Agentic Commerce and AI -- PayPal's Bet on the Future of Shopping

PayPal is positioning itself as core infrastructure for "agentic commerce" -- a model where AI assistants autonomously discover, recommend, and purchase products on behalf of consumers. Through its Cymbio acquisition, partnerships with Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity, and its own AI-powered payment integrations, PayPal is building the rails for a world where shopping happens through AI agents rather than traditional checkout flows. This module covers what agentic commerce means, why PayPal is uniquely positioned for it, and how candidates can demonstrate they understand this emerging paradigm.
