Key Points
- 2026-09-08: meta muse integration — US consumers connect Link; Muse checks out at Link merchants or receives scoped single-use virtual cards (2026-09-18-stripe-muse-link-newsroom)
- Also powers xai Grok Bot and Instinct agent payments (2026-09-18-stripe-link-ai-bots-agentic-commerce)
- Built on Stripe Issuing for Agents — supports one-time cards and Shared Payment Tokens (SPTs)
- Every purchase requires consumer approval in chat; agent never sees underlying card/bank details
