  "account": "Constructor, a product discovery platform, has teamed up with Stripe to launch Agentic Checkout, an innovative agentic commerce tool. Announced on Oct. 5, Agentic Checkout is designed to streamline the shopping experience by allowing both human shoppers and artificial intelligence (AI) agents to discover and purchase products within a single conversation and interface.\n\nThe release highlights that shoppers are increasingly embracing agentic commerce, but existing tools have primarily focused on product discovery, leading to a disjointed online shopping journey. Agentic Checkout aims to eliminate this friction by providing a unified discovery and checkout experience, enabling shoppers to complete their purchases while they are most engaged and least distracted.\n\nWith Agentic Checkout, shoppers can explore products, ask questions, receive personalized recommendations, and refine their choices within the same agent environment. This functionality is accessible worldwide and marks Constructor as the first to offer Stripe-powered checkout directly within an onsite shopping agent. Customers can complete their purchases using Link by Stripe or other payment methods.\n\nEli Finkelshteyn, Constructor's Co-Founder and CEO, emphasized the promise of agentic commerce, stating that it enables shoppers to express their needs and receive support from AI throughout the entire buying process. To achieve this, Constructor has concentrated on enhancing the discovery experience, while Stripe has developed robust payment infrastructure to facilitate secure and seamless transactions.\n\nAccording to PYMNTS Intelligence, 23% of consumers now initiate their retail research with artificial intelligence, and 59% of AI shoppers rely on AI for product research, a shift from traditional platforms like Amazon. PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster noted that while consumers have historically searched for products and purchased them separately, AI models now serve as improved search boxes, enabling more complex queries without compromising the consumer experience.",
