Agentic Commerce

From Human Shoppers to AI Shoppers: The Next Era of Commerce

Most of the internet is non-human today.

AI agents are actively searching, browsing, and buying online. If your site only speaks to human eyes, you're invisible to the future of commerce. Turn your storefront into an agent-ready powerhouse with Cloudflare.

Let Agents Shop Your Store, On Your Terms

AI agents don't browse like humans. They consume markdown, read llms.txt files, parse structured JSON, and connect through live protocols like MCP. If your catalog only speaks HTML, you're invisible to the next generation of shoppers. Cloudflare translates your product pages into agent-native formats on the fly and lets you host MCP servers on Workers so agents can query your catalog, check inventory, and browse products in real time.

Allow for Payments. Let Agents Buy Securely.

An agent found your product, browsed your catalog, and the customer wants to buy. Now what? Multiple protocols are emerging. You need a partner who works across all of them.

What You Need to Do

A step-by-step checklist to make your store fully agent-ready across the entire commerce journey.

Turn on Bot Management

Detect and classify all automated traffic hitting your store. Bot Management scores every visitor using machine learning and behavioral signals to separate legitimate AI shopping agents from scrapers and attackers.

Discover

Enable Web Bot Auth

Go beyond detection with cryptographic identity. Web Bot Auth lets AI agents authenticate themselves using signed HTTP messages, so you know exactly who's visiting and whether they're authorized. It's the authentication layer behind Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol, Mastercard Agent Pay, and American Express's agentic commerce program.

Discover

Host MCP Servers on Workers

Go beyond static content with live, two-way agent connections. Host MCP servers on Workers to let agents query your catalog in real time, check inventory, compare prices, and facilitate checkouts. MCP servers also serve as the foundation for enabling emerging commerce protocols.

Browse Transact

Accept Secure Agent Payments

Adopt the Trusted Agent Protocol to recognize verified agents acting on behalf of real customers. Let agents pay programmatically over the open x402 protocol, no human checkout flow required. Navigate and onboard to protocols like UCP, AP2, and Agent Pay.

Transact

Build Your Own Storefront Agent

Ship a shopping assistant in minutes with the Agents SDK on Workers. Stateful, globally distributed, zero infra. Power it with Workers AI + AI Gateway for model routing, caching, and spend control. Orchestrate reliable multi-step checkouts with Workflows and Durable Objects.
