Replit, the agentic software creation platform, announced a partnership with Visa. As part of the collaboration, Visa has made an investment in Replit, and the companies are working together to integrate Visa Intelligent Commerce into Replit's platform. The company said, "Building on this foundation, the companies are collaborating to explore how Visa Intelligent Commerce, Visa's portfolio of initiatives designed to enable secure, AI-driven commerce experiences at scale, can be integrated into Replit's development environment, enabling developers to access payment building blocks natively within their agent-building workflows. As part of its exploration of Visa Intelligent Commerce, Replit is also exploring how agents built on Replit can join Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol registry, which allows agents to be recognized as Visa-trusted and able to transact across merchant and service endpoints on behalf of consumers."
