FAQ

Any purchase where an AI agent takes part in the flow – discovery, checkout, payment or after. Global Payments gives merchants the tools to verify and accept these transactions.

A person normally browses, decides and pays. In agentic commerce, an AI agent performs some or all of those steps within limits someone set in advance.

Agents built to mimic real shopping behavior can test stolen cards or exploit checkout flows faster than any person could. Spotting one takes visibility into the full customer journey, not just checkout.

Most merchants already see agent traffic, prepared or not. Readiness starts with visibility into who – or what – is transacting on your site.
