Paying with an AI agent
AI agents with Locus can pay checkout sessions programmatically. Agents can also create their own sessions — they don’t need a pre-made checkout URL.How it works
1
Tell your agent what to buy
Just describe the purchase. Your agent handles the rest:
Buy headphones from TechMart for $25If the merchant gave you a checkout page URL, you can pass that too — the agent will navigate to it and the page will tell it everything it needs.
2
Agent creates a session (if needed)
If the agent doesn’t already have a checkout session, it creates one through Locus. Session IDs are auto-generated by Locus — the agent just specifies the amount and details.
3
Agent pays and confirms
The agent submits payment using its Locus API key, polls for on-chain confirmation, and reports back with the transaction hash.
Pay with AI Agent — the checkout page shows agent payment instructions
Checkout pages are self-describing. They include structured data (JSON and
data-* attributes) so any agent — even one that has never seen Locus before — can navigate to a checkout URL, parse the page, and pay.Setting up your agent with Locus
If your agent doesn’t have Locus yet, setup is one line:Policy guardrails
Agent payments are subject to limits you configure in the Locus dashboard:
