Global Study: 73% of Shoppers Using AI in Shopping Journey - But Merchants Face New Agentic Commerce Risks20.10.2025 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Riskified (NYSE: RSKD), a global leader in ecommerce fraud prevention and risk intelligence, today released findings from a survey highlighting the increased adoption of agentic shopping, and the rising threat it poses to merchants. Based on a global survey of more than 5,000 consumers, the research reveals a defining moment for ecommerce: nearly three in four shoppers (73%) are already using AI in their shopping journey. Shoppers are embracing AI assistants like ChatGPT for product ideas (45%), to summarize reviews (37%), and to compare prices (32%). While only 13% say they’ve completed a purchase after being referred by an AI assistant, 70% are at least somewhat comfortable with an AI agent making purchases on their behalf. More than half (58%) are likely to use these tools for gift shopping this year, marking the beginning of the first truly AI-powered holiday season, where convenience for consumers may come with heightened exposure for merchants who may bear the liability for this

The majority (82%) feel they are only somewhat prepared, not very prepared, or not prepared at all. Tech professionals clearly perceive AI-driven threats as the most concerning, yet other threats persist which pose risks to business continuity. Other than AI-driven threats, regulatory complexity and compliance risks (38%), supply chain vulnerabilities (37%), and the failure to detect and respond to a breach, causing irreparable harm to the business (35%) were als
