🙄 Representative. Representative! REPRESENTATIVE! REPRESENTATIVE YOU STUPID CLANKER, MOTHER... 🤬!

Once agents transact, the design question moves from checkout UX to what an agent is authorised to commit to, and how that authority gets bounded

The really interesting shift happens when the agent isn’t just the front door to commerce, but the customer. Give it a budget and an objective, then let it discover, evaluate, and pay for the services it needs.

The shopping part is exciting, but the payment layer is where agentic commerce gets real. Identity, authorization, and trust can’t be an afterthought.

The useful piece is Agent Connect as one pipe, not another storefront. AgentFi still needs the user’s authorization and a spend rule that holds at checkout.

The future of commerce is shifting from browsing to action. AI agents could make shopping more seamless, but the real opportunity is connecting discovery, trust, and payments into one experience.

Sorry, I couldn’t find how you use stablecoins for AI agents? There’s no way you do this on fiat tails.

Genuine question: what stops a misbehaving agent in Agent Connect from opening pages it never should? We use database of 40M domains each domain with up to 28+ page types like login, checkout, identified to prevent agent going rogue. Do you use similar allow list at URL level?

ens integrated?

Mastercard Agent Connect is a single integration so merchants, AI shopping agents, platforms, and payment providers can discover products, build carts, and settle with user-authorized credentials. Agent Suite for Merchants is the catalog/control side. U.S. rollout first.

Interesting move. As AI agents start handling commerce, the underlying connectivity and infrastructure will need to keep up with machine-speed transactions.

payment, identity and trust infrastructure that lets agents transact safely at scale Well done team!

Agentic commerce is taking shape

Wow, Sound amazing
