Stripe payment rail for AI agents
Stripe is the active execution rail for Agent Commerce payments. It handles fiat currency transactions denominated in USD and EUR.
How Stripe works in Agent Commerce
Policy evaluation
Before any Stripe charge is initiated, the authorization engine evaluates 6 rules: rail allowlist, currency allowlist, merchant allowlist, amount ceiling, purpose tag, and human review threshold.
Charge execution
On authorization, the transaction is dispatched to Stripe. The transaction record is created and status tracked.
Receipt issuance
On success or submission, a payment_receipt.v1 artifact is created, hashed with SHA-256 over the RFC 8785 canonical payload, and signed with Ed25519.
Verification
Any third party can independently verify the Stripe-backed receipt using the public verification endpoint — no Stripe API access required.
