Agentic Commerce is a new terminology that describes the next evolution of e-commerce — where AI agents like ChatGPT can find, understand, and buy products directly from merchants. It’s brand new, just launched by OpenAI and Stripe under something called the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP). ACP is an open standard that defines how product data, checkouts, and payments flow securely between merchants and AI platforms. It’s the foundation that will let AI handle shopping on behalf of people — and we believe it will completely reshape online commerce.

Agentic-first means we’re not adapting to AI later — we’re building for it now. Traditional e-commerce was built for human eyes and website clicks. Agentic-first means building for AI agents: data first, structured products, and clear communication that makes your catalog understandable to tools like ChatGPT. It’s the shift from designing for browsers to designing for AI intermediaries — and it’s happening fast.

Right now, if you want your products to show up in ChatGPT, there’s no easy way to do it unless you have a dev team and work directly with OpenAI and Stripe. We’re building a bridge for small merchants — a simple platform where you can upload your products, and we handle everything behind the scenes: the product feeds, delegated payments, and ACP integration. Our goal is to make you discoverable in ChatGPT’s new shopping flow — without code, setup, or approvals.

Good question. Technically, they’re already connected to ChatGPT through ACP — but as a seller, you don’t get to control or even see how your products appear there. Those are platform-level integrations. You can’t tweak your feed, update metadata, or even know if your items show up at all. We’re building for the individual merchant — giving you visibility, ownership, and the ability to plug directly into AI-driven commerce without waiting for the big platforms to open that door.

Not yet — and we want to be honest about that. Our first version focuses on connecting small merchants through a shared agentic marketplace that we run. You’ll still have your own products, payments, and customers, but we’ll handle the technical layer that talks to ChatGPT. Once we prove this works and merchants start making real sales, we’ll move toward giving everyone their own agentic storefronts — the 'Shopify for the AI era' we’re aiming for.

We’re at the very beginning — Phase 0. We’re testing the idea, collecting early merchants, and validating the loop between ChatGPT and real sellers. Next, we’ll build the merchant dashboard (where you can sign up, onboard with Stripe, and add products). After that, we’ll connect the backend to ACP and launch a small private beta to see real agentic purchases happen inside ChatGPT. It’s early, and yes — a bit of a gamble. But we’ve been following the AI revolution since the start, and we’re convinced this is where commerce is going.

Yes — and honestly, that’s probably where all of this is ultimately heading. Right now, we’re focused on the foundation: connecting merchants with ChatGPT and enabling the first agentic sales to happen. But A2A — where AI agents trade, compare prices, or manage orders between each other — will be the next evolution. We’re starting with the basics to make that future possible, and we’ll see how the ecosystem evolves. It’s a huge space — and that’s exactly what makes it exciting.
