Common questions about agents that buy.

Short answers to what store owners and developers ask most. We say plainly what isn't solved yet.

The real question is control.

Whether AI agents will browse stores isn't in doubt: they already do. The question is how stores, buyers, and developers make that useful, controlled, and easy to explain.

Questions worth asking.

What is agentic commerce?

It is commerce in which an AI agent acts on a person or business's instruction to discover products, compare options, prepare a cart, and initiate a purchase.

Does this mean every bot can buy?

No. A useful agent-commerce system distinguishes a buying agent with explicit intent from ordinary crawling, abuse, or automation that a merchant does not support.

What does a merchant control?

The merchant still controls product data, availability, policies, checkout conditions, and which purchases can be completed. Better access should not require giving up control.

What does mandate0 do?

mandate0 shows store owners which agents visit and what they search for, and gives agents a controlled way to buy.

Start with a store or agent that is ready to be found.
