Voice of MPE

Commerce is changing. What merchants expect? Podcast w/Shopify.

In this episode, we dive into the rise of AI-powered commerce and explore what happens when agents start shopping on behalf of consumers. From payment orchestration to merchant readiness, we unpack the infrastructure being built right now to support this new era.

We also explore the UCP protocol launched with Google, designed to translate the “language of payments” between all parties involved, and how Shopify is building the orchestration layer that could connect countless AI agents across commerce ecosystems.

These are the conversations shaping the future of payments and commerce.
