Glance and PayPal Bring AI-Powered Shopping and Checkout to Tens of Millions of U.S. Consumers

PayPal brings its agentic commerce services to Glance, providing the commerce capabilities that turn AI-powered product discovery into trusted transactions

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glance, an AI-powered personal shopping platform backed by global technology company InMobi, today announced an agentic commerce integration with PayPal, bringing real-time product data and native checkout directly to Glance for tens of millions of consumers in the United States. Now consumers can discover and visualize products, build a cart, and complete their purchase by leveraging PayPal’s trusted offerings without leaving the experience.

“The lines between where people discover, shop, and buy are disappearing,” said Mike Edmonds, Vice President of Agentic Commerce at PayPal. “Our goal is to help prepare merchants for a future where commerce can happen anywhere. As emerging AI shopping agents like Glance change how people shop, PayPal gives a reliable way to buy with confidence.”

Pre-installed on millions of phones by telecom operators and device manufacturers, and available for download on additional devices, Glance brings AI-powered shopping directly into consumers’ hands. From a single photo, shoppers using Glance can generate images of themselves to virtually try on clothes with an AI avatar and share looks with friends. When ready to purchase, shoppers can use PayPal to complete their purchase without being redirected to another site. As the only partner to provide native in-app checkout on Glance, PayPal is accelerating the path to purchase for consumers.

For retailers, the integration provides a simple way to extend their storefronts into Glance’s platform. PayPal’s agentic commerce services allow merchants to easily connect to multiple AI-powered shopping experiences through a single integration, surface real-time product information such as availability and pricing, and complete transactions while maintaining control of their customer relationship – enabling trusted commerce between consumers, merchants and AI agents.

“Glance meets consumers at the moment of inspiration, before they've even thought to search. Bringing native PayPal checkout into that experience means we can now carry consumers from the moment something catches their attention through purchase in the same flow,” said Mansi Jain, Chief Operating Officer at Glance. “That makes Glance more valuable to merchants because they can reach consumers earlier, help them evaluate what to buy, and give them a direct way to complete the transaction. As AI takes on more of the shopping journey, connecting discovery with commerce in the same experience becomes increasingly important.”

Glance is already embedded across more than 60 million mobile and CTV devices, through relationships with leading device manufacturers, including Samsung, Motorola, DirecTV, Google’s Android TV, and two of the top three U.S. mobile operators. With the addition of PayPal, Glance can bring full-stack agentic commerce to more merchants, connecting real-time product data, cart and checkout in one experience. Merchants interested in bringing their products to Glance’s AI-powered shopping experience can get started at paypal.ai.
