Crossmint enables Visa card payments for AI agents and autonomous commerce

The new API lets AI agents make purchases with eligible Visa cards using tokenized credentials and spending controls, expanding payment options for autonomous software.

Crossmint, a stablecoin and wallet infrastructure provider, launched an API that enables AI agents to make payments using eligible Visa credit and debit cards, bringing physical card-based transactions to agent platforms.

According to Tuesday's announcement, the service uses Visa Intelligent Commerce and Basis Theory's payment infrastructure to allow AI agents to make purchases without access to users' card numbers while operating within predefined spending limits.

Crossmint said the payment capability is available through its lobster.cash tool, which can be connected to platforms including Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes and Zo Computer. Developers can immediately integrate the payment system through the company's API and documentation.
