Every extra step at checkout creates another opportunity for customers to abandon their purchase.

You've invested in faster page loads, broader payment method coverage, and a better checkout experience. Yet customers still need to repeatedly enter payment details and authentication codes whenever they shop with a new business.

Meet Airi — Airwallex’s consumer wallet that lets customers save their payment details once and check out in a single click wherever Airi is accepted.

With less friction at checkout, you can convert more customers without any additional integration or setup.

Faster checkout. Higher conversion.

Compared to standard card checkout flows, Airi delivers:

• Up to 3x faster checkout

• Up to 14% higher conversion

Unlike traditional saved-card experiences that only work within a single store, Airi works across a fast-growing network of businesses. Once customers create an Airi account, they can use the same saved payment details whenever they pay with Airi.

That means customers can arrive ready to pay, even if it’s their first purchase from your business.

Enable Airi in seconds with no extra fees

Enabling Airi requires little to no additional setup. Simply head to the Payment Methods section of your Airwallex account and enable Airi. Once enabled, Airi appears alongside your existing payment methods and customers can start using it immediately. More information can be found here.

There are no additional fees to enable Airi. You simply pay Airwallex’s standard, transparent payments pricing, with competitive processing fees on both domestic and foreign transactions.

Airi is currently available on Airwallex Checkout and Payment Links, with additional integrations coming soon.

Improve cross-border payment success

If you sell internationally, checkout friction is even more costly.

Cross-border transactions often convert less effectively than domestic ones due to additional checkout friction, stricter risk controls, and lower customer trust.

Because Airi can recognise trusted customers across participating merchants, more legitimate transactions can move through checkout smoothly, helping reduce avoidable declines and improve payment approval rates.

As Airi is built directly into Airwallex Payments, you continue to benefit from:

• Local currencies and payment methods

• Multi-currency settlement

• AI-powered fraud prevention with Optimize 360

Airi for the future of agentic payments

Airi exists to do one thing exceptionally well: help you convert more of your customers at checkout.

Commerce is entering a new era. As AI agents take on a greater role in how people shop, a growing share of your customers will delegate their purchasing decisions to agents. Airi is built for that shift. Today, Airi is the consumer wallet behind one-click checkout, securely storing your customers' payment details so they can pay in seconds. Looking ahead, we’re evolving Airi into a secure agentic wallet, allowing your shoppers to authorise agents to transact on their behalf without ever exposing sensitive payment data.

As more of your customers delegate purchases through agents, you need the infrastructure to accept payments from these emerging channels. That’s where Airwallex's Agentic Commerce Suite comes in – equipping you with the ability to accept and manage agent-initiated payments, with the same security and reliability you expect from every transaction.

Together, Airi and the Agentic Commerce Suite power both sides of agent-led commerce, enabling customers to pay securely through agents while helping you seamlessly convert agent-led purchases into revenue. These solutions complete a full agentic commerce loop between builders, merchants, and shoppers on Airwallex’s regulated rails.

Commerce will continue to evolve, and Airwallex is built to help you stay ahead of it. As new channels emerge, you will be ready to meet your customers wherever they choose to buy and accept payments seamlessly, anywhere in the world.
