you can *finally* trust your agent with your credit card now
Hermes now directly connects to Stripe, so your agent can buy things online, manage subscriptions, pay for APIs, and sign up for tools on its own
here's how to set it up:
1. pick what you want it to do and install that skill:
buy things online → hermes skills install official/payments/stripe-link-cli
pay APIs by the call → hermes skills install official/payments/mpp-agent
let it sign up for tools → hermes skills install official/payments/stripe-projects
2. connect it through your Stripe account
3. set a spending limit (how much it can spend before it has to ask you)
4. done. now you can use it to pay for things autonomously
it's safe because your real card never goes into the agent's chat.
it uses a one-time payment code that gets deleted after the purchase, so there's nothing left for anyone to steal
and it can't spend past the limit you set. anything bigger, it stops and asks you first
every charge still lands in your Stripe dashboard like a normal payment, with refunds and fraud protection included
so now you buy things 10x faster. just point it at any annoying checkout and walk away:
> renewing a domain you forget about every year
> paying for an API by the call instead of buying a whole subscription
> reordering the stuff you buy every month
or booking a flight, which is arguably the worst checkout UX on the internet haha
you can tell it "get me to lisbon next thursday, aisle seat, under $400, no extras" and it clicks through the fake timers, the seat upsells, and the trip-protection boxes for you, spending only what you allowed
simply set a budget, walk away, let it handle the rest
In partnership with
@stripe, Hermes Agent now supports a full suite of Stripe skills.
Your agent can buy things, pay per-call APIs, and provision its own SaaS, with configurable safety limits on every action.
