Your AI Agent's Credit Card Takes 3 API Calls
Transcript
You've been trusting your AI agent with your main API credentials. Stop. Stripe just shipped Issuing for Agents — your agent gets its own single-use virtual card instead. Here's how to issue one at agent launch: stripe.issuing.Card.create — type virtual, spending_limits 50 dollars per authorization. The card expires after one use. If your agent goes rogue and tries to spend ten thousand dollars, the authorization fails at the network level before money moves. You get real-time auth webhooks, full transaction logs, and fraud signals. No shared credentials, no runaway spend, no "I thought the agent would stop." This launched at Stripe Sessions last week with self-serve onboarding and live funds. If your agent is touching money, give it its own card. Docs link in bio.
