Agentic Commerce

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

AI agents are already searching, browsing, and buying on behalf of real customers. If your storefront only speaks to human eyes, you're invisible to them. Cloudflare makes your store agent-ready; discoverable to the agents you want, protected from the ones you don't, and ready to transact.

Let Agents Shop Your Store, On Your Terms

AI agents don't browse like people. They read markdown, parse llms.txt files, consume structured JSON, and connect through live protocols like MCP. If your catalog only speaks HTML, the next generation of shoppers can't see it. 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 is ready to buy. The ecosystem is moving fast, with trusted standards like Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol, Mastercard Agent Pay, x402, UCP, and AP2 all advancing agentic payments. Cloudflare gives you one foundation that supports them, so verified agents can pay programmatically without a human checkout flow — and you're ready to adopt each new standard as it arrives.

What You Need to Do

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

Turn on Bot Management

Detect and classify every automated visitor. Bot Management scores traffic with machine learning and behavioral signals, separating legitimate 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.
