Stripe says AI agent transactions on its Link payment service grew 38-fold and payment volume 20-fold in September, but it has not disclosed purchase counts or dollar totals.
Stripe executive Dan Hill says about 200 agents now use the service, up from around 70, and most spend about $100 per transaction.
Link issues agents a separate 16-digit number instead of the user's real card number, and Hill names PayPal and Shopify's Shop Pay as competitors.
