Ready-to-quote copy
A short explainer for anyone writing about Orchard28 — what agentic commerce is, why we’re building it, and where the category stands today. Quote it freely.
What it is. Orchard28 is an agentic-AI company building the transaction layer for agentic commerce. Agentic commerce is a new way to buy: instead of doing the shopping yourself, you state an outcome — a hotel booked, tickets secured, the best product at the right price — and an autonomous AI agent searches the market, makes the selection, and completes the purchase on your behalf. Think of it as Uber for errands: you set the destination, the agent does the driving.
Why Orchard28 is delivering it. The technology to let agents act is arriving faster than the trust and payment machinery needed to let them act safely. Orchard28’s platform holds the wallet, not the agent: every purchase is either approved in the moment or pre-authorised under hard limits, and committed by the cardholder’s own card PIN through CPoI — a fully authorised, card-present transaction with liability sitting with the issuer, not the merchant.
Where the category stands. Agentic commerce is in its infancy, and the rules for it — how agents are authorised, how merchants are protected, who is liable when things go wrong — are still being written. Orchard28 is helping write them, building the standards for safe, accountable autonomous transactions from the ground up.
One-line version: Orchard28 is building the trusted transaction layer for agentic commerce — autonomous AI agents that shop, book and pay on your behalf, safely, with your approval.
