What is Agentic Commerce?
Agentic commerce represents a paradigm shift where AI agents act as intelligent intermediaries between customers and merchants. Instead of browsing websites directly, customers describe what they need to an AI assistant (like ChatGPT), which then searches across multiple stores, compares products, and facilitates purchases - all within a single conversation.
Why This Matters
Reduced Friction
Customers complete purchases without leaving their conversation, eliminating cart abandonment and reducing purchase friction.
Enhanced Discovery
AI matches products to intent, not just keywords, improving product discovery and recommendation accuracy.
New Sales Channel
Reach customers where they already are - in conversations with AI assistants they trust and use daily.
Trust & Transparency
AI provides unbiased recommendations based on product data and customer needs, building trust in the purchase process.
The OpenAI Agentic Checkout Protocol (ACP)
ACP is the standardized protocol that enables AI agents to interact with e-commerce platforms. It defines how product information should be structured, how checkout sessions are created and managed, and how payments are processed securely.
Key Components
Product Feed
Structured JSON feed of your products optimized for AI consumption, including rich metadata and attributes.
Checkout API
RESTful endpoints for creating and managing purchase sessions with real-time inventory and pricing.
Payment Integration
Secure payment processing through Stripe with PCI DSS compliance built-in.
Order Management
Automatic order creation in WooCommerce after successful payment with full customer details.
The Future of E-Commerce
As AI assistants become more integrated into daily life, agentic commerce will become the primary way customers discover and purchase products. Early adopters gain a significant competitive advantage.
