Stripe recently announced that the company is launching a new Agentic Commerce Suite to help businesses find success in the era of AI-driven ecommerce. It’s a simple platform that lets ecommerce brands sell effortlessly across multiple AI agents.
This platform offers a single and secure way for businesses to boost product discoverability, simplify the checkout process, fight back against fraud, and so much more.
Introducing the Agentic Commerce Suite
In a recent blog post, Stripe introduced the Agentic Commerce Suite, which is a solution that helps merchants sell through multiple AI agents. While Stripe’s Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) offers shared technical language between businesses and agents, each agent has its own integration and onboarding requirements.
This Agentic Commerce Suite removes this complexity and instead offers brands a single low-code integration. Simply put, this simplifies the process of companies listing products on AI platforms, while still giving them full control over their products, fulfillment, and more.
Many leading brands are already onboarding the suite, and companies interested in using it are able to join a waitlist.
Getting Started
To get started, all you need to do is connect your product catalog to Stripe, and then select in the dashboard which AI agents you want to sell through. From there, Stripe handles the rest. However, the platform is modular, so you still maintain full control and can pick and choose the types of features within the suite that you want to you, and which you don’t.
Boosting Product Discoverability
Speaking of features, one of the main highlights of this Agentic Commerce Suite is that it helps improve product discoverability within AI. The suite lets you rapidly share price, product, and availability data with AI agents, without having to make major changes within your system.
It’s easy to connect your product catalog to Stripe, and once your product details are sent to each agent, your products are discoverable.
Streamlining Checkouts
Stripe’s Agentic Commerce Suite is powered by Stripe’s Checkout Sessions API, which helps merchants with many parts of the checkout process, such as taxes and shipping. You can either use your existing ecommerce stack for this (as long as it can handle agentic transactions) or let Stripe manage it all on your behalf.
Even your post-purchase decisions are more flexible, as once a customer makes an agentic transaction, you’re free to use your existing fulfillment process, and you always maintain full control of your relationship with the customer, as well as things like refunds and disputes.
Protecting Against Fraud
To help companies operate more securely and mitigate fraud, the Agentic Commerce Suite uses Shared Payment Tokens (SPTs) for all payments. AI agents will use these tokens to initiate payments from a buyer’s saved payment method without exposing any credentials.
However, traceability is still there, as every token can be observed throughout its lifecycle and scoped to a specific seller, to ensure that agents aren’t taking any unauthorized action. These SPTs can also be powered by Stripe Radar, the company’s fraud detection, to share risk signals that can help separate high-quality and trustworthy agents and low-trust bots to protect sensitive information.
