ActOnce Spend Gateway in a Nutshell
Who is it for?
Developers and teams using AI agents who need controlled spending and approval workflows.
Problem
AI agents often require purchasing power, which can lead to uncontrolled spend and risky merchant choices. Without clear controls, teams struggle to monitor, approve, or restrict transactions, increasing security and compliance concerns.
Solution
ActOnce Spend Gateway provides configurable spending controls and an approval workflow, allowing AI agents to request purchases while you set limits, trusted merchants, blocked categories, and review queues. It integrates with MCP-compatible agents and never handles payment credentials, offering a secure, auditable spending layer.
What makes it unique
Unlike generic payment tools, ActOnce Spend Gateway specializes in AI agent spend governance with per-merchant allowlists, category blocks, duplicate request detection, and an approval queue. It provides both a local MIT-licensed gateway and paid hosted dashboards for team-wide visibility and control.

I've been building with AI agents and exploring how much responsibility we can give them. Spending money is where that gets particularly interesting. "Buy a domain for this project" sounds straightforward. But which merchant can the agent use? How much can it spend? What happens if it retries the same purchase? Telling an agent to be careful doesn't answer those questions. I wanted spending rules that sit outside the prompt, with a clear point where the agent has to ask for permission. That's why I built ActOnce Spend Gateway. You set the rules: purchase limits, trusted merchants, blocked categories and thresholds for human approval. The gateway checks purchase requests and returns a decision: approve, reject or ask you. It doesn't process payments or handle your card details. Your chosen payment tool handles the transaction. The core is MIT-licensed and runs locally, with duplicate detection, an approval queue and MCP support. There are also paid plans for hosted dashboards and team controls. My aim is to give agents useful independence while keeping people in charge of the money. I'd love to hear from other builders: what would you let an agent buy today, and what would you always want to approve yourself?
