Stripe Co-Founder and President John Collison stated on May 17, 2026 that shoppers want to delegate mundane tasks to AI agents in agentic commerce. Collison noted that users prefer saying “buy it for me in this size” rather than navigating feeds and promotions. Stripe debuted its Agentic Commerce Suite for brands and ecommerce platforms in 2025. Stripe is positioning itself as the payment infrastructure for this transition with its Link product adapted for agent wallets.
