KYC, AML, and PCI-DSS requirements shape a lot of early architecture decisions, and retrofitting them later is far m…

Five response shapes from Stripe's Shared Payment Tokens preview API that I didn't find documented, captured from real test-mode responses. Stripe's Shared Payment Tokens are the payment primitive for agentic commerce: a token that carries its own spend limits — max_amount, currency, expires_at — so an agent can pay without ever holding a card credential.
