Until recently, online shoppers had to search for products on their own and manually enter their credit card information when ready to check out. That expectation is rapidly switching to one where they can tell an agent what they want and have that same agent research and then complete the purchase on their behalf.
Today, Constructor is partnering up with Stripe to launch Agentic Checkout, which lets shoppers interact with AI agents to ask questions, get personalized product recommendations, refine their choices, and securely check out — all within the same agentic conversation and in the same chat window.
This partnership fuses discovery and checkout into a single, seamless experience. Together, we plan to make personalized, agentic shopping easier than ever.
Before Agentic Checkout, the path a shopper took from discovering the right product to actually buying it was often lengthy, time-consuming, prone to distractions, and at times, frustrating.
Take a typical experience of someone looking for a dress shirt. They would dig through shirts until they found one they liked, only to then find out it doesn’t come in their size. So they continue searching until they find one that fits, then add it to their cart.
Right as they’re about to check out, they get distracted by any number of things — pop-ups about sales, other products to consider, and offers to join a mailing list. And then as they’re checking out, they mistype their credit card information. They either retry and click ‘buy’ or just don’t purchase, stuck in analysis paralysis as they wonder whether something else is more their style.
No matter a shopper’s needs, there are parts of their journey that are enjoyable, and others that are… not.
That’s why we’re partnering with Stripe. Constructor’s AI agents offer conversational interfaces that shoppers can quickly chat with to find the right product for them. They take feedback (“give me shirts like this, but in brighter colors and size M”) and answer any questions they have to make sure the products meet their needs.
And then once they find the product they love, Stripe removes everything that’s cumbersome about buying it — with one click, via Stripe Checkout or Pay with Link.
Our goal is to deliver personalized, agentic experiences that save time and headaches while driving conversions.
Constructor brings a wide range of agentic experiences to onsite ecommerce, from standalone agents like AI Shopping Agent and Product Insights Agent to agentic capabilities built into longstanding discovery channels like Search, Browse, and Recommendations.
Each experience is fueled by our Commerce Reasoning Engine, a single-brain core that learns from shopper behavior across a retailer’s channels to provide increasingly relevant recommendations.
Stripe provides the most secure and reliable payment point — via Stripe Checkout or Pay with Link — when shoppers are most ready to move forward.
Together, we help shoppers find and purchase products as seamlessly as possible. They can quickly move from an initial need to a confident decision, then act on that decision, all within the same interface.
Keeping end-to-end shopping within a single, continuous experience can also help retailers improve conversions. Baymard Institute found that 17% of shoppers have abandoned an order because checkout was too long or complicated, and roughly 70% of shopping carts are abandoned overall. Agentic Checkout eliminates another handoff by allowing shoppers to move from AI-assisted product discovery to payment without leaving the agent interface.
Constructor is the first company to offer Stripe-powered checkout directly within onsite shopping agents, and the capability is available globally. In its current state, Agentic Checkout works across Constructor’s AI Shopping Agent and Product Insights Agent.
For retailers already using Constructor’s AI agents, setup is designed to be straightforward. Customers can add Stripe Checkout or Pay with Link by updating Constructor’s UI library and adding their Stripe credentials to the configuration.
Retailers that don’t currently use Stripe can also enable Stripe-powered Agentic Checkout without replacing their existing payment setup elsewhere on their site.
Allowing payments directly within an AI agent is a major advancement in personalization, distraction-free interactivity, and more enjoyable shopping. Not only can online shoppers purchase the right products effortlessly and confidently, but retailers also benefit from higher conversions through the end-to-end agentic experience.
See how you can embrace the future of agentic commerce.
