Walmart is introducing dedicated profiles for AI agents and a gateway so they can shop on customers' behalf within spending limits the customers set.

Agent Profiles, launching within a month, let customers authorize each agent separately and see its purchases apart from their own. Customers can require approval for every purchase or set a limit, such as $50, $100 or $200, and delete the profile at any time. Agents will see the same prices as humans on Walmart.com, with offers and fees shown before purchase. Walmart is also publishing terms for AI agents.
