Agentic Commerce

Commerce flows where AI agents discover products, compare options, negotiate, purchase, or support post-purchase actions.

Plain English

The shopper may be an approved agent acting for a person or business.

Example

A shopping assistant compares approved vendors, selects an item within budget, and starts checkout with user-approved payment constraints.

Why it matters

Commerce is one of the first areas where agent identity, consent, checkout, and audit trails become product requirements.
