Enterprises looking to sell goods and services online are waiting for the backbone of agentic commerce to be hashed out; but PayPal is hoping its new features will bridge the gap.

The payments company is launching a discoverability solution that allows enterprises to make its product available on any chat platform, regardless of the model or agent payment protocol. 

PayPal, which is a participant in Google’s Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), found that it can leverage its relationship with merchants and enterprises to help pave the way for an easier transition into agentic commerce and offer flexibility that will benefit the ecosystem.
