Rye is now an approved agent in Stripe's Agentic Commerce Suite. A merchant on the Suite connects to Rye, and its catalog becomes transactable across every app built on Rye's APIs — no new integration for developers, no agent for the merchant to build. Discovery stays with the app. Rye completes the order. rye.com/blog/stripe-agentic-…

Trust is the gate for agentic commerce — and one of the biggest blockers sits after the purchase: if an agent buys for me, can I send it back, and will the refund come? Today, that's programmatic. Introducing the Returns API. A return is one call. Rye files it with the merchant, hands the shopper a prepaid label when one's needed, and tracks the refund through to settlement. Poll one endpoint for a typed status, a timeline, and the exact refund total. No merchant integration. No label generation. No reconciliation. Shopify whole-order returns first. Partial returns, webhooks, and more platforms next. rye.com/blog/returns-api-age…

Introducing Chat tab: Make purchases immediately by talking to an AI agent in Allowance Chat. You can always still connect via CLI or MCP if you want to connect @useallowance to Codex, OpenClaw or your favorite desktop agent. Skip the fric, use Allowance. apps.apple.com/us/app/allowa…

never been easier to ship a credit card rewards or corporate gifting platform

Every rewards program is now a commerce product. Today we're shipping Rye for Rewards — a source-available React component library that keeps the entire redemption flow inside the rewards app. Catalog, PDP, payment, points slider, order tracking. Themed by the partner, installed in days. One API. 1M products across thousands of merchants. rye.com/blog/native-catalog-…

One of the first real AI-native use cases I can actually confirm now is Agentic Payments. AI agents are now paying for APIs, compute, inference, MCP servers, datasets, wallets, even coordinating with other agents without humans in the loop. x402 has already processed ~165M agent txs and ~$50M in flow since launch. Still tiny compared to global payments, but @coinbase keeps pushing to turn USDC Base into the default money layer for machines. HTTP itself becoming a payment rail sounds kinda insane when you think about it. Agents can now: request endpoint → receive 402 payment request → send USDC → access resource instantly I know the narrative is getting big since Google, Stripe, AWS, Visa, and Mastercard are entering from their own lanes. > @Google launched AP2 with Coinbase and the @ethereumfndn to standardize agent payments across crypto banking rails. > @googlecloud partnered with @solana to launch Pay.sh where AI agents can pay for cloud infrastructure per-call using stablecoins. > @stripe launched MPP where agents open payment sessions first, then batch settle later through @tempo. > @Visa and @Mastercard already joined the x402 Foundation. > @awscloud entered through AgentCore @privy_io wallet infra. > @Cloudflare leaning hard into agent hosting x402 infra, positioning itself as middleware for AI-to-AI commerce. The race just started. Some projects building underneath this stack worth tracking: - @virtuals_io pushing onchain agent identity commerce rails through ERC-8004 and ERC-8183. - @HeyElsaAI pushing x402 rails agent reputation execution proofs. - @HallidayHQ focused on guardrails, permissions, and autonomous wallet safety. - @rye building checkout execution rails on top of Pay.sh so agents can actually complete real purchases across 15k merchants end-to-end. - @RyvoNetwork building autonomous payment identity rails for AI agents with wallet orchestration, delegated execution, and machine-to-machine coordination Understanding this flow could bring massive edge in the agentic era imo.

Every agent purchase is an attribution question. Who gets paid when the agent closes? $13B affiliate industry runs on signals agents don't generate: cookies, clicks, last-touch. The tracking signal goes dark right when the order goes through. rye.com/blog/agentic-commerc…

Another cool demo here from Echul. snap a picture of a product, have an agent research it via @ExaAILabs, then complete the purchase end-to-end using @rye.

what a unique use of @ExaAILabs and @rye ! super cool

I usually sneak into nice offices in nyc and order everything in their fridge using AI

Merchants are scoping how to participate in agentic commerce. We covered two of the available paths: native UCP implementation, or integration via Rye. Native UCP on the merchant side: 12 build steps spanning discovery, signing, schema authorship, capability implementations, OAuth, and operational discipline. Integrating via Rye: 2 onboarding paths. Commercial agreement Rye Agent allowlist for non-Shopify. Sales Channel install for Shopify. Both support merchant-controlled developer gating. Each path has real tradeoffs. We scoped both — capability by capability. rye.com/blog/how-to-implemen…

Give your terminal a wallet and access to pay-per-use APIs. No accounts. No keys. No subscriptions. Pay.sh is a CLI that works with Gemini, Claude Code, Codex, Openclaw, Hermes, and more. Aents pull from an open marketplace covering @googlecloud and 75 other APIs from @TektonicCompany, @PayAINetwork, @rye, @crossmint, @agentcashdev, @corbits_dev, @moonpay, @paysponge, @atxp_ai, and more. Full tutorial below 👇

Rye's developer guide for the commissioned-merchant catalog is live. 260 directly-connected merchants, one Universal Checkout API, two routing paths — direct for commissioned merchants, agentic for any other URL. Inside: install-flow code, product lookup, webhook handlers with signature validation, use cases for rewards, gifting, employee recognition, and AI agents. rye.com/blog/commissioned-me…

Introducing Pay.sh, in collaboration with @googlecloud For the first time agents can discover, access, and pay-per-request for APIs from Google Cloud including Gemini, BigQuery, Vertex AI, and more using stablecoins on Solana. No accounts, no subscriptions, just machine-native commerce.

If you have a data repository in Google Cloud, Pay.sh lets you expose your own private datasets to AI agents via the x402 protocol, with the facilitator handling payment so your data stays secure. For Enterprises Pay.sh turns private Google Cloud dataset, like BigQuery or Cloud Run apps, into agent-payable APIs using stablecoins on Solana. Read more: solana.com/news/solana-found…

For developers, Pay.sh is a CLI and works in your favorite LLM interfaces including Gemini, Claude Code, Codex, Openclaw, Hermes, and more Agents can browse a unified marketplace of API endpoints from Google Cloud plus 50 community APIs facilitators and endpoint providers like @TektonicCompany, @PayAINetwork, @rye, @crossmint, @agentcashdev, @corbits_dev, @moonpay, @paysponge, and @atxp_ai

Today the @SolanaFndn is launching Pay.sh — AI agents can discover, access, and pay for any API on the internet. Per request. Settled in Solana stablecoins. Rye is a launch partner. Pay.sh handles discovery, identity, and billing. Rye handles checkout execution. Agents find the Universal Checkout API, pay for the call, and complete a real purchase across 15,000 merchants — end-to-end in one workflow. solana.com/news/solana-found…

in the background the agent searches for the product using @ExaAILabs and places an order using @rye x402 server
