Protocol profile

# Stripe Link for agents (Link Agent Wallet)

In short

Stripe's consumer wallet exposed to agents: the agent creates a spend request, the user approves it, and Link returns a one-time credential or a saved Link payment at Link merchants; Meta Muse uses it. For Link for agents, merchant of record is merchant and dispute rules are card rules plus Link protections. Announced but not yet live: Salesforce CC.
