Onboard your payment processor to Visa Intelligent Commerce Connect so it can accept agent-initiated payments across ACP, UCP, MPP, and TAP protocols

Steps

1. Apply for access to Visa Intelligent Commerce (VIC) via the Visa Developer Center; VIC is the umbrella platform covering the Agentic Directory, Agent Score, TAP, and Intelligent Commerce Connect.
2. Complete the Intelligent Commerce Connect integration using Visa's protocol-agnostic 'on ramp': VIC Connect normalizes inbound agent payment requests arriving via ACP, UCP, MPP, or TAP into a standard authorization format your existing payment stack can process.
3. Configure your token vault settings in the VIC dashboard; VIC Connect is token vault-agnostic, so existing network tokens, Stripe SPTs, or Mastercard Agentic Tokens all route through without re-tokenization.
4. Activate the Agentic Directory lookup in your fraud stack so your authorization service can call the Visa Agentic Directory to verify an agent's registration status before settling the transaction.
5. Use the Agent Score signal (announced at Visa Payments Forum June 2026) in your risk rules to evaluate website/agent readiness scores alongside standard fraud signals.
