This walks through the happy path end to end: link an agent, create a payment session, enter a card, and complete a purchase. Every command and output below is exactly what the CLI prints.
Steps marked You are done by the account owner (a human, in a browser). Everything else is run by the agent (or you, at a terminal).

​
Prerequisites

The CLI prints a link and exits immediately:
You: open that URL, sign in, and click Approve. Then wait for the approval to land:
Run prava status any time to confirm the agent is linked and active.

​
2. Create a payment session

You know the merchant and items, so create a session for the exact order:

​
3. Enter the card

You: open the Payment URL, enter your card in Prava’s secure page, and confirm. Meanwhile, the agent waits for the card to be tokenized (swapped for a one-time card number and code that stand in for the real card):
These credentials are single-use and short-lived: use them right away to complete the checkout. Don’t store or reuse them.

​
4. Complete the checkout

Use the token and cryptogram at the merchant’s checkout to finish the purchase. If you’re using agentic shopping (Prava discovered the product), the last step is a single command:
That’s the whole loop. 🎉
