Gr4vy supports agentic payments through orchestration and launches development kit to prepare merchants for AI commerce

Gr4vy, the cloud-native payment orchestration platform, today announced it is fully ready to support agentic payment transactions through its orchestration layer, allowing merchants to manage and process transactions within AI-driven environments.  In addition, Gr4vy is launching its Agentic Development Kit (ADK), designed to equip and guide merchants in building and launching AI-native storefronts within platforms such as ChatGPT.

Consumers are relying on new ways to discover products, and it’s beginning to influence how they shop. While customers still initiate transactions, intelligent systems are already shaping decisions, surfacing products, and guiding checkout experiences. According to a recent Morgan Stanley research report, 23% of consumers in the U.S. have already made a purchase using AI in the past month. However, existing payment stacks were not built for this model, leaving merchants without the infrastructure or visibility needed to operate in AI-driven environments.

ADK gives merchants a practical way to make their products purchasable directly inside AI platforms without rebuilding their existing payment infrastructure. Merchants can launch AI-native storefronts, orchestrate AI transactions in real-time, and maintain full control over performance, security, and customer experience.

“AI is quickly becoming part of the checkout journey,” said John Lunn, Founder and CEO of Gr4vy. “We’re already enabling agentic payments inside ChatGPT today. The Agentic Development Kit is the next step, providing merchants with a structured way to adopt this model. You don’t need to rebuild your payments stack. You just need the right infrastructure layer to support it.”

Built on Gr4vy’s infrastructure-first approach, the Agentic Development Kit provides the framework and guidance for merchants to build storefronts within AI platforms like ChatGPT. Once live, these storefronts connect to Gr4vy through a single API, enabling merchants to process transactions using their existing payment stack or access 400+ payment methods and PSPs. 

Running on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the ADK enables embedded shopping and checkout experiences directly within conversational interfaces. Through Gr4vy’s orchestration layer, merchants can implement real-time routing, retries, fraud rules, and dynamic workflows in a secure, PCI Level 1-compliant environment. The ADK also provides visibility into agentic transactions, enabling merchants to monitor performance, optimize conversion, and refine routing strategies.

“Merchants don’t need to rebuild their payment stack to participate in AI commerce,” said Lunn. “They need the right control layer, and that’s what Gr4vy provides.”

The Agentic Development Kit is available today.
