A Growing Share of Shopping Intent Now Lives Somewhere Your Storefront Can't See.
Inside an AI chat. An AI-mode search result. An assistant on a phone or a desktop. Those agents don't need HTML, screens, or forms. They need machine-friendly, real-time data they can query, trust, and act on. If your stack isn't wired to speak their language, you're invisible in the moment of intent.
WITHOUT AN AGENT-NATIVE INTERFACE:
- Your commerce becomes invisible to agent buyers
- Differentiation collapses into price comparison
- Transactions move outside your control
A Ready-to-Deploy Interaction Layer for Agent-Ready Commerce
The Agentic Commerce Interface lets AI agents discover, decide, negotiate, and transact with your commerce systems through structured, semantic, real-time APIs.
Being readily available to integrate with your existing commerce platform, it also integrates with all major protocols - UCP, MCP, ACP, A2A, AP2 - and when a new one emerges, ACI is the abstraction that absorbs the change. This protocol-agnostic approach is enabled by the platform's MACH-X architecture.
Intelligent Discovery
Agents query your catalog semantically - attributes, eligibility, sustainability, availability - without scraping HTML pages.
Explainable, Contextual Pricing
Agents retrieve customer specific prices in real-time: contracts, tiers, promotions, and constraints.
Real-Time Availability & Fulfillment
Agents access live ATP, sourcing options, delivery windows, and costs in milliseconds.
Structured Negotiation
Agents negotiate within defined authority limits, escalating only when human approval is required.
Secure Agent Checkout
Orders are placed programmatically with authentication, authorization, and auditability.
Post-Purchase Execution
Order tracking, change requests, returns, and SLAs are handled through governed APIs.
AI agents act. You stay the Merchant of Record.
You keep the customer relationship, the order data, the brand. We bring the agents and the protocol plumbing.
The Agent Layer You Can Deploy Without a Replatform
The Agentic Commerce Interface is native to Infosys Equinox but also runs on top of any other commerce platform you already have. Agentic commerce doesn't mean a forklift. It means an integration.

FAQs
Yes. ACI translates your commerce stack into agent-native services that AI assistants - including ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Claude - can use to discover products, retrieve contextual pricing, negotiate within set limits, and place orders. It speaks the major agent protocols (MCP, UCP, ACP, A2A, AP2), so agents transact directly rather than through a separate integration for each surface.
A buyer agent sends a request - for example, best price for 500 units with EU delivery. ACI fetches tier pricing and contract terms from your pricing engine and returns a structured breakdown with availability. The buyer agent can counter, and ACI negotiates within the authority limits you define, escalating to a human approver only when a threshold is exceeded.
No. ACI is native to Infosys Equinox but runs on top of any commerce platform you already have, connecting to your existing product, pricing, inventory and order services. Agentic commerce is an integration, not a forklift replatform.
ACI ships with a fully managed lifecycle and no DIY infrastructure. Infosys Equinox runs the interface layer and the protocol plumbing, while you keep the customer relationship, the order data and the brand.
ACI is the outward-facing interface that lets external AI buyer agents discover, negotiate and transact with your commerce stack. Commerce Agent Studio is the internal, no-code environment where your business teams build and govern their own agents - for pricing, catalog, inventory, loyalty and more. They share the same underlying agent architecture but serve different users.
No. The agent is the channel, not the customer - your brand stays the merchant of record and retains the order data, customer relationship and brand.
The Shopping Interfaces are Multiplying. Your Agent Layer Shouldn't.
One interface for enabling agentic commerce on every AI surface that matters today - and every one that ships next.
