Short answer
Agent-to-agent commerce is a model of transactions negotiated between a shopper's AI agent and a merchant's AI agent. The buyer's agent states needs and constraints, the seller's agent responds with products, prices, and terms, and humans set goals and approve purchases. It depends on shared protocols, trusted identity, and secure payments.
