# Agentic Commerce Overview

Agentic Commerce is a new model for enabling AI systems, like autonomous agents or LLMs, to securely make decisions and take actions in commerce flows. Instead of people shopping online using a typical browser or app-based e-commerce experience, software agents can now collect data, tokenize it, trigger payments, and interface with third-party APIs on behalf of users.

VGS provides AI and Agentic providers the secure infrastructure they need to collect, tokenize, store, and share payment credentials **without ever handling raw sensitive data**.
