Where the workflow shifted
Agentic commerce suite, AI agents, payments, inventory, and merchant integration show payment providers packaging capabilities for agent channels.
Merchants need separate attribution, order source, support responsibility, and authorization records rather than only conversion counts.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it clarifies the buying path, not when it adds another isolated commerce feature.
Check permissions and failure
- Record source, authorization, recommendation reason, product version, and refund path for agent orders
- Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work
What still needs proof
If agent orders blend into normal orders, disputes become difficult to diagnose. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
