Payment giant Visa has launched a new solution that helps businesses support and accept payments initiated by AI agents.

Intelligent Commerce Connect is part of Visa’s Intelligent Commerce portfolio and is aimed at businesses building AI agents, selling through them or processing those transactions.

Available through a single integration on the Visa Acceptance Platform, the product supports payment initiation, tokenisation, authentication and spend controls.

It also connects with Visa’s Intelligent Commerce APIs and other networks’ APIs, allowing AI agents to pay with both Visa and non-Visa cards.

The product supports payments initiated through several agent protocols, including Trusted Agent Protocol, Machine Payments Protocol, Agentic Commerce Protocol and Universal Commerce Protocol.

It can also help merchants make product catalogues discoverable on AI platforms by surfacing details such as descriptions, specifications and prices.

For service providers processing transactions on behalf of merchants, the product can also support orchestration and PCI compliance.

The setup is designed to work with major token vault providers, allowing agent platforms to connect without relying on a single vendor.

Intelligent Commerce Connect is being piloted with partners including Aldar, AWS, Diddo, Highnote, Mesh, Payabli and Sumvin, with a broader rollout planned later this year.
