Purchase prices, margins, stock levels and product IP belong under Swiss law. The reference implementation keeps them at Infomaniakin Geneva and Zurich, while reasoning runs at an EU-certified cloud provider in the Frankfurt region. What matters is not where the server stands but which law binds the provider. The US CLOUD Actdoes not reach into the critical zone.
The category is defined in one place. The Definition of Agentic Commerce Operationslives in the category paper v2.0, published by DevQonin Zurich. This site does not repeat it. It answers the questions Swiss operators ask next: which payment routes must the agent know, what does the revFADP require, where does the data live, and how do I know after three months whether it paid off?
Enterprise operators with multi-store setups, compliance load and tenders have their own edition at agentic-commerce-ops.com.
Every hour in which a payment route fails silently or a price indexer serves stale prices costs a share of that market. A dashboard shows it on Friday. An ACO agent acts on Tuesday at 07:14 within the policy the operator has set.
The operator sets the framework and policies, the agent acts autonomously within them, every action is logged, abort at any time. Without a policy the agent waits for a click. That satisfies human oversight under EU AI Act Article 14for shops with EU customers.
