Summary
According to a post on X by @Replit, Replit Agent can now make purchases for a user's business from natural-language requests, using what it knows about the product and budget. The user approves the total through Link, which makes the purchase and handles payment together with Visa. The post also says Browserbase powers the shopping, but the source snippet is cut off before describing how that works. The new capability is buying on a business's behalf, with the user keeping a final approval step.

Why it matters
Businesses using Replit Agent could delegate purchasing, but the approval step through Link means the user still signs off on the total before payment is made. Builders and finance teams should watch how spending limits, approvals and payment controls are handled as the feature rolls out. The information comes from a company post, and the snippet is incomplete, so details beyond the approval and payment flow remain unclear.
