## Source summary

PaymentsJournal's podcast discussion features Nuvei SVP of AI and Data Science Hilla Peled and Javelin Strategy & Research merchant-payments director Don Apgar. The piece frames customer trust as a merchant concern as agentic commerce evolves, while saying open questions have not stopped the trend. It reports no new payment product, merchant deployment, transaction volume or measured adoption; this is industry context, not a launch or independently tested result.

## Why it matters

The discussion adds a merchant-payments perspective on trust and bounded delegation, but it documents no operational change. Keep it as contextual commentary rather than evidence that agentic checkout has reached broad deployment.

## Key numbers

No independently checkable key number was extracted from this report.
