The payments industry is undergoing a seismic shift as agentic AI—systems capable of autonomous reasoning and action—redefines how transactions are processed, disputes are managed, and customer experiences are enhanced. At lowtouch.ai, we see this as a validation of our philosophy: agentic AI is the future of enterprise automation, and no-code platforms like ours are the key to making it accessible, compliant, and privacy-first.

Announcement Date: 14 & 29 Apr 2025 (PayPal Dev Days)
Headline: “Let any AI agent plug directly into PayPal to handle the full commerce loop—pay, track, invoice, dispute”
Key Use Cases:

• Pay for purchases and settle invoices
• Track shipments in real time
• Auto-manage subscriptions and inventory
• Raise or resolve disputes

Key Features:

• Existing PayPal Open Platform APIs plus new Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Agent-to-Agent workflow endpoints
• One-time-password identity checks, PayPal fraud intelligence, embedded merchant verification
• Tokenized credentials and agent-friendly endpoints

PayPal’s deep post-payment capabilities mirror lowtouch.ai’s MCP-powered integrations—but with our no-code UI, non-technical teams can assemble identical workflows without writing a single line of code.

Announcement Date: 29 Apr 2025 (Global Press Release)
Headline: “New payment infrastructure for agentic commerce—autonomous AI assistants execute transactions on behalf of users”
Key Use Cases:

• Birthday-party shopping concierge
• SME sourcing overseas & virtual corporate card settlement
• Retailer chat-bot for “best way to pay”

Key Features:

• Agentic Tokens on Mastercard’s token & passkey stack, with programmable rules
• Trusted-agent registration, on-device biometrics, user-set purchase permissions
• Integrations with Microsoft, IBM Watson, BrainTree, Checkout.com

Mastercard’s focus on security and tokenization aligns perfectly with lowtouch.ai’s privacy-first, air-gapped deployments. Our guardrails (PII filtering, safety classifiers, HITL) layer an extra level of compliance on top of their biometric controls.

Announcement Date: 30 Apr 2025 (Visa Global Product Drop)
Headline: “Empower AI agents to deliver personalized and secure shopping experiences at scale”
Key Use Cases:

• Booking flights & hotels within spend limits
• Ordering weekly groceries automatically
• Reserving restaurant tables & paying without exposing card data

Key Features:

• AI-ready cards via Visa Payment Passkeys, with 5 APIs for auth, tokenization, spend-rules, risk signals
• User-defined spend limits, MCC filters, real-time approval prompts
• Visa AI fraud engine (blocked $40 B in 2024)

Visa’s granular controls are surfaced through lowtouch.ai’s vector-database–driven RAG and conversational UI, letting you build “grocery bots” or “travel concierges” entirely without code.

PayPal, Mastercard, and Visa each illustrate the shift toward agentic payments—with three common pillars:

1. Autonomous Execution – agents handle end-to-end transactions.
2. Security & Privacy – tokenization, fraud detection, trusted-agent controls.
3. Seamless Integration – deep API ecosystems across CRM, ERP, cloud providers.

lowtouch.ai layers a no-code experience on top:

• Drag-and-drop workflows for transaction, invoicing, dispute resolution
• Air-gapped deployments ensure payment data stays on premise
• Built-in guardrails & HITL review for high-risk actions

1. Autonomous Payment Processing
Deploy no-code agents that integrate with PayPal’s Agent Toolkit or Visa Passkeys to automate the full commerce loop: payments, tracking, invoicing, disputes.

2. Enhanced Customer Experiences
Build personalized shopping assistants by combining vector-search–driven user profiles with real-time spend rules—delivered via chatbots or in-app UIs.

3. Fraud Detection & Risk Management
Leverage external LLMs (e.g., Claude, Gemini) for advanced anomaly detection, layered on top of Mastercard’s on-device biometrics and Visa’s fraud signals.

4. Compliance & Auditability
Run all agents within your infrastructure to maintain GDPR, SOC 2, and PCI DSS compliance—complete with line-of-thought logs via OpenSearch & Grafana.

Use Case: Automate weekly grocery orders under Visa spend limits, with HITL approval for large transactions.

Step 1: Define Instructions
– Retrieve grocery list from SharePoint.
– Check spend limit via Visa API.
– If within limit, place order; otherwise trigger HITL via Slack.

Step 2: Configure Integrations
– Connect Visa’s Payment Passkeys with OAuth2.
– Hook SharePoint via prebuilt connector & MCP.
– Store user preferences in the vector database.

Step 3: Implement Guardrails & HITL
– PII filter for outputs.
– Safety classifier to catch injections.
– HITL for orders above threshold.

Step 4: Schedule & Monitor
– Schedule via our conversational scheduler.
– Observe logs in OpenSearch/Prometheus dashboards.

Step 5: Scale
– Extend to travel bookings, vendor payments, and multi-agent orchestration—all via the same no-code interface.

The initiatives from PayPal, Mastercard, and Visa demonstrate the dawn of agentic AI in payments. With lowtouch.ai, enterprises gain a no-code, privacy-first platform to build, secure, and scale these capabilities instantly—no heavy development required.
