# Insights from Shoptalk 2026: How agents are changing retail

**[Stripe](https://daily.dev/sources/stripe)** · 6 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Shoptalk 2026 surfaced three key themes around agentic commerce in retail: the need for a standard framework as brands experiment with AI-driven discovery, the expansion of agentic experiences beyond chat into native checkout and third-party surfaces, and the growing importance of brand trust as AI commoditizes product comparison. Retailers like Sephora, New Balance, and Tapestry shared live examples of loyalty data personalization, direct product feeds for AI discoverability, and brand investment strategies. Stripe promoted its Agentic Commerce Suite as infrastructure for syndicating product catalogs across AI surfaces and optimizing checkout conversion in agent-driven journeys.
