Adyen

I’m super excited to share that Adyen is joining the newly launched x402 Foundation (within the Linux Foundation) to help establish a universal standard for payments over HTTP. As we enter the era of agentic commerce, open and interoperable standards will be critical - not just for enabling AI agents to transact, but for ensuring those transactions deliver real value for merchants. At Adyen, our role in the Foundation is grounded in that perspective: advocating for merchant outcomes at every step. We are committed to shaping these standards so that payments over HTTP uphold the trust, transparency, and reliability that businesses depend on, ensuring merchants can confidently participate in, and benefit from, the shift toward autonomous commerce.

Payments you trust. People you know. For ServiceTitan, payments don’t happen behind a desk. They happen in driveways, basements, and job sites—often with a customer waiting. That’s why close account management matters. Becky Velasquez works alongside ServiceTitan’s team to understand how payments actually show up in the field and helps shape a setup that supports faster work and getting paid sooner. Watch the full conversation to see how partnership helps ServiceTitan build for what’s next. ▶ https://bit.ly/4rzMRNT
