IN THE SPOTLIGHT
AI goes shopping. Without you!

Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal are giving AI agents credit cards and permission to use them. Their new tools let agentic AIs skip the cart and go straight to purchase, based on structured prompts and permissions. Visa calls it Intelligent Commerce, while Mastercard is branding theirs Agent Pay. 

The key idea? AI won’t just recommend what to buy. It’ll buy it for you.

This isn’t just branding fluff. With 75% of e-commerce dropoff happening after “Add to Cart”, the play is clear: reduce friction, boost conversion. These new systems rely on tokenized cards, secure APIs, and programmable spending limits, enabling agents to transact autonomously and securely.

PayPal’s in the mix too, while OpenAI is now letting even free, logged-out ChatGPT users compare products, browse reviews, and click to purchase. Browsing is out. Instant, data-driven decisions are in.

If your product catalog isn’t machine-readable, it’s about to be invisible.

This isn’t the future of shopping. It’s how AI shops now.
