, a global business account that allows companies to hold funds in 15 currencies and move money around the clock.

Transfers between US businesses on Stripe will now be free and instant.

Businesses will also be able to operate Treasury through AI services such as ChatGPT, earn rewards on fiat and stablecoin balances, receive 2 percent cashback on card payments, and pay out recipients in 100 countries using fiat and 160 countries using stablecoins.

Stripe and Privy also launched digital asset accounts, giving fintech companies a single API to build stablecoin-based financial products.

Ramp, Deel and DoorDash are among the companies building on the product.

Stripe Projects, which allows developers and AI agents to sign up for, buy and integrate services needed to deploy products, is now available to all users.

Stripe also added 14 new partners to Projects, including Render, Twilio, Sentry, WorkOS, Browserbase, GitLab and ElevenLabs, bringing the total number of providers to 32.

“AI is the biggest platform shift for the economy since the internet, and in the not-too-distant future agents will account for most transactions online. The enterprises and startups behind this wave are overwhelmingly building on Stripe.

No matter what sector you’re in, the AI transformation requires new economic infrastructure, primitives, and abstractions. That’s the animating theme behind the 288 products and features we announced today,”

said Patrick Collison, CEO and cofounder of Stripe.
