In designated merchant scenarios in Hong Kong, AI agents can search for applicable discounts based on users’ eligible Visa cards and spending preferences, and complete purchases on behalf of users within preset transaction limits and permissions. The first pilot merchant is the Bruce Lee Club Ltd online store.

This pilot demonstrates that AI e-commerce is advancing from assisted search and recommendations toward controlled agent-driven ordering and payment.
