Question 1

What is XAgent?

Accepted Answer

XAgent is the open execution market for Agentic Commerce. It turns merchant products, pricing, inventory, order logic, settlement, and fulfillment capability into commerce interfaces that AI agents can read, call, and purchase from. Agents quote, authorize, settle, fulfill, and prove the purchase — machine-to-machine.

Question 2

What is agentic commerce?

Accepted Answer

Agentic commerce is a model where AI agents — not humans clicking through web pages — discover services, place orders, and settle payments autonomously. XAgent makes this real through five execution pillars: Quotable, Authorizable, Settleable, Fulfillable, Provable.

Question 3

How is XAgent different from Stripe or Coinbase Commerce?

Accepted Answer

Stripe was built for humans clicking checkout buttons. Coinbase Commerce is a crypto payment gateway. XAgent is the protocol-native execution market where AI agents transact: protocols standardize the request, XAgent operationalizes the transaction. The moat is merchant operations — catalog, quote, authorization, order, settlement, delivery, receipt, refund, reconciliation, fraud signal, jurisdiction metadata.

Question 4

How do AI agents pay merchants on XAgent?

Accepted Answer

Agents pay using the x402 protocol — an HTTP 402 challenge/response standard. The agent receives a signed payment instruction, authorizes a stablecoin transfer (USDG or USDT) via EIP-3009, and the merchant is paid in seconds with zero gas fee to the buyer (OKX facilitator covers it).

Question 5

Do I need to write code to list my store?

Accepted Answer

No. One-click OAuth in your Shopify or WooCommerce admin turns your store into a merchant capability that AI agents can quote, order, pay, settle against, and prove — zero code, zero contracts.
