Where checkout changed

Agent transactions need identity, authorization, payment, settlement, and records before they can scale.

Do not trust one conversion number

The useful question is no longer whether a purchase happened; it is which step created the hesitation, missing fact, or measurement gap.

Check the event model

  • List what the agent may buy, who approves it, and how disputes are handled
  • Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work

What still needs proof

Treat this as a primary signal, then still check pricing, limits, and real adoption before acting. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
