My favorite demo from Sessions today (slightly edited thanks to an SMS fail — if you know you know 🤦). With the Order Intents API, you can spin up a commerce agent in seconds.

Tipping with crypto is now possible on KickBot! Viewers can send tips using USDC on Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon, and you'll get paid in USD (or your local currency). Available now for all KickBot users - no updates required! 😎
Our mission is to grow the GDP of the internet. We do this by helping our customers grow *their* businesses. Today at Stripe Tour NY we announced a ton of new things in this direction. As well as a new partnership with Nvidia! Check it all out here: stripe.com/newsroom/news/….
This is a fantastic piece. Best overview I’ve read of the anthropogenic climate change problem and how we can combat it.
When I was ramping up on climate change, I initially found it difficult to see how the many disparate pieces fit together. Here’s my mental model for how to combat climate change, in case it's useful for others trying to quickly orient themselves. nanransohoff.com/A-mental-model…
We couldn’t be more excited to welcome @privy_io to Stripe! Privy builds wallet infrastructure to manage crypto assets. They’ll be operating as an independent team, fully focused on serving their core customers. Together, we can help developers increase the rate of crypto…
Congrats to @dps and @hbarra, two magnificently talented and fundamentally good humans. Very excited to see what you and your cofounders build in the months and years ahead 🕵️🕵️♂️
🚀 Excited to announce my new company: /dev/agents. I’m building the next-gen operating system for AI agents, joining my former colleagues @hbarra, @alcor, and @ficus as co-founders. We're excited to partner with @ninaachadjian (Index Ventures) and @jillchase124 (CapitalG).…
When asked "what should Stripe ship next?" many of you've said merchant of record. The Lemon Squeezy team has built an excellent MoR product, and we're excited to work together with them to help more of you launch to grow! x.com/lmsqueezy/stat…
✨ Stripe acquires Lemon Squeezy ✨ Woohoo! We made a sale! 🥳 We're excited to announce that @stripe has acquired @lmsqueezy to help build a global merchant of record solution. 3 years ago, we set out to make selling digital products easy-peasy. With your help, we've done…
Major ships we announced at Stripe Sessions today: usage-based billing, Organizations, Stripe Connect is now modular, Payment Element is now multiprocessor, and 50 other updates. Here’s a recap.
Even @ByrneHobart was impressed by the 10.5% revenue uplift Stripe users are seeing via Stripe hosted payments UIs! Great piece on Stripe via The Diff.
Today's subscribers-only issue: Stripe and growing alongside customers.
A top user request! And as a bonus, powered by Link (link.com). Unfortunately, buying crypto has been a stubbornly friction-ful experience. We're working to streamline it, and nothing is as frictionless as Link. A win for web3, with more to come.
We’re introducing a Stripe-hosted fiat-to-crypto onramp (no code required) and unlocking the waitlist for the embeddable onramp. 🛹 stripe.com/newsroom/news/…
Among many other gems at Stripe Sessions tomorrow: how Esther and team are empowering Twitter creators all over the world 🪄
Stripe Sessions is happening tomorrow at 9a PT. I'll be there to talk about how we've used @stripe to ship creator monetization products faster and with more functionality, including allowing creators to opt-in to crypto payouts. ⚡️ sessions.stripe.com
Whether or not BTC becomes "digital gold," (and I'm personally bullish), it's striking how much it's the opposite today.
Great piece on @medallion and @derek_t_lo. Takes me back to the early days of @OscarHealth and trying (often failing) to understand how our byzantine healthcare system works. “The human body does not change how it behaves when it crosses state lines.” forbes.com/sites/katiejen…
umm, gm
We’re starting a new crypto team at @Stripe. I’m hiring engineers and designers to build the future of Web3 payments: stripe.com/jobs/search?q=….
Great run-down on our fraud prevention work from @julieverhage. Overall, European retailers reported a 39% spike in fraud attempts in the past year. Amazingly, those using @stripe Radar saw no appreciable increase. Huge dollars (err, EUR / GBP) at stake! fintechtoday.co/posts/ftt-insi…
A quick rundown on what we've been up to over the past ~year: stripe.com/blog/sessions-…. A personal favorite: Stripe Tax, which was the first Stripe launch without a resounding chorus of "okay, but when are you launching tax?!?"
