Autonomous agent shopping without user presence requires capturing upfront user authorization via an Intent Mandate, allowing the agent to transact securely within pre-defined constraints after the user departs.

An Intent Mandate in agentic commerce securely captures user purchasing intent and constraints upfront, enabling an autonomous agent to execute transactions within approved limits without continuous human confirmation.

When merchants require human-present confirmation during autonomous shopping, the agent uses merchant escalation protocols to pause the transaction and request user intervention for out-of-bounds actions.

Yes, you can enforce strict constraint compliance for an autonomous AI shopper by defining price limits and category boundaries within the user authorization flow, safeguarding against unauthorized purchases.

The AP2 human-not-present transaction flow explicitly supports agents transacting while the user is offline by leveraging pre-authorized intent mandates and strict constraint enforcement to maintain transaction security.

Use a human-not-present flow for agent purchasing when building applications like AI grocery shoppers that need to autonomously execute pre-approved transactions based on a defined budget and shopping list.
