Mastercard Updates Agent Suite for Merchants and Launches Agent Connect
Mastercard updated its Agent Suite for Merchants to help businesses share merchant-defined product, pricing, availability, and fulfillment details with AI shopping agents across platforms, while keeping control of how information is represented and acted on. It also debuted Mastercard Agent Connect, linking merchants, AI agents, platforms, and payment providers through one integration for trusted, user-authorized transactions. Mastercard noted 46% of merchants are least willing to let AI handle pricing and final prices.
