Visa Inc. has launched Intelligent Commerce Connect, a new solution designed to enable businesses to participate in AI-driven commerce by supporting transactions initiated by AI agents.

The platform, part of Visa’s Intelligent Commerce portfolio, allows merchants, developers, and payment enablers to integrate agent-based payments through a single connection via the Visa Acceptance Platform. It supports secure payment initiation, tokenization, authentication, and spend controls, while enabling transactions using both Visa and non-Visa cards.

Currently in pilot with partners including AWS and others, the solution aims to simplify adoption of “agentic commerce,” where AI systems can make purchases on behalf of consumers. It also enables merchants to make product catalogs accessible within AI platforms, facilitating discovery and checkout directly through AI-driven interfaces.

Visa said the offering is designed to extend its global payment infrastructure into emerging AI-powered shopping environments, helping businesses securely scale this new transaction model.
