Agent Commerce

Your next customer is not going to open your app.

Agent Commerce exposes your catalogue, availability, and payment rails as a machine-readable interface, so an AI agent acting for a customer or a buyer can transact directly, under limits you set and against the same ledger as every other channel.

A catalogue agents can actually read

Items, modifiers, prices, availability, and lead times published as structured data with stable identifiers. An agent does not have to scrape a menu page and guess.

Delegated authority, with a ceiling

A customer or a buyer grants an agent a mandate: what it may buy, up to what amount, how often, and until when. The mandate is the credential, and it can be revoked mid-flight.

Settlement on the same ledger

An agent order settles through the same processor and lands in the same deposit as a counter sale, so autonomous revenue is not a second set of books to reconcile.

Every action attributable

Which agent, acting for whom, under which mandate, at what price, and what it was quoted. Written to the audit trail like any other privileged action.

Procurement in both directions

The same interface lets your own agents restock from suppliers who publish it, so a par level breach can become a purchase order without a person in the loop.

Priced for machines

Rate limits, quote expiry, and negotiated contract pricing per counterparty, so high-frequency agent traffic does not get treated like a human browsing session.

Agent Commerce questions

What is agentic commerce?

Agentic commerce is a transaction completed by an AI agent acting on a person or company's behalf, without that person opening an app or a website. The agent reads a machine-readable catalogue, checks availability, and pays under a mandate the principal granted it in advance.

How does Prinvia stop an agent from overspending?

An agent never holds an open payment credential. It holds a mandate that caps the amount per transaction and per period, restricts which categories it may buy, and expires. The mandate can be revoked at any time, including during an in-flight order.

Do I need to build anything to accept agent orders?

No. If your catalogue and availability already live in Prinvia, the machine-readable interface is generated from them. You choose which items are agent-purchasable and what limits apply.

How are agent orders reconciled?

Identically to every other channel. An agent order settles through the same processor, posts to the same ledger, and appears in the same deposit, tagged with the agent and mandate that placed it.

What happens if an agent orders something you cannot fulfil?

Availability and lead time are part of the quote, and quotes expire. If stock moves between quote and commit the order is refused rather than accepted and cancelled later, because an agent retrying is cheaper than a human handling a refund.
