Agent cards

Making a purchase

Walk an agent through a real Agent Cards purchase, end to end.

The fastest path to a working purchase is to hand your agent the Agentic Purchase playbook. It covers connecting the agent, enrolling your business in Agent Cards, and walking through a real checkout — with per-runtime instructions for common MCP clients and terminal agents.

See the Agentic Purchase playbook.

What the agent does

  1. Picks a fund to back the purchase.
  2. Generates a single-use credential (PAN + CVV) scoped to the merchant and capped at the amount.
  3. Checks out at the merchant.
  4. Closes the loop — records the outcome and follows whatever receipt, memo, or coding steps are available in the chosen runtime.

Include the billing address

Some merchants require billing-address fields at checkout. Pass the billing address explicitly in the prompt:

Use Ramp to renew my domain, billing address 123 Main St, San Francisco, CA 94110.

CLI: install the skill

If you're driving the purchase from the CLI, install the skill first:

ramp skills install agentic-purchase

The skill composes the credential request, checkout, and audit steps into one workflow. See Agent mode & skills.

Limits

Agent purchases are subject to merchant-category and transaction-type restrictions. MCP chat attachments do not currently pass receipt images or PDFs into Ramp MCP tools, so plan receipt handling separately when your workflow needs it. See Limits & restrictions.
