Registration, a key in the Agent Pay key directory and agentic tokens follow, and each cardholder must authenticate with the agent platform. The portal's Agent Pay API reference is a template and no sandbox is public. The Agent Pay product page was unchecked, so a process may be described there.

Verifiable Intent, a v0.1 draft, made a breaking field change on 17 April 2026 that its CHANGELOG.md doesn't record, and last changed on 20 April 2026. Agent Pay for Machines, announced 10 June 2026, links no developer docs. Agent Pay has no changelog, status page or deprecation notices, and registration needs Mastercard onboarding.

No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mastercard-agent-pay#rev_3329 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mastercard-agent-pay#rev_3329 Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Verifiable Intent is free under Apache-2.0, and the merchant guides on Mastercard Developers need no account. No fee schedule for Agent Pay registration, agentic tokens or Agent Pay for Machines was found, and Agent Pay has no public sandbox or trial. Card and network fees apply on each payment. Onboarding has no published process, so the cost of a first token can't be estimated. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 16 October 2026.

Verifiable Intent v0.1 binds amount range, payees, merchants and line items to the user's key, but defines no revocation, and no public token revocation exists for Agent Pay. Registration, directory keys and tokens need Mastercard onboarding. The key directory and security.txt on www.mastercard.com are unchecked.

Registered agents identify themselves with Web Bot Auth signatures and pay with scoped agentic tokens. Agent Pay for Machines, announced in June 2026, extends it to machine payments.
