Adyen is coming for agentic payments. Can startups keep up?
Sifted
Adyen is developing payment infrastructure for AI agents to autonomously conduct transactions, positioning itself as a major platform for agentic commerce. The company is building APIs and tooling to enable AI systems to search, negotiate, and complete purchases with minimal human intervention. This shift could reshape the payments industry as startups and competitors scramble to build compatible systems before larger platforms dominate the emerging agentic payments space.
