Price.com Launches Agentic Shopping That Executes Purchases
Price.com launched "Buy with AI," an agent that scans retailers across the open web, applies discounts, and completes purchases without directing shoppers to merchant sites. The release, reported alongside Visa and Amazon moves, signals agents taking control of discovery and checkout, challenging storefront-led funnels. Retailers, payments networks and platforms must adopt new protocols, data integrations, and authorization flows to remain competitive.
