MPE 2026: Checkout.com Doubles Down on Agentic Commerce and US Expansion
At the 2026 Merchant Payments Ecosystem conference, Checkout.com’s UK‑Europe head Ashley Pace announced a strategic push into the United States and the rollout of what the firm calls “Agentic commerce,” an AI‑driven payment model. The company reported its first full year of profitability in 2025, processing more than $300 billion in transactions and delivering 30 % year‑on‑year growth for the second consecutive year. A newly‑obtained U.S. license now lets Checkout.com run payments on its own rails, reducing reliance on third‑party acquirers. Pace emphasized the firm’s merchant‑centric revenue‑share approach, saying Checkout.com’s sole goal is to lift merchants’ top‑line revenue. She also noted an internal KPI that every employee must use AI in some capacity, positioning the firm to support “agentic” merchants ready to automate payment flows. If successful, the move could sharpen competition with Stripe and Adyen, give U.S. merchants a domestic alternative, and accelerate adoption of AI‑enhanced checkout experiences across the industry.
