Prava

Prava enables AI-powered applications to perform purchases through a payments infrastructure that keeps sensitive card data off the agent and from the AI itself. It is designed for developers and companies building AI-driven shopping, travel, or general assistant experiences where autonomous transactions are needed with user approval.

The system centers on permissioned spending: a user grants a passkey for a specific merchant and amount, which Prava then exchanges for a one-time, scoped credential. This permits checkout while ensuring biometrics validate each transaction and the AI does not access raw card data.

Prava emphasizes security and compliance, handling PCI requirements and tokenization so that the agent can initiate payments across multiple PSPs or merchants. The architecture aims to reduce fraud and maintain user control over spending through tokenized credentials and expiration controls.

Prava offers a unified SDK and documentation to help developers integrate agentic payments quickly, with a focus on universal merchant compatibility, zero PCI scope, and support for various integration approaches and platforms.

• AI shopping/stylist apps (in-chat discovery → buy)
• Travel and booking agents (flight/hotel reservations)
