Ecommerce and AI Shopping

Checkout

Also known as: purchase completion

Collecting and confirming the information needed to place and pay for an order.

A practical example

A customer chooses delivery and confirms the total and payment method.

What should I know?

Preparing a cart does not automatically authorize a payment charge.

Ecommerce and AI Shopping in practice

Prices, variants, and availability must match current offerings. Separate product discovery, cart creation, and purchase confirmation. Integrations need clear delivery, payment, and order handoff rules.
