Proposing a Trusted Agentic Commerce Protocol
Forter
"AI Agents have barely begun to meet their potential. Across Forter’s network of over 280,000 merchants, we’ve seen a 700% increase in the number of sites where agents are browsing. While Agentic transactions might start as a fraction of total purchases, merchants don’t know who will be behind them. They won’t be using or augmenting their data sets. And if it’s a highly valuable customer behind the agent interaction, this disintermediation can lead to a rapid loss of control and revenue."
