A lot of the discussion around agentic payments understandably focuses on the “wait … how exactly is this supposed to work safely?” part. Which makes sense, given that we are talking about autonomous software making decisions that eventually lead to money moving around.

So when AP2 and Verifiable Intent were contributed into the FIDO Alliance, it gave me the chance to dig into this topic a lot deeper. I wrote up my understanding in a (slightly) more technical follow-up to the announcements, intended to give a clearer picture of what has actually been contributed to the FIDO Alliance and where the thinking in the Payments Technical Working Group may be heading.

Moving this work from invention and experimentation into open standardization is a pretty important milestone. Agentic payments will ultimately need a shared, interoperable trust layer for identity, consent, and delegation. Building that with the broader ecosystem is crucial to avoid us ending up with 47 incompatible versions of “trust me, the AI meant to do that.”

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Does any developer have experience with the EU payment platforms Mollie and/or Billwerk+

Pros/Cons, etc? Looking for a EU based alternative to Stripe. I'm looking to integrate payments either directly into the platform, or via a WooCommerce site.

Thanks to Sadik PK's help, I managed to automate much steps of USSD based *99# UPI Payments.

https://wiki.fsci.in/NUUP#Automating_scan_to_pay_process

https://codeberg.org/jiujiupay/jiujiupay/

Now we can scan, copy, launch app, paste and pay. More automation is possible, but this reduces a manual and error prone step of extracting upi id from upi url. Also makes dialing a specific ussd code easy.

Anyone interested to port this to Android / iOS?
