The Future of AI Shopping and Payments

Google recently launched the Universal Commerce Protocol. This system helps AI agents talk to websites and handle payments more easily. They also introduced a new hub called Universal Cart to keep your shopping in one place.

Traffic from AI tools to retail websites has exploded over the past year. People are using smart bots to find products and compare prices faster than before. This shift means businesses need a better way to process these automated orders.

Moving payment logic to the base layer gives merchants more control over how AI interacts with their stores. It creates a clearer way for businesses to manage automated sales. This change is essential as AI shopping becomes part of our daily lives.
