Where checkout changed
Agentic commerce is moving product discovery closer to checkout, so pages need to separate recommendation, add-to-cart, and payment confirmation.
Place automatic, confirmation-required, and never-automatic actions in the same table so buyers know what they are delegating.
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
- Add authorization levels to `agentic-commerce-checklist`: recommend, add to cart, pay, refund, and dispute
- Keep the test narrow: one priority product or checkout flow before expanding recommendation, authorization, payment, and support work
What still needs proof
Unclear authorization makes AI shopping feel like uncontrolled payment or untraceable delegation. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
