“I’m excited to share that we’re working with Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover to enable buyers to securely use Shop Pay at any merchant, whether it runs on Shopify or not,” Rohit Mishra, Shopify’s vice president of product, wrote in an X post Wednesday (Oct. 28). “The agent never sees the buyer’s card. Buyers keep rewards, protection and experience that they expect. Together we’re making shopping with an agent secure and fast. Our ambition is simple. Wherever you shop, you should be able to pay with something you trust. Here’s how that works in agents.”

The announcement was flagged in a report by The Information, which noted that this move runs counter to the way Stripe tends to deal with agentic shopping and credit cards.

That company issues a single-use virtual card for agents connected to the cardholder’s account. The Information report said this approach has caused concern among card networks because it can lessen their control over the shopping and payment process and make it tougher to link the user with the actual purchase.

Shopify announced last month that it had begun allowing browser agents to check out on the websites of its eligible merchants.
