AI shopping agents: why can they find a product yet still fail to complete checkout? Retailers, airlines, and banks restrict their access because of commercial agreements, security, and anti-bot controls.

We also review Meta’s and Shopify’s agreements with merchants and how anti-bot defenses can block legitimate tasks. Finding a product does not guarantee that an agent can buy it.
