and as I sat down to consider the zero-trust relationships in my life, I wondered… when will I stop thinking about web3 and start focussing on web me?

have you claimed your @stripe profile yet?

If you use Stripe you might want to go claim your company profile and @-handle! I guess they're trying to build the de facto directory for agent payments.

Spent the last few months obsessing over one question: what if the Stripe could think? Not a chatbot. A @stripe-native agent that runs the business with you. We've been sprinting at it since. Today we're sharing Stripe Console. Sign up for the waitlist here: docs.stripe.com/dashboard/co…

Stripe obsesses over API design. For Stripe Sessions we turned our well-worn API design principles into an app that reviews your API for $2. We liked it so much we’re making it public for 30 days. api-reviews-by-stripe.vercel…

Totally uncalled for. What I have is a *table tennis* problem.

I'm very excited that we now have results from an almost two-year randomized controlled trial that we ran across thousands of businesses on Stripe: those that accepted a loan from @Stripe Capital grew annual revenue around 27% faster. (Two years isn't that long in the scheme of things, but it is when you're waiting for the results of an experiment you're interested in.) We had two kinds of controls: businesses to whom we offered loans but didn't accept them, and a holdout group of businesses to whom we randomly did not offer loans but which were otherwise identical to those to which we did. As such, we feel confident in the causal nature of this conclusion. While this might not sound like news ("capital increases growth"), I think the finding is a good reminder that many businesses are still quite capital-starved (this effect is on top of all of the other sources of capital that businesses have access to), and it is consistent with what we hear directly from businesses in surveys. Beyond Stripe, inefficient capital allocation at economy-wide scale is likely a major bottleneck to growth around the world. We have an ambitious roadmap planned and we're very much looking forward to expanding worldwide access to growth capital.

More networking features are coming to Stripe 🤖🌐 Agentic commerce works when businesses can talk to each other.

Stripe is partnering with @Instacart to enable direct checkout in ChatGPT. This new AI commerce experience is powered by the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) that we launched with @OpenAI a few months ago.
