This ensures consumer payment data is protected and kept up-to-date, which is critical for minimizing failed transactions in automated environments.
Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay, emphasized the need for trust and scalability, stating, “For agentic commerce to truly scale, it must deliver seamless, secure payments that both consumers and merchants can trust. Our credential management doesn’t just keep payment data safe — it keeps it up to date to mitigate failed transactions. By integrating with OpenAI’s Agentic Commerce Protocol, we’re empowering merchants to stay ahead as AI transforms the shopping experience.”
