News about Stripe

Stripe president John Collison said agentic commerce activity at the payments processor began rising sharply in September, though he gave no specific figures, during a podcast conversation with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and chief AI officer Alexandr Wang. The talk centered on Meta's AI assistant Muse, which can buy products on command, and Zuckerberg said Meta has spent as much as $200 billion on AI. Stripe bought the AI model gateway OpenRouter for $7.5 billion in August, and Collison promoted its AI services. The article also notes that Amazon has banned Muse from shopping on its website, while Zuckerberg suggested that companies blocking the assistant will regret it.
