Shopify now allows AI agents to complete full purchases

Shopify has updated its platform to enable browser-based AI agents to complete entire purchases on merchant sites. This expands their capabilities beyond just searching for products and adding items to carts. New tools like `get_checkout`, `update_checkout`, and `complete_checkout` allow agents to inspect and modify checkout details, then submit the transaction with the buyer's authorization.

Why it matters

This means AI assistants can now handle the entire shopping process for you, from browsing to payment, potentially saving time and simplifying online purchases for consumers and businesses alike.
