As generative AI and intelligent agents (AI Agents) rapidly gain adoption across commercial applications, consumer shopping and transaction behaviors are shifting from page-based interactions to conversation-driven experiences. In this transformation, payments—long a critical link in the transaction chain—must also evolve.
Oceanpayment today announces the launch of its AI Agent Payment Solution, designed specifically for AI Agent and conversational commerce scenarios. The solution delivers secure, compliant payment capabilities that enable merchants to seamlessly embed payments into AI-driven transaction flows, supporting the next generation of digital commerce experiences.
AI Agents Are Reshaping How Transactions Begin
From AI shopping assistants and enterprise customer service or marketing bots, to embedded payments within social platforms and automated procurement systems, AI Agents are increasingly becoming the initiators of transactions rather than simple assistants.
According to market research, by 2030, AI agent–driven commerce in the U.S. B2C retail market is expected to generate approximately USD 0.9–1 trillion in revenue, with the global market projected to reach USD 3–5 trillion¹.
Unlike traditional e-commerce workflows:
- Consumers discover, compare, and decide on products through conversation
- AI Agents initiate orders and payments on behalf of users
- Transactions become more continuous and contextual, placing new demands on payment systems
Payments are no longer just a button on a checkout page. They must operate natively within AI workflows, support agent-initiated execution, and maintain robust security, authorization, and risk controls.
