Visa and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have entered into a strategic collaboration directed at supporting developers and enterprises building towards agentic commerce.
Driving agentic commerce
The relationship with AWS will enable Visa to list the Visa Intelligence Commerce platform in AWS Marketplace, supporting businesses and developers to connect to an expanding ecosystem of agentic commerce providers for reliable payments.
Additionally, AWS and Visa intend to publish blueprints on the public Amazon Bedrock AgentCore repository developed for multi-network agentic retail shopping, travel booking, and payment reconciliation. This will allow developers to create and connect more complex workflows.
The partnership underlines a shared commitment to optimising agentic workloads and commerce capabilities on AWS, with Visa deploying MCP tools to facilitate fully integrated, end-to-end agentic commerce solutions on the platform.
Visa Intelligent Commerce now on AWS Marketplace
By making Visa Intelligence Commerce on AWS Marketplace, the company aims to equip businesses and developers with access to agentic payment tools such as authentication, agentic tokenization, data personalisation, and user intent capture.
Publishing blueprints for agentic workflows
Visa and AWS aim to provide blueprints on the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore public repository. This will enable developers and businesses to access support for creating work-agnostic agentic commerce workflows capable of reasoning, acting, and transacting across sectors.
The two companies are collaborating with industry partners such as Expedia Group, Intuit, lastminute.com, and Eurostars Hotel Company, among others, for the blueprint design and reviews. Developers, solution architects, fintech builders, and independent software vendors (ISVs) will be able to use these blueprints to accelerate the development of agentic commerce workflows. Each blueprint works with the Visa Intelligent Commerce MCP Server and APIs, supporting secure, tokenized, and contextual payments with additional assistance for multi-network commerce flows being set to launch in the upcoming period.
Talking about the strategic move, David Richardson, VP of AgentCore, AWS, stated that, as currently, commerce is fragmented across multiple systems and intermediaries, Visa Intelligent Commerce and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore plan to focus on optimising this by enabling agents to communicate securely and autonomously, with standardised integration through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore blueprints, and embedded payments through Visa MCP Server or APIs.
