36Kr Global · Event | Stripe Online: Join Hands with Anthropic and PixVerse to Talk about AI, Global Payments and Asia-Pacific Opportunities

The capability boundary of artificial intelligence is expanding from information processing to action execution. The new generation of AI Agents are no longer just tools for answering questions; they have begun to participate in task planning, tool invocation, and even influence users' decisions on search, comparison, purchase, and payment.

For global-facing enterprises, the underlying logic of overseas growth is changing accordingly. Companies must not only consider how to reach users, but also ensure that their product information, pricing systems, transaction workflows, and payment experiences adapt to the new consumer journey deeply intervened by AI.

Amid this transformation, the Asia-Pacific region has become a critical market for observing AI commercialization and online growth. On one hand, the Asia-Pacific market boasts a large population of digital-native users and a highly mature mobile internet ecosystem; on the other hand, consumer habits, payment methods, financial infrastructure, and localization requirements vary significantly across different countries and regions. For global-facing enterprises, opportunities come not only from market size, but also from the ability to quickly understand new traffic entrances, purchase decision-making patterns, and transaction conversion mechanisms.

Growth in the AI era for global-facing businesses is no longer limited to ad placement, official website construction, or App optimization. Instead, it requires re-examining the entire historical consumer journey—from discovery to selection, then to order placement and payment completion. Whoever can understand the new rules brought by agent commerce earlier, and better complete structured product information, payment process optimization, and business model design, will be more likely to gain advantages in the next round of cross-border growth.

To help global-facing enterprises better grasp the business transformations brought by AI and Agents, Stripe will host the "Stripe Online: Unlocking the Future of Revenue" webinar on August 12, with the theme of AI, Global Payments, and Asia-Pacific Opportunities. Experts, industry leaders, and enterprise representatives from Stripe, Anthropic, Sky9 Capital, Google, and PixVerse will share insights into trends, practical experiences, and solution frameworks, helping enterprises understand business shifts in the AI era and identify actionable growth strategies.

Stripe is the world's leading online payment infrastructure service provider, offering one-stop solutions ranging from collection and payment to risk management for enterprises of all scales.

This Stripe Online event will feature two dedicated breakout sessions:

• The first session focuses on "Business Innovation in the AI-Transformed Era", covering trends such as agent commerce, commercialization of AI-native products, new revenue models, and monetization strategies;
• The second session explores "Scaled Payment Growth in Asia-Pacific", introducing how to leverage localized payments, conversion rate improvement, authorization rate optimization, and global payment infrastructure to help enterprises achieve more efficient revenue growth in the Asia-Pacific market and beyond.
