As AI agents increasingly assist consumers with everyday purchases, checkout is expected to be redefined. Stripe’s Shared Payment Tokens is the primitive enabling this shift, allowing AI agents to initiate transactions on a customer’s behalf using their preferred payment method, without exposing sensitive payment credentials.
AI-driven transactions have traditionally relied on card-on-file payments, limiting the availability of alternative payment methods – a gap this technology aims to address. By supporting Stripe’s Shared Payment Tokens, Zip will help ensure flexible payment options remain available in the next generation of checkout experiences.
“At Zip, we believe even as technology evolves, trust should remain with the customer,” said Rory Herriman, U.S. Chief Technology and Operating Officer of Zip US. “Agentic AI has the potential to make shopping more seamless, but it also raises an important question of who is really in control? Our role is to ensure the answer is always the customer. By supporting Stripe’s Shared Payment Tokens, we’re bringing flexible payment options into these new experiences in a way that preserves choice, transparency, and confidence at every step.”
“Our Shared Payment Tokens will soon support Zip, enabling AI agents to offer flexible payment options to buyers at checkout. By bringing Zip to agentic transactions, we are helping businesses lift conversion while giving buyers more options in how they pay,” said Kevin Miller, Head of payments at Stripe.
This marks the next phase of Zip’s partnership with Stripe, focused on delivering flexible, transparent, and secure payment experiences at scale. As commerce evolves, Zip remains committed to expanding access and meeting customers wherever they are in their financial journey.
