Shopify adds WebMCP checkout support, letting browser AI agents complete purchases
Shopify announced that browser-based AI agents can now finish transactions on merchant checkout pages, including through Shop Pay, rather than just searching products and building carts. The update adds three tools—get_checkout, update_checkout, and complete_checkout—that let agents read and modify checkout details and submit orders once a buyer authorizes it. The feature is rolling out to all eligible Shopify merchants, according to staff product manager Gil Greenberg.
