The platform for programmatic checkout

Shopping, purchasing, and transactional workflows, built into any experience.

CartAI is the API that adds product discovery, checkout, and payments to the experiences you already provide to your customers.

CartAI - #2 Product of the Day | Product Hunt
The category

A specialized layer at a specialized intersection.

Browser automation and agentic payments are both vast, important categories. Neither is built specifically for the workflows where a transaction has to actually clear. CartAI is.

Browser automation

Tools that navigate the open web
General-purpose web automation. Built to handle any task — research, scraping, form-filling, data extraction, navigation across the open web.
Scope: the universe of browser-based tasks. Transactional reliability is one slice of a much broader remit.
Programmable transactions, made reliable
AI-driven browser execution and payment infrastructure fused into a single primitive. Built specifically for workflows where a transaction has to clear — and not built for workflows where one doesn't.
Scope: specialized by design. The constraint is the moat.

Agentic payments

Authentication and payment rails for agents
The identity, trust, and rails layer that lets agents transact safely on behalf of users — KYA, signed credentials, agent-issued payment instruments.
Scope: the rails that make agentic payments trustable. Pairs with an execution layer that can navigate to the payment.

Both adjacent categories solve real problems. CartAI solves the one between them: the transaction has to clear. A specialist primitive built for that single, non-negotiable outcome.

Simplify the complexity

One integration. Transactions that actually clear.

Building across merchants means navigating different catalogs, carts, checkout flows, payment requirements, and trust infrastructure. CartAI handles that complexity behind a single API, so you can build the experience you want without building and maintaining individual merchant integrations.

01 · Flexible by design

Built for the way you work.

Every experience is different.

CartAI adapts to the products, purchasing flows, and requirements of your business, so you can use the capabilities you need without forcing customers into a predefined journey.

  • Flexible workflows
  • Configurable capabilities
  • Reliable execution
02 · Payments without the burden

Payments, handled securely.

Enable purchasing without owning the rails.

CartAI provides secure payment collection and vaulting, with support for emerging agentic payment protocols, so you can enable purchasing without taking on the underlying payment infrastructure yourself.

  • PCI-compliant
  • Tokenized payments
  • Agentic payment protocols
03 · Built to transact across the web

Built to transact across the web.

Identified and processed, not blocked.

CartAI works with the trust and bot-management infrastructure used by major merchants, enabling legitimate automated transactions to be identified and processed rather than blocked.

  • Signed agent identity
  • KYA
  • Bot-management integrations
The platform

One API. Four powerful capabilities.

Choose the capabilities your experience needs. From product discovery and checkout to payments and monetization, CartAI gives you the building blocks to create the experience that works for your business.

Signed, verified, allowed. CartAI operates inside the trust infrastructure, not around it.

Three ways to integrate

Build it in, plug it in, or drop it in.

Your team chooses the depth. Integrate the API directly, connect the MCP server to an existing AI agent, or embed the hosted cart with no development at all. Every path runs on the same platform.

Product · Hosted Cart

CartAI Hosted Cart

Drop-in checkout for surfaces that never had one. Variant selection, addresses, payment, confirmation — embed it in one line. Same primitive underneath; the transaction still clears the same way.

  • Drop-in component or iframe
  • Variants, addresses, payment built in
  • White-label theming
  • Powered by the same API underneath
Three modes

Automate, embed, or enable.

Every CartAI use case maps to one of three modes — replace a manual transactional process, embed transactions into a new application, or add transactions to a surface that never had them.
