AEON, a settlement layer for the AI economy, has launched Agentic Checkout, enabling AI agents to autonomously search for products, build shopping carts, and complete purchases across e-commerce platforms including Shopify and Amazon.
The system is powered by the AEON AI Card, which provides AI agents with controlled spending capabilities while keeping user payment credentials secure. The AI Card functions as a single-use or limited-budget payment method backed by Visa or Mastercard infrastructure, bridging on-chain assets with traditional commerce.
How Agentic Checkout Works
Users interact with AI agents through a conversational interface to describe what they need. The agent searches for suitable products, builds a shopping cart, and completes the transaction after user authorization, without exposing the user's primary payment credentials or wallet.
The system integrates with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). Security measures include preventing full card numbers and security codes from entering conversation logs and verifying uncertain payment states before retries to prevent duplicate charges.
Commerce Ecosystem Access
Through Shopify, agents can access over 3 million active storefronts across 175+ countries with more than a billion products spanning apparel, home, beauty, electronics, and books. Amazon and Travala are identified as next platforms for expansion into mass-market retail and travel inventory.
