- Sapiom is payment infrastructure for AI agents and the applications that build them.
More detail
- It connects a customer's existing card to a named agent under per-purchase rules (merchant, amount, currency, expiry), asks the customer to approve anything outside those rules, and carries each purchase through browser checkout, payment protocols or merchant APIs to an order confirmation.
- It also meters paid capabilities such as web search, browser automation and AI model calls, billed per use with agent and trace attribution.
- Best for
- Developers and product teams shipping AI agents or agent platforms that need to pay merchants, run paid API calls, and give customers control over what an agent may spend.

- Also fits teams that want a per-purchase approval trail and a single metered bill for third-party paid tools.
- Pricing

- It earns money from metered usage: paid capabilities (web search, browser automation, AI models, media generation, SMS/email) are billed per call under a 'one bill, every capability' model, and a Startup plan adds per-agent
- Main limitation
- Teams that need a drop-in single-token API, nationwide or worldwide route coverage, or fully unsupervised spend above a customer's mandate — Sapiom requires human approval when terms change and route availability depends on merchant and card.

Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Per-purchase spend rules | Yes | Customer-defined limits by merchant, amount, currency and expiry; approval required when the request exceeds scope or the final total changes. |
| Customer card connection and approval handoff | Yes | Customers save an existing card in a branded handoff and grant an agent purchase permission; no API key configuration by the customer. |
| Protected card reference (card vault) | Yes | Sensitive card fields go to a hosted vault form; the application receives a card reference, not the number. |
| Multi-route checkout (browser, UCP, x402, API) | Limited | All four routes are listed, but availability depends on the merchant and payment credential, and browser checkout needs store and adapter validation. |
| Agent identity tied to customer and permissions | Yes | Each agent is bound to its application, customer and permission, with expiry and revocation that preserves past purchases. |
| Purchase timeline observability | Yes | Approvals, payment attempts and merchant confirmations appear in one timeline tied to the customer and agent. |
| Metered paid capabilities on one bill | Yes | Search, browser automation, AI models, media generation and messaging billed per call with agent and trace attribution. |
| Card issuing for agents | Limited | Marked Early access and gated behind a request form. |
| Voice payment handoff | Limited | Marked Early access and gated behind a request form. |
| Recovery & cases and Insurance | Limited | Both marked Early access and gated behind a request form. |
