Paystack, the payments technology company owned by The Stack Group (TSG), has launched an experimental product that allows users in Nigeria to check out with supported Paystack merchants using AI agents.
Paystack Index, developed with product support from TSG Labs, the Group’s venture studio, focused on building new products using emerging technologies, builds on existing Paystack products, such as Paystack Checkout and Zap, to let users complete daily transactions through AI, while keeping payments on Paystack’s existing infrastructure.
The company said the product currently works with supported AI clients, including Claude, ChatGPT, and OpenClaw, with early access launching first with Zap users in Nigeria.
The launch coincides with rising AI adoption in Nigeria. According to a Google-Ipsos survey, 88% of Nigerians surveyed said they had used generative AI over the previous year, while 62% said they had used it for everyday tasks such as planning trips, meals, or workout routines.
