We're back from Stripe Sessions 2026, and there's a lot to unpack.

Stripe kicked things off with "Day 119 of Singularity," and from there it was two days of announcements showing just how fast AI is reshaping commerce:

Agentic commerce is here:

1) The Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) and Agentic Commerce Suite are building the rails for AI agents to transact autonomously

2) Stripe + Metronome brings real-time token billing for AI monetization

3) Tempo Blockchain (with Paradigm) enables streaming micropayments: DoorDash, Klarna, and Visa are already on board.

The systems your business depends on are getting smarter, and the gaps between them are about to become much more consequential.

Scott was joined by Tyson Hollas for this Fireside Chat - they discussed what they’re seeing, what’s confusing, and how it’s actually showing up in day-to-day work.

They talk through things like ROI challenges, why AI feels both useful and messy at the same time, and how people are experimenting with it in different ways across teams.

Here's something we hear a lot: "We didn't plan for it to get this complicated." 🙃

And honestly — nobody does. Systems accumulate over time. A tool here, a platform there, a legacy system that's been around since before half the team was hired.

The goal isn't a perfect tech stack. It's a functional one — where the systems you have actually talk to each other.

That's what Venn does.

Next week we're not just at Sage Future — we're also headed to Stripe Sessions in San Francisco!

Stripe is reshaping financial infrastructure for modern organizations, and the integration story there is one we're really excited to be part of. Come find us if you'll be at the event.
