Are consumers ready to let robots pay on their behalf? Not completely, says Jonathan Lesieur from Worldpay, now Global Payments, citing its global consumer study on agentic commerce. His advice: don't get ahead of yourself. Test and learn, choose a partner that is ready for agentic commerce, and expect a semi-autonomous mode first, where people still validate payments and authentication, especially in Europe, with differences in China and the US. Meanwhile, the whole ecosystem is getting ready to push agent-initiated transactions.
Discretion isn’t a feature we sell. It’s how the product is built.
