Vikray · agentic commerce readiness for enterprise retail

Your next customer is an AI agent. Can it buy from you?

ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot are already shortlisting products and completing purchases for shoppers. Most enterprise storefronts silently fail their checks: blocked crawlers, unreadable catalogues, checkouts agents can't finish. Vikray scores every failure point with CommerceGrade and gives you the fix list, benchmarked against your competitors.

The problem

Agents don't browse. They test you, and move on in milliseconds.

A shopping agent doesn't see your campaign imagery or your brand story. It fetches your pages, reads your structured data, probes your checkout, and decides: include or skip. Most enterprise estates fail quietly, because nobody is watching the agent's side of the glass.

Blocked at the door

Bot rules written years ago now block the crawlers that feed AI answers and shopping indices. You can't be recommended by a model that can't read you.

Unreadable to machines

Specs in PDFs, prices that drift from feeds, broken JSON-LD. To an agent ranking on data quality, ambiguity equals exclusion.

Revenue declined as "fraud"

Legitimate agent purchases arrive on tokenized cards from datacentre IPs, and your fraud engine declines them. The leak never shows up in any report you currently run.

How it works

From free scan to agent-ready, in three stages.

Every stage is anchored to one number: your CommerceGrade, a 0–100 score of how ready your storefront is for AI agents, benchmarked against your category and re-measured as you improve.

STAGE 1 · FREE

External scan

We test your estate from the outside, exactly as an agent would: crawler access, UCP/ACP presence, structured-data validity, latency, checkout friction. No access, no install.

48 hours · scorecard + 3 headline findings
STAGE 2 · AUDIT

Full readiness audit

35 checks across six pillars, inside and out: data pipelines, fraud rules, PSP configuration, SCA strategy, measurement. Scored 0–100 and benchmarked against your category.

3–4 weeks · roadmap + exec readout
STAGE 3 · ENABLE

Enablement & benchmark

We run the fix list with your teams (protocol integration, agent-traffic analytics, fraud-rule tuning) and re-score you against competitors every quarter.

Why now

The rails were laid in the last nine months. Distribution is being decided this year.

SEP 2025

OpenAI + Stripe launch ACP. The first live agent-checkout specification, in ChatGPT.

NOV 2025

Mastercard Agent Pay rolls out to all US cardholders; Visa Intelligent Commerce completes live agent-initiated transactions.

JAN 2026

Google + Shopify announce UCP at NRF, with Walmart, Target, Visa, Mastercard and Amex behind it. Microsoft Copilot Checkout goes live.

APR 2026

AP2 moves to the FIDO Alliance. Agent payment authorization becomes a governed standard with sixty contributing organisations.

TODAY

Your competitors are enrolling. Agents build merchant trust cumulatively: the brands that are readable and transactable first get recommended first, and keep getting recommended.

Why Vikray

Built for the merchants the toggle-switch solutions can't help.

Enterprise-complex by design

Shopify merchants flip a switch. You run custom stacks, multiple regions, multiple PSPs and legacy fraud rules. That's the only kind of estate we audit.

UK & EU payments depth

The protocols are American-built and largely silent on SCA and PSD2 when the cardholder isn't in the session. We're not. Agent payments in Europe is our home ground.

Benchmarked, not just scored

Every scan feeds a growing category benchmark. You don't just learn your grade. You learn the gap to your category leader, re-measured every quarter.
