AI is no longer just supporting commerce. It is starting to run it. Customers are increasingly delegating product discovery, comparison, and in the future even purchasing decisions to AI agents. This is already changing how products are found, evaluated, and selected.
In an agent-driven world, your storefront is no longer only designed for customers. It must also be understood, trusted, and acted on by machines. This shift is what defines agentic commerce.

Join Columbus and Shopify for a practical webinar where we move beyond vision and into execution. We will explore how commerce is being restructured around AI agents, and what this means for your business, your data, and your technology stack.
