Show 289 - Risks, Readiness and the Road to Agentic Commerce: Insights from MPE Berlin - Part 5

Recorded live at MPE Berlin in partnership with Ecommpay, this explores how agentic commerce is evolving from early experimentation into a multi‑layered shift that will reshape everything from product discovery to checkout design. Russell Goldsmith spoke with the following guests: 1/ Daniel Kornitzer, Head of Global Partnerships, Ebanx 2/ Sandra Mianda, Founder & CEO, Paypr.work 3/ Marco Conte, VP of Product, AI Data & Insights, Ixopay 4/ Kestas Saulis, Head of Payments, Nord Security 5/ Vishal Shukla, Lead product Manager, Tipico Our guests unpack the spectrum of agentic behaviour, from simple autofill and curated recommendations to full delegation and even anticipation, and what this means for merchants navigating new risk models, liability questions and the need for certified, trusted agents acting on behalf of consumers. We also dive into the practical realities: how merchants must rethink catalogue structure for machine‑readability, why frameworks, standards and protocols are essential before agent‑to‑merchant interactions can scale, and how PSPs will shoulder much of the heavy lifting in building the infrastructure that makes agentic commerce safe, interoperable and compliant. Our guests debate whether early adopters will gain an edge, what failure modes may emerge as agents behave more like autonomous buyers, and why sectors like travel may see the first meaningful breakthroughs. A must‑listen for anyone tracking the future of e‑commerce, AI‑driven purchasing, merchant infrastructure or payment orchestration, and for anyone curious about how agentic commerce will move from hype to real‑world adoption over the next decade.
