Stripe president says checkout pages ‘will go away’ as AI commerce expands
Stripe president Will Gaybrick isn't sure what full agentic commerce looks like, but even the least ambitious future doesn't have checkout pages.
Stripe president Will Gaybrick forecasted that checkout pages will become obsolete as artificial intelligence commerce expands. AI agents are set to radically reshape online shopping, according to the top executive. During a recent podcast, Gaybrick expressed the belief that shoppers may soon simply say "buy it" on a product display page instead of navigating through checkout pages.
He acknowledged that there are still open questions regarding the exact form agentic commerce will take, but stated that even a less ambitious version of agentic commerce will signify the end of checkout pages. Stripe is laying the groundwork for such advancements, having shifted its perspective from being a payments firm to a multi-product platform.
Stripe CEO Patrick Collison echoed this sentiment, stating that all commerce will become agentic, meaning users would entrust AI with some purchasing authority for an expedited shopping experience.
