About this tag
The merchant of record tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about how AI-powered checkout systems, such as Microsoft's Copilot Checkout, handle payment processing and liability. In these systems, the merchant remains the merchant of record, meaning they retain responsibility for transactions, refunds, and compliance, even when purchases are completed inside a chat interface. This tag explores the implications for retailers using platforms like Shopify, PayPal, and Stripe, and how agentic commerce shifts the checkout experience while keeping the merchant as the official transaction party.
