The future of agentic commerce is here

Stripe will host a half-day event in Seattle on June 23 focused on agentic commerce, featuring a keynote from Microsoft and sessions with partners Klarna, Logicbroker, and Orium. The event aims to help ecommerce and product leaders prepare for AI-driven purchasing, where customers buy products directly through chat interfaces like ChatGPT's Instant Checkout. Stripe is also accepting applications for a program that helps businesses sell through AI agents, as a new survey of 1,810 shoppers across six countries reveals shifting consumer behaviors toward AI involvement and new payment expectations.

Join Stripe in Seattle on June 23 for a half-day session 1:00 pm-5:00 pm on how AI is changing commerce and what your team can do now to prepare. AI-powered discovery is already reshaping how customers find and evaluate products. Agentic purchasing is emerging next. This event is designed to help ecommerce, product, customer experience, and billing leaders understand what matters now across discoverability, catalog readiness, checkout, trust, and fraud. The afternoon will include a keynote from Microsoft, a panel with leaders from across the ecosystem, guided discussions and hands-on experiences with our partners Klarna, Logicbroker and Orium designed to move attendees from awareness to action. Attendees will leave with: - A clearer understanding of what agentic commerce means for their business - A practical framework for assessing readiness and prioritizing next steps - Real-world perspectives from Stripe, customers, and ecosystem partners - Ideas they can apply now across discovery, content, checkout, and risk Alpenglow is a members-only-style gathering place for people who value connection, creativity, and a beautifully considered experience — part social hub, part event space, entirely its own thing.

The design speaks for itself — warm, interactive, and genuinely distinctive. A new survey of 1,810 shoppers across Australia, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States shows a shift in how people choose and purchase. They have new reasons for going in store rather than online, new preferences when it comes to AI involvement, and new expectations for payment methods at checkout. Many retailers are trying to meet these expectations by layering point solutions as needs arise, but this approach can lead to duplicated data, fragmented journeys, and inconsistent checkout experiences. Learn four findings retailers can use now to capitalize on these changing shopper behaviors. With the launch of in-chat purchasing through interfaces like Instant Checkout in ChatGPT, high-intent shoppers can now buy products directly where they’re discovering them. While this provides an opportunity for sellers to monetize a new channel, agentic commerce also challenges one of the basic tenets of ecommerce—that bot traffic is bad—in ways that require sellers to rethink how they handle nearly every aspect of their checkouts. Read this guide to understand some of the most common questions we get about agentic commerce and what we’re building to help them succeed. Transaction fees are only one factor to consider when evaluating payment solutions. A provider with low up-front costs can quickly become a high-cost liability when factoring in fraud losses, unexpected outages, and customer churn. The right payments infrastructure should protect against these costs while creating new revenue streams and reducing operational complexity. Explore how modern payment features can expand market reach, accelerate cash flow, and eliminate inefficiencies that drain your resources. Businesses interested in selling through AI agents—including OpenAI’s Instant Checkout in ChatGPT—can join the waitlist. Stripe is accepting applications from businesses selling through agents, platforms enabling merchants, and AI companies embedding commerce. The program helps companies test new distribution channels and prepare for a future where agent-driven purchasing is mainstream. Skip to content to-content
