On November 12, 2026, Replit gave Replit Agent two business jobs. Agentic Commerce finds and buys supplies through Stripe’s Link wallet and Visa, with your approval on every final total. Agentic Ads builds and runs Google Ads Performance Max campaigns from your Replit chat, billed against Replit credits.
Our earlier Replit Cloud Agents guide covered the agent’s work inside codebases. This release moves the agent from code into running the business behind the app.

What is new
Replit announced both features in a November 12, 2026 blog post. Here is how the two features compare.
| Item | Agentic Commerce | Agentic Ads |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Finds, compares and buys supplies, equipment or subscriptions | Drafts, launches and reports on Google Ads campaigns |
| Partners | Link (built by Stripe), Visa, Browserbase browser | Google Ads |
| Plan access | Core and Pro, starting in the US (launch post) | Pro plan and a personal Workspace for a Replit-managed account (docs) |
| How you pay | Saved payment method in your Link wallet | Replit credits (Replit-managed account) or your existing Google Ads billing |
| Approval point | Final checkout total in the Link approval flow | Campaign activation and any budget increase |
| Main limit | One-time purchases at launch | Performance Max only; one campaign at a time on Replit-created accounts |
For context on plan prices, Replit’s pricing page lists Core at $20 per month ($18 per month billed annually) and Pro at $100 per month ($90 per month billed annually).
How Agentic Commerce works
You describe what you need in a chat, for example Replit’s own sample request to “find 50 shipping boxes that fit this product, under $75 including delivery.” The agent uses what it already knows about your business to find options. A browser subagent, running in a browser supplied by Browserbase, then navigates the merchant’s site, selects product options, fills the cart and prepares checkout (Replit blog).
Payment runs through Link, Stripe’s consumer network, which Replit says has more than 300 million users. Link lets you choose a saved payment method and approve the final total, and Visa provides the payment infrastructure for agent-initiated transactions.
Replit lists several safeguards. The browser session is isolated. The agent stops at checkout and never gets open-ended permission to spend. During payment, shell access and general browsing are disabled, and approval checks are enforced in code rather than left to the model.
How to make a first purchase
Replit’s Agentic Commerce documentation describes this flow:
- Open a chat in your workspace and describe what you want to buy. Replit checks whether buying is available and shows any setup or upgrade prompts.
- Give your constraints: budget, size, delivery timing or preferred retailers. You can paste a product link and ask the agent to explain trade-offs. Research alone does not authorize a purchase.
- When prompted, connect Link and return to the chat. Connecting the wallet does not approve a purchase or charge you.
- Confirm the merchant, quantity and options, then review the shipping address, delivery option and final total, including taxes and fees.
- If the merchant needs a sign-in or verification, take over the browser, complete that step in the browser rather than in chat, and select Done. Do not place the order yourself while Replit is preparing it.
- Review the merchant, amount, currency and any recurring terms in the Link approval flow, then approve or decline.
- Wait for the reported outcome. Payment confirmation and merchant order confirmation are separate, so keep the merchant’s receipt.
The documentation also describes fixed-price subscriptions. Initial and renewal totals must be identical; trials, introductory prices, usage-based billing, prorations and variable renewals are not supported. Note that the launch post describes the feature as limited to one-time purchases, so check what your account offers.
How Agentic Ads works
Agentic Ads turns a live website or published app into a Google Ads campaign. Replit analyzes your content, drafts ad copy, prepares images and recommends campaign settings. You set the goal, destination page, audience locations and languages, creative and average daily budget (Replit Ads documentation).
The supported campaign type is Performance Max. Google combines your headlines, descriptions and images into ads across Search, YouTube, Display, Discover and other Google channels, and Google decides which combinations appear where.
You can create a new Replit-managed Google Ads account or connect an existing one by signing in with the Google account that has access. Because the agent built your app, it can also add conversion tracking for actions such as sign-ups or purchases, so you can measure results beyond clicks.
Replit’s documentation suggests prompts such as “How did my campaign perform over the last seven days? Show spend, impressions, clicks, and any reported conversions. Recommend one change without applying it.” You can also ask it to pause, resume or rebudget a campaign, or set up a weekly reporting routine, which is not on by default.
Ad budgets and billing
- Campaigns created through Replit need an average daily budget of at least $15 USD.
- The average daily budget is not a hard daily cap. Google can spend more on some days and less on others.
- With a Replit-managed account, ad spend comes out of the same credit balance as your other Replit usage, and auto-reload can charge your payment method to refill it.
- Google reporting is delayed, so charges can appear after the activity, including after you pause a campaign.
- Replit usage for preparing and managing ads is billed separately from the ad spend itself.
Campaigns can be created in a paused state, and a paused campaign does not serve ads. An Enabled status does not mean ads are already running, since Google review and account eligibility can delay serving. Replit advises asking the agent to confirm how and when a campaign will stop.
Limitations
- Agentic Commerce starts in the US for Core and Pro users.
- Replit-created Google Ads accounts can run one campaign at a time, and only Performance Max is supported.
- The Replit-managed ads launch is for personal Workspaces, not Enterprise Workspaces, and Google promotional credits are not included.
- Prices and availability can change during checkout. If payment status is uncertain, do not resubmit the purchase, because a second attempt could create a duplicate charge or order.
- Never paste card details, passwords or verification codes into chat.

Frequently asked questions
What is Replit Agentic Commerce?
It is a Replit Agent feature, announced November 12, 2026, that researches products for your business, prepares the merchant’s checkout in an isolated browser, and pays through Link, Stripe’s wallet, only after you approve the final total.
Which Replit plans can use Agentic Commerce?
Replit’s launch post says Agentic Commerce is available to Core and Pro users, starting in the US and limited to one-time purchases. Replit’s pricing page lists Core at $20 per month and Pro at $100 per month on monthly billing.
What do I need to run Google Ads with Replit?
For a new Replit-managed Google Ads account, Replit’s documentation requires a Pro plan, a personal Workspace, auto-reload turned on with available Replit credits, and a live website or published app to advertise.
How is Google Ads spend billed through Replit?
With a Replit-created account, ad spend is deducted from your Replit credit balance and shown in your usage, so no separate Google Ads payment method is needed. A connected existing account keeps its own Google Ads billing.
Is the Replit daily ad budget a hard cap?
No. Replit’s documentation warns that the average daily budget, which must be at least $15, is not a hard daily cap. Google can spend more on some days and less on others, and charges can appear after a campaign is paused.
