Most people think agentic commerce = ChatGPT buying you sneakers. The bigger opportunity is headless merchants.
@nlevine19 on @TokenizedPod:
"We see a much bigger opportunity: the next class of developers who maybe have never written a line of code in their life but are coming to this through something like Claude Code or Codex. They're gonna wanna get access to a bunch of different developer tools.
"Because they're maybe building a project on a weekend, they wanna buy things on a per usage basis. And oftentimes their agents are going to ultimately be the actor that's buying.
"There's gonna be a whole new class of what we're calling headless merchants — presented as an endpoint rather than a website with a sales team and long-term contract agreements."(a16z crypto)
