Worth a read! An important take on the Agentic commerce infrastructure getting built.
While, I disagree with the Amazon analogy (Shopify isn't owning the inventory or the customer relationship yet) there are some parallels in how they control the gate. Brands should pay attention to the terms & conditions:
From the article:
"The terms are: AI partners can override your checkout branding and customizations; your upsells, loyalty widgets, and abandoned cart automations may not fire; you remain fully liable for disputes even if the AI misrepresents your product; and opting out of checkout doesn’t mean opting out of visibility. Perhaps most telling: Shopify can add new AI partners at any time, and your continued use automatically constitutes acceptance of their terms."
