Cloudflare has launched a new service designed to help AI shopping agents identify themselves and complete transactions with merchants’ systems. According to reports, the offering combines a “permanent ID” capability with a wallet component so consumers can provide AI agents with tools needed to spend on their behalf. The “permanent ID” is intended to give AI agents a consistent identity when interacting with merchant agents, rather than relying on temporary identifiers. The wallet is positioned as the mechanism that enables AI agents to manage spending as part of shopping workflows. The overall aim is to make it easier for consumer-facing AI agents to securely connect to merchant environments and carry out purchases using a standardized identity and payment-related interface. The coverage emphasizes that the tools are built to support AI-to-AI commerce, where consumer AI agents coordinate with merchants’ agent systems. Both outlets describe the release as a product update from Cloudflare focused on enabling AI shopping transactions through more persistent identification and wallet-based spending.
