# Introduction

> Give your AI agent a responsible credit card to use for online payments.

By the end of this guide, your **Browserbase** agent will retrieve a virtual card from **Stripe** and make a donation to the Red Cross.

You'll learn how to:

1. **Generate a virtual credit card** using the Stripe API with spending controls.
2. Use Browserbase to **make purchases** with the virtual card.

This integration is useful for:

* Creating a restricted credit card for your AI agent to use for online payments.
* Retrieving card details from Stripe.
* Automating the input of card details into a web form.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

* [Stripe API key](https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys)
  * Stripe access to [create a virtual card](https://dashboard.stripe.com/issuing/cards)
* [Browserbase Project ID & API key](https://browserbase.com/settings/)
* *(Optional)* LLM API key of your choice to use with [Stagehand](https://www.stagehand.dev/).

Next, dive into **creating a virtual card with the Stripe API**.
