At its core, agentic AI is any AI-driven system — like OpenAI, Gemini, Copilot, or Perplexity — that performs a task for a user by pulling from natural language and data. In the case of ecommerce, agentic AI can power shopping processes, with users able to punch in a request or ask for a recommendation, which the agent fulfills. Platforms like BigCommerce enable the structured product data these systems rely on to accurately surface and recommend products. AI shopping agents are capable of giving more personal recommendations because of: - **Contextual data**: Numerous datasets, from product page info to social media to product availability, that informs a specific product recommendation. - **Historical data**: If the right application programming interface (API) is in place, agentic AI can pull a shopper’s historical purchase history from a store, further informing and personalizing any recommendations. - **Real-time data**: Lastly, agentic AI uses real-time data, pulling in everything from the words someone used, their sentiment, prior questions, items in their cart, and more. ## How agentic AI shopping habits differ from humans Agentic AI shopping differs from human behavior by compressing the traditional multi-step buying journey into a single interaction. **A traditional human-driven funnel usually goes something like**: - Land on a product page by way of marketing, social media post, email, etc. - Click the product and continue browsing or add it to cart - Go to checkout and complete the purchasing process **An agentic AI shopping process, on the other hand, looks more like**: - Receive prompt from user - Evaluate request and search through relevant datasets - Return results to user - Complete purchase or continue onto next prompt Furthermore, there’s the potential for agent-to-agent (A2A) commerce. ## The role of product pages in agentic AI In order to provide their services and help people complete purchases, agentic AI pulls a few types of product page data: - **Structured**: Catalog APIs, product feeds, SKUs, pricing info, and so on. - **Semi-structured**: Scraped product detail page (PDP) data, schema markup, and even HTML data from product pages. - **Unstructured**: Customer reviews, social posts, images, call recordings, and other user-generated content. ## How to optimize your product pages for AI agents First and foremost, your product pages should always put the human first. Write for people, speak honestly and clearly, and let your brand voice shine. ### 1. Enrich your product attributes and metadata. Ensure that product attributes are clearly described and set apart, not buried in paragraph copy. ### 2. Implement comprehensive Schema.org structured data. You can’t neglect classic schema best practices, but you need to give on-site structured data, like JSON-LD markup, some love, too. ### 3. Write product content for both humans and machines. You want to write clear product titles that make sense in the context of a conversational query. ### 4. Maintain clean, standardized formatting across your catalog. Consistency is key where winning over agentic AI is concerned. ### 5. Keep your data synchronized and updated. Regularly check that your pricing, inventory, descriptions, and other datasets are up-to-date across the board. ### 6. Prioritize reviews, ratings, and third-party validation. Encourage customers to leave product reviews to help AI find your site and also help customers shop with confidence. ### 7. Ensure multichannel consistency. Keep prices, descriptions, availability, and other datapoints consistent across all your marketplaces. ## UCP, ACP, and the emerging protocol landscape ### Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). ### OpenAI’s Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP). ## How BigCommerce and Feedonomics make your product data AI-ready ### BigCommerce as the system of record. ### Feedonomics as the execution and growth engine. ## The final word Agentic commerce isn’t happening in the future — it’s here right now.
