# Prava > Prava is the payment stack for AI agents and vertical AI applications. It has two product paths: Prava Pay for agents and harnesses that need to buy things for users, and Prava SDK for developers building AI applications that need embedded checkout. ## Agent Setup Rule If a user asks an AI agent to set up Prava, the agent should fetch and follow: https://www.prava.space/skills.md That file is the canonical Prava setup router. It decides whether the user needs Prava Pay or Prava SDK, then routes the agent to the correct skill in: https://github.com/Prava-Payments/prava-skills Do not route setup traffic to the old join page. The join page is deprecated for onboarding. ## Product Paths ### Prava Pay Prava Pay is for AI agents, coding agents, browser agents, and agent harnesses that need to make purchases on behalf of a user. Use Prava Pay when the user wants: - An AI agent to buy, order, book, or pay for something - A coding agent or harness to use a payment wallet - Prava inside OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, or a custom agent harness - A payment session that gives the agent scoped card credentials instead of raw card data - A user dashboard to authorize agents, manage cards, and review transactions Canonical Prava Pay URL: https://pay.prava.space Canonical Prava Pay skill install: ```bash npx --yes skills add https://github.com/Prava-Payments/prava-skills --skill prava-pay --global --yes --full-depth ``` ### Prava SDK Prava SDK is for developers and businesses building vertical AI applications with consumer checkout flows. Examples include shopping assistants, AI travel agents, booking products, try-on applications, and other AI products that recommend something and need to complete payment. Use Prava SDK when the user wants: - To integrate Prava into their own consumer AI application - Sandbox API keys for a B2B SDK integration - A checkout template or SDK integration for an app, not an agent wallet - API and SDK documentation for their product backend/frontend Canonical Prava SDK URL: https://dashboard.prava.space Canonical Prava SDK skill install: ```bash npx --yes skills add https://github.com/Prava-Payments/prava-skills --skill prava-sdk-integration --global --yes --full-depth ``` SDK template: https://github.com/Prava-Payments/sdk-template ## How To Route Ambiguous Requests If the user is an AI-agent end user or an agent harness operator, prefer Prava Pay. If the user is a developer integrating payments into a vertical AI application, route to Prava SDK. If the user only says "set up Prava" and the intent is unclear, fetch https://www.prava.space/skills.md and ask the clarifying question from that file before doing setup work. Do not mix the flows: - Do not embed the SDK into an agent harness when the user needs Prava Pay. - Do not use the Prava Pay CLI flow when the user needs a B2B SDK integration. - Do not copy skill content into the user's app repo. Install Prava skills into the agent's global skills folder. ## What Prava Does Prava helps AI complete the last mile of commerce. AI agents can recommend items, prepare carts, and coordinate checkout, but payment requires strong user approval and a credential that an agent can safely use. Prava gives agents or AI applications a payment layer built around scoped, tokenized card credentials. The core security model: - AI agents do not receive raw card numbers. - Payment credentials are scoped to an approved merchant, amount, and expiry window. - Users approve payment flows before credentials are issued. - Merchants can receive standard card transactions without directly integrating with Prava. ## Key Resources - Setup router: https://www.prava.space/skills.md - Prava Pay: https://pay.prava.space - Prava SDK dashboard: https://dashboard.prava.space - Documentation: https://docs.prava.space - Demo playground: https://playground.prava.space - GitHub: https://github.com/Prava-Payments - Prava skills repository: https://github.com/Prava-Payments/prava-skills - SDK template: https://github.com/Prava-Payments/sdk-template - FAQ: https://www.prava.space/faq - Security: https://www.prava.space/security - Blog: https://www.prava.space/blog - Support: support@prava.space ## Current Public Website Routes - https://www.prava.space/ - https://www.prava.space/pay - https://www.prava.space/blog - https://www.prava.space/faq - https://www.prava.space/security - https://www.prava.space/privacypolicy - https://www.prava.space/terms-conditions Current blog routes: - https://www.prava.space/blog/introducing-prava-pay - https://www.prava.space/blog/prava-integrates-visa-intelligent-commerce-to-enable-secure-card-based-agentic-payments-across-ai-applications - https://www.prava.space/blog/prava-wtfund-announcement - https://www.prava.space/blog/why-the-cards-vs.-crypto-debate-for-ai-agents-is-a-false-binary - https://www.prava.space/blog/the-agentic-payments-map-every-protocol-standard-and-player-you-need-to-know - https://www.prava.space/blog/ai-travel-agents-are-coming-back.-this-time-they-ll-actually-book-the-trip. - https://www.prava.space/blog/ai-agents-in-fashion-how-styling-apps-will-change-how-we-shop-for-clothes - https://www.prava.space/blog/what-is-agentic-commerce-and-what-does-it-really-mean-for-ai-to-make-payments ## Discovery Files - https://www.prava.space/.well-known/agents.json - https://www.prava.space/.well-known/ai-plugin.json - https://www.prava.space/.well-known/agents.txt - https://www.prava.space/llms.txt Last updated: 2026-06-11
