Shopify will let shoppers connect any AI agent to their Shop account to buy on their behalf, without a partnership integration. Agents get access to over a billion listings, checkout runs through one-click Shop Pay, and every purchase needs buyer approval.

• Agents can browse over 1 billion listings in Shopify's catalog
• Setup goes through a Shop account, checkout via one-click Shop Pay
• Shoppers can set rules like budget limits and fast shipping only
• Each purchase must be approved by the buyer
