COLIBRIX ONE, a payments infrastructure platform for global ecommerce, and BitGN, a technology innovation organisation advancing agentic AI for commerce and payments, today announced the launch of the Agentic Ecommerce Challenge, a global developer competition opening 30 May 2026.
Data from Capital One Shopping Research indicates that 80% of digital retailers have integrated AI into their infrastructure, with 69% realising measurable revenue gains and 72% achieving significant operational cost reductions.
As agentic AI evolves from basic automation toward autonomous decision-making, digital retailers are increasingly delegating core workflows, from product discovery to fraud prevention, to autonomous agents.
For these businesses, the primary barrier is no longer adoption, but rather the identification of agent solutions sufficiently reliable to be entrusted with live commercial operations.
Bridging Builders and Businesses
COLIBRIX ONE’s clients are growing ecommerce businesses seeking to expand into global markets.
While demand for AI-driven infrastructure is rising, most businesses face the same practical barrier: there is no safe environment to evaluate how an agent performs under real commercial pressure before deployment.
The Agentic Ecommerce Challenge addresses this directly.
As lead partner, COLIBRIX ONE supports a sandbox environment where developers build and stress-test autonomous agents against scenarios drawn from live payment and retail operations.
Businesses gain access to evaluated agent solutions at no cost, before committing to deployment. Developers gain exposure to real commercial requirements and the opportunity to connect with potential partners.
“AI agents are beginning to take over the workflows at the core of ecommerce: checkout decisions, dispute resolution, authentication recovery, routing optimisation. For COLIBRIX ONE, supporting the infrastructure that enables this transition is not a side initiative. It is directly relevant to what our clients need today,”
said Arturs Kononovs, Deputy Head of Sales.
