Looking for folks who use ChatGPT for shopping / physical product research & discovery. If that’s you, DM me — I’d love to chat for quick user research!

[dasmer @dasmersingh]

Introducing Chat tab: Make purchases immediately by talking to an AI agent in Allowance Chat.

You can always still connect via CLI or MCP if you want to connect @useallowance to Codex, OpenClaw or your favorite desktop agent.

Skip the fric, use Allowance.

Every agent purchase is an attribution question.

Who gets paid when the agent closes?

$13B affiliate industry runs on signals agents don't generate: cookies, clicks, last-touch.

The tracking signal goes dark right when the order goes through.

I usually sneak into nice offices in nyc and order everything in their fridge using AI

[Arjun Bhargava @arjunb023]

@rajgokal @AOC No because those 1B people are wasting time reading a book when they could be earning money elsewhere...reading the book literally stops them from owning a house.

[Rye @rye]

Today the @SolanaFndn is launching https://t.co/s3KG7yMaqr — AI agents can discover, access, and pay for any API on the internet. Per request. Settled in Solana stablecoins.

Rye is a launch partner.

https://t.co/s3KG7yMaqr handles discovery, identity, and billing. Rye handles checkout execution. Agents find the Universal Checkout API, pay for the call, and complete a real purchase across 15,000+ merchants — end-to-end in one workflow.

[Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️ @CoinbaseDev]

Agents can now buy real-world goods with @agentcashdev + @rye (powered by x402):

→ Access products across 15,000+ merchants
→ No API key required

From intent to delivered order, end to end.

[Arjun Bhargava @arjunb023]

So excited for this launch! We've been seeing an ever-growing usage of agents starting to use Rye for checkout.

x402 + AgentCash's infra makes it dead simple for agents to setup a wallet + purchase _physical_ products.

[Rye @rye]

75M+ x402 transactions in the last 30 days. Almost none for physical products.

Today, that changes. We're partnering with @agentcashdev to bring native x402 payments to physical commerce. Their MCP wallet is now the preferred x402 client on Rye's Universal Checkout API.

One install. One wallet. Buy across 15,000+ merchant sites. USDC on Base, Solana, and Tempo, signed over HTTP. No card vault. No payment provider account.

https://t.co/zzOjlKMldr is live in production today.

AgentCash is the client. Rye is the checkout. x402 is the rail.

[Rye @rye]

Merchant fraud systems can't tell the difference between a scalper bot and a customer's AI agent. The agents that make it through are the ones carrying verified credentials.

We're partnering with @trySkyfire. Their Know Your Agent (KYA) protocol is now the identity layer underneath Rye's Universal Checkout API. One SDK. Verified identity at the merchant edge. Both layers in production today.

[Rye @rye]

Agents can now pay over HTTP.

75M+ x402 transactions last month. Almost none for physical products.

Rye is closing that gap. Announcement soon.

[Rye @rye]

Agentic commerce is here.

[Rye @rye]

Your agent can buy things now — Amazon & Shopify.

[Group Project @groupproject]

Order anything, just text us.

@RobinhoodApp Insane irony of typoing "<10" instead of "10+"

[Rye @rye]

The $13B affiliate industry runs on cookies, clicks, and last-touch attribution.

AI agents bypass that entire chain. No affiliate link followed. No cookie dropped. No referral header captured.

The tracking infrastructure doesn't fire. But what replaces it could be radically better — deterministic, logged, auditable.

New post breaking it all down.

[Arjun Bhargava @arjunb023]

Introducing the newest (and oldest) Agentic Commerce Protocol.

[Rye @rye]

Today we're announcing a universal, open protocol for agentic commerce.

200M+ endpoints. 30 years in production. Trillions in annual volume. Every merchant, every country, every currency. No integration required. Zero.

The protocol is the World Wide Web.
https://t.co/YdAco7bm24

[Rye @rye]

Rye's checkout API is 3 calls. Product URL in, confirmed order out.

We built an SDK that wraps them with everything production actually needs. Automatic retries with backoff. Idempotency keys on every mutation. Polling helpers that replace your hand-rolled loops.

No duplicate charges. No silent failures. No state machines. Available in TypeScript, Python, Ruby, and Java.

https://t.co/IIg6XvmFGm

[Rye @rye]

Your OpenClaw agent can now buy anything — powered by Rye.

Real purchases. Real deliveries. End-to-end agentic commerce executing in production today.

No logins. No merchant integration. No broken bots.

v2 just shipped with native Shopify checkout, Stripe-tokenized payments, order tracking, and spending limits.

Agentic commerce is here. 🦞

What is Agentic Checkout?

The question that every single person on the planet is dying to get the answer to ofc.

Are API calls agentic? If a modal completes a checkout on a merchant's site, is that agentic? Does anyone care other than me?

:O
