Amazon and Visa are joining forces to offer tools and connections in the retailer’s web services marketplace that will let software developers and other companies create agentic commerce experiences, the companies said in a joint Monday press release. They didn’t say when exactly the tools would be available, and a spokesperson didn’t immediately comment on timing.
The e-commerce juggernaut and card network behemoth plan to connect developers “to a growing ecosystem of agentic commerce providers for next-generation reliable and secure payment experiences,” and they emphasized their goal is to allow AI agents to transact “autonomously” on behalf of consumers, according to the release.
Amazon and Visa are also partnering with other companies, including Expedia Group and Intuit, to make the agentic tools available for retail, travel and business-to-business applications, according to the release.
