Agentic Commerce made Simple
SimpleCheckout is the fastest way to add commerce to agent-driven apps
Commerce is at its biggest turning point since the birth of the Internet.
AI-powered applications are enabling a kind of commerce experience we’ve never had before. One where agents can understand intent, help users discover and compare products, and even check out on their behalf.. A wave of companies is already building toward this future. But to make it possible, they all need a new kind of infrastructure.
That’s why we built Simple Checkout: the foundation that makes agentic commerce easy. We provide the infrastructure that lets AI agents discover, compare, and purchase across merchants on behalf of their users.
The Changing Face of eCommerce
The shift toward agentic commerce it’s already underway. Industry leaders are laying the groundwork, from Merchants to Payment infrastructure.
Shopify has opened APIs for agents to interact directly with stores, Visa is building intelligent commerce rails, and PayPal sees agents, not websites, as the future of payments.
However, what excites us most is the new wave of startups building experiences that were never possible before:
Closai: digitizes your wardrobe and recommends new items based on what you already own.
Daydream: a personal shopping assistant that helps you discover and visualize clothing with AI.
Fitroom: an AI-powered virtual fitting room that lets you try on outfits online.
These are just a few of the companies redefining how fashion and commerce intersect. And while their user experiences are revolutionary, they all face the same challenge: they need infrastructure for catalogs, cart management, and checkout that was never designed for agents.
The Problems Behind the Promise
These new applications are building stunning user experiences, but behind the scenes many of them are reinventing the wheel.
To source products, they’re scraping and normalizing catalogs, stitching together fragmented data, and writing custom software just to keep their feeds up to date. It’s hard, it’s messy, and it’s not the work that makes their experiences unique.
When it comes to monetization, the path isn’t much easier.
Some rely on affiliate links, but that means breaking the experience, ssnding users elsewhere and suffering from lower conversion rates.
Others try to sell directly, but then they face the bigger challenge: managing carts that span multiple merchants. Most don’t want to become merchants of record.
Automating checkouts is fragile, since bots are often flagged or blocked. And even if they succeed, they’re forced to navigate a thicket of taxes, shipping, compliance, and PCI requirements that eat up precious resources.
The irony is that these teams already own the most valuable piece: the relationship with their users. They have the audiences, the intent data, and the differentiated experiences. Yet they’re forced to spend huge amounts of time and resources wrestling with infrastructure problems that have nothing to do with the vision they’re trying to deliver.
What they really need is a foundation built for agentic commerce: a set of APIs that gives them access to clean, unified catalogs; manages payment credentials securely; and takes care of the heavy lifting of payments, taxes, and compliance.
With that foundation in place, these companies can finally focus on what they do best: building the next generation of commerce experiences.
Making Agentic Commerce Simple
That’s why we built Simple Checkout. We provide the infrastructure that lets AI agents discover, compare, and purchase across merchants without companies having to rebuild the plumbing themselves.
With Simple Checkout, companies can:
Tap into unified, up-to-date catalogs.
Manage cards and credentials securely, without becoming merchants of record.
Handle checkout on behalf of their users seamlessly in the background.
Our goal is simple: to empower the new generation of commerce applications to focus on what they do, best building experiences users love, while we take care of everything else.
Agentic commerce will be the biggest shift in commerce since the Internet. The wave has already started. And we’re here to provide the foundation that makes it possible.
