Agentic commerce means an AI agent searches, compares and, with your approval, buys products on your behalf.
Example
You say “Order me running shoes in size 42 under 100 euros”, and the agent shows you three offers to confirm.
For pros
In 2025 open protocols were presented, such as the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) and the Agentic Commerce Protocol, which handle mandates, payment approvals and proof between agent, merchant and payment provider. Liability, withdrawal rights and fraud are open questions. Always approve purchases yourself and set spending limits.
