Presentations

Imagine a future where your customer never clicks “Buy Now.” Instead, they authorize an AI shopping agent to handle purchases for them — price hunting, comparing options, and executing payments automatically. Welcome to the world of agentic payments: autonomous transactions driven by AI, not people.

This session explores what happens when the buyer is a bot — and what it means for eCommerce merchants. You’ll learn how agentic payments could transform checkout into a background process, reshaping loyalty, margins, and the customer relationship. We’ll unpack the operational shifts needed to support AI-driven purchases, the risks of becoming invisible in a race to the cheapest price, and the new fraud and authentication challenges this brings.
