Charting the future of payments
Agentic commerce is an entirely new type of sales channel—one where algorithms evaluate your products, initiate transactions, and return as customers. Learn about the production challenges in making catalogs legible to agents, embedding customer context into agent-mediated flows, and re-architecting fraud and pricing models for autonomous buyers. You’ll see concrete patterns from teams already shipping with Stripe—and the trade-offs they’ve experienced.
Charting the future of payments
Join Soha Hohnecker, global head of sales and marketing at Amazon Agentic Payments, and Kalyani Koppisetti, Principal Partner Solution Architect at AWS, for a look at how agentic commerce is reshaping payments. As agents begin purchasing on behalf of consumers, the infrastructure around them needs to catch up—from new authorization models and agent authentication to merchant APIs and fraud detection. This session covers what needs to change and what merchants and payments leaders should be building toward now.
Designing adaptive revenue models
Learn what it takes to build finance systems at scale and automate your revenue operations—including tax, compliance, accounting, and data—and why it’s worth it. See the implementation choices that matter and the ongoing benefits in day-to-day operations.
Charting the future of payments
Stripe is building the financial rails for agents, but rails need guardrails. Most agents today are still authenticated with static API keys and shared credentials built for humans. As agents begin to transact autonomously on behalf of users, the identity layer needs to keep pace. In this session, Clerk CEO Colin Sidoti explores what agent-native authentication looks like: how delegated identity and scoped permissions need to evolve, so agents can act securely without inheriting human credential models.
Reaching global markets with stablecoins and crypto
Cross-border payments and banking often require trade-offs: speed or cost, reach or reliability. Learn how fintech companies are combining Stripe’s fiat infrastructure with the speed and efficiency of stablecoins to reach users in more markets, move money faster across borders, and optimize yield and foreign exchange, often powering these gains with their own custom stablecoin.
Charting the future of payments
Biometric identity is moving commerce from authentication to recognition—enabling faster checkout, stronger security, and more personalized experiences. In this session, Verifone explores how identity-based experiences are reshaping checkout, and what it takes to support them at scale—from enrollment to device-level security to consent, governance, and regulatory considerations such as age verification.
Charting the future of payments
Most agentic commerce discussions start at checkout. But the structural shift begins earlier, in how agents discover products, evaluate options, and act on behalf of consumers. In this session, Klarna will examine what full-journey agentic commerce requires, from structured discovery data and payment credentials to returns and refunds. Explore emerging architectural and commercial questions as agents move from checkout tool to end-to-end buyer.
Advancing developer craft
This session covers the most common security pitfalls when building Stripe integrations—exposed keys, misconfigured webhooks, authentication gaps—and how to design with a secure-by-default approach using Stripe’s latest primitives.
Charting the future of payments
As agents move from discovery to decision‑making and execution, trust becomes the foundation of agent‑driven commerce. In this fireside conversation, Mastercard explores how financial ecosystems can enable secure, scalable agent payments without sacrificing choice, transparency, or control.
See how trust is established when a consumer delegates purchasing authority to an agent and get a clearer understanding of the trust infrastructure required for agentic commerce.
Optimizing the economics of risk
For SaaS platforms, risk management is often thought of as a brake on growth. It doesn’t have to be. Learn how a new approach to risk can help you onboard users faster, enter markets with confidence, and automate decisions. Explore how to match friction to actual risk, tier access based on risk signals, and build systems that scale without scaling your exposure.
Charting the future of payments
Businesses across the Stripe ecosystem are using buy now, pay later (BNPL) payment methods to increase conversion, unify online and in-store checkout, and expand globally with flexible financing. In this session, Affirm shares what’s working and why, drawing on examples from Stripe. You’ll also see how agents are changing the way purchase decisions happen, and why real-time, transaction-based financing is becoming central to the future of checkout.
Advancing developer craft
Many developers now start an integration with an AI editor, not a docs page. When there’s an agent between you and the API, everything changes: how products are discovered, behavior is verified, and trust is enforced. Learn how Stripe is making products legible to agents, building deterministic tools so agent actions are predictable and auditable, and designing auth and safety patterns that keep humans in control.
Reaching global markets with stablecoins and crypto
Whether your users are in Lagos or Los Angeles, digital wallets enable you to offer a full financial experience directly inside your product—balances, yield, payouts, cards. And it’s all powered by open rails and stablecoin infrastructure that don’t require users to know a thing about crypto. Learn how to integrate these capabilities to expand product value, create new revenue streams, and grow your addressable market globally.
Charting the future of payments
AI is already reshaping how companies operate, but the bigger shifts are macroeconomic—changes to labor markets, financial systems, and how entire industries are structured. Stripe’s Ernie Tedeschi hosts a conversation with leading economists on what the transformation looks like and what it means for the businesses building through it.
Advancing developer craft
Scripts and Workflows let you build inside Stripe, not just on top of it. See how to program custom logic—from discount models to event-driven automations—with live demos and debugging strategies. Learn when to reach for each tool, when to code, when to configure, and how to extend Stripe’s capabilities.
Designing adaptive revenue models
AI compute costs can complicate seat-based pricing. This session covers how SaaS companies are moving to hybrid models—when to charge per seat, based on usage, or both—and the operational trade-offs that come with each. Plus, hear lessons from OpenRouter’s own AI pricing story.
Growing platform economies
A payment flow that’s costing more than it should. An authorization rate that could be higher. A feature that’s been sitting unused. Businesses on Stripe that work with their technical account managers (TAMs) often find optimizations hiding in plain sight. Hear from a panel of users and a TAM about fixes that made measurable differences—and how they found them.
Growing platform economies
