VercatusMastercard agent pay acceptance
Mastercard Agent Pay uses agentic tokens. Mastercard's Agent Pay Acceptance Framework (14 October 2025) has merchants verify agents with the Web Bot Auth standard at the CDN layer, without deploying new code; verified agents then use the merchant's existing checkout forms to submit a Dynamic Token Verification Code, an agentic token formatted for standard card payment fields. On 10 September 2025 Mastercard said all US Mastercard cardholders would be enabled for Agent Pay by the holiday season, with global rollout to follow; in January 2026 it said it had joined Google's UCP and was working with Microsoft to bring Agent Pay to Copilot Checkout.
