   LangChain releases Restock, a sample Slack agent that can pay with Stripe Link

   LangChain published Restock, an open sample agent that runs in Slack on Managed Deep Agents and can search products, build a cart and check out through an API supporting the Machine Payments Protocol. Payment is handled by Stripe's consumer wallet Link, so the agent never sees a card number; the user reviews the cart in Slack and approves a capped amount in Link, and the agent cannot spend above the budget. The code is in langchain-samples/restock-agent with rehearsal, Link test-approval and live-purchase modes, limited to US delivery and USD. LangChain says it ran one live order end to end on a hosted deployment and the expected refund arrived, but this is self-reported and the post labels its prices illustrative.

   Stripe: AI token fraud surges as hybrid pricing takes hold

   Speaking at its Stripe Tour event in Shanghai, Stripe said more than one in six signups at AI companies involve multi-account abuse, with free-trial abuse and usage-based "dine-and-dash" billing also rising. Its Radar fraud product blocked over 3.3 million high-risk free-trial attempts in 30 days across eight businesses that deployed it, the company said. Stripe also reported that the share of AI firms using hybrid pricing rose from 27% to 41% over the past year, while fixed-subscription or per-seat pricing among top AI companies fell from 40% to 24%. It said its acquisition of OpenRouter is still pending and introduced Checkout Studio, a Machine Payments Protocol, and Stripe Billing with token-based metering.
