Replit’s vibe coding platform just got a Visa-backed identity layer for AI agents — and it changes how agents spend money
Replit has announced a partnership with Visa to integrate payment capabilities directly into its AI-powered coding platform. The collaboration adds a Visa-backed identity layer for AI agents, allowing them to authenticate and make transactions autonomously. This means that agents built on Replit can now purchase APIs, cloud services, or other digital goods without human intervention, using a secure payment flow managed by Visa. The feature is aimed at enterprise users who want to automate workflows that involve spending, such as deploying infrastructure or buying data. Replit's platform, known for its 'vibe coding' approach that lets developers build apps via natural language prompts, now becomes a transactional environment. The integration is expected to roll out in phases, with initial support for agent-initiated payments within the Replit ecosystem. Pricing details have not been disclosed, but the move positions Replit as a key player in the emerging agent economy, where AI agents act as economic actors. This development was reported by The New Stack on May 30, 2026.
