In September, we introduced the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), the first live standard for programmatic commerce between AI agents and businesses.  

Although ACP sets industry standards for these transactions, integrating with Agentic Commerce can still be challenging. You need to set up and manage public ACP endpoints with appropriate versioning and access controls, handle each agency’s specific catalog and API needs, and integrate with your current commerce system. To AI agent workflows, supporting a new AI agent can take up to six months.  

Today, we are launching the Agentic Commerce Suite, a new tool to help your business work with AI agents. It makes it easier to sell through AI agents by making your products easier to find, streamlining checkout, and letting you accept Agentic payments with just one integration.  

To start, connect your product catalog to Stripe. Then, in the Stripe dashboard, choose which AI agents you want to sell through. Stripe will handle discovery, checkout, payments, and fraud detection, and send your order events. So, you can keep using your current commerce system. The Agentic Commerce Suite is modular, so you can select the features that best fit your business.  

Top brands are already joining the Agentic Commerce Suite, including URBN (Anthropologie, Free People, and Urban Outfitters), Etsy, Ashley Furniture, Coach, Kate Spade, Nectar, Revolve, Halara, and ABT Electronics.  

At Etsy, our responsibility is to ensure that our sellers’ network can be discovered wherever buyers choose to shop. Stripe’s Agentic Commerce Suite offers an integration solution that makes this easier than ever, enabling us to surface sellers’ unique items to buyers across platforms, says Rafe Colburn, Etsy’s Chief Product and Technology Officer.  

The Agentic Commerce suite will be rolled out to businesses via the Stripe dashboard and Stripe APIs; through commerce platforms such as Wix, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and CommerceTools; and via Omni-Channel platforms such as Akeneo, Cymbio, LogicBroker, Mirakl, Pipe17, and Rithum.

Below is a closer look at how the Agentic Commerce Suite works.  

Help AI Agents Find Your Products 

Many businesses ask us, “How do I get discovered by AI agents?” They want to reach customers through new agent channels but don’t want to create custom features for each agent, manage multiple catalogs and APIs, or keep up with changing standards.  

The Agentic Commerce Suite provides a dedicated hosted AI ACP endpoint. This lets you share up-to-date product price and availability details with AI agents while making only small changes to your current systems. You can upload your product catalog to Stripe or connect it from the top product syndicators. Then share your product information with each AI agent with a single click. You can start accepting payments from any supported agent.  

Make Checkout Easier And Keep Control Of Your Customer Experience 

Once your products are discoverable, your current commerce setup must handle taxes, shipping, order management, and fulfillment for agent transactions. Normally, this means building and maintaining a complicated connection between your systems and each AI agent.  

The Agentic Commerce suite uses Stripe’s Checkout Sessions API to handle checkout steps, including shipping and taxes. You can let Stripe handle these tasks with built-in products like Stripe Tax, or use your own system to upload tax codes. Check inventory in real-time and set shipping rates, all with only small changes to your setup.  

This suppleness continues after the purchase. When a customer finishes an agent transaction, you can use your usual order and fulfillment process. As the merchant of record, you will keep full control over your customer relationships, including handling refunds and disputes.  

Accept Agentic payments and stay protected from new types of fraud. 

Agentic Commerce is changing how fraud is detected. Traditional fraud signals designed for human buyers are becoming less effective since AI agents behave differently and can be mistaken for fraud. New types of fraud can also emerge as bad actors may use agents to place risky orders or circumvent standard protections. Without the right systems, businesses that accept agentic payments may spend more time and money fighting fraud, leading to lost revenue, increased chargebacks, and reduced buyer trust.  

The Agentic Commerce Suite helps protect businesses by handling shared payment tokens (SPTs), a new way to pay in Agentic Commerce. AI agents use SPTs to make payments with a buyer’s saved payment method, but without sharing payment details. Each token can be set for a specific seller, limited by time and amount, and tracked through its use. This helps prevent unauthorized operations and lowers the chance of disputes.  

On Stripe, SPTs can work with Stripe Radar to share important risk signals, including:  

• Fraudulent disputes  

• Card testing  

• Stolen cards  

• Card declines  

• Other signs of fraud  

Stripe Radar uses transaction and payment details to help distinguish trustworthy agents from low-trust bots.
