Shopify opens checkout to browser-based AI agents
Shopify says browser agents can now reach the actual order button, with buyer authorization.
The new WebMCP checkout support lets agents read and update checkout fields, select delivery options, and submit purchases through Shopify merchants, including Shop Pay. Shopify says the tools are meant to avoid screenshotting or scraping pages built for humans. The rollout applies to all eligible Shopify merchants, according to staff product manager Gil Greenberg.
