Short answer
Agentic checkout is a purchase completed by an AI agent on a shopper's behalf through a merchant's machine-readable checkout, rather than by the person clicking through a website. The agent selects products, applies payment and shipping details and submits the order within limits the shopper approves. It requires structured product data and secure, tokenized payments.
