Product discovery and research
Browse storefronts and marketplaces, compare specs and reviews, and return structured product data the agent can reason over.
AI agents for ecommerce, with a browser they can use
Storefronts, marketplaces, seller portals, and checkout flows live behind logins, carts, and anti-bot defenses. Browserbase gives your agents real cloud browsers that navigate every step from product discovery to purchase. SOC 2 Type II certified.
The Problem
Ecommerce AI agents have reasoning solved, and execution wide open
- Storefronts and marketplaces that block automated traffic with captchas, rate limits, and bot detection.
- Carts, checkouts, and accounts that only work through a real browser with cookies, sessions, and a saved payment method.
- Seller portals and merchant dashboards that require logins, MFA, and human-style navigation to manage listings and orders.
- Brittle scraping scripts that break the moment a product page layout, search filter, or checkout flow changes.
- Internal browser infrastructure that becomes its own team to maintain across thousands of shopping sessions.
The Solution
Browserbase is the browser execution layer for ecommerce agents
- Real cloud browsers: your agent shops, compares, and checks out exactly like a human shopper would.
- Built-in stealth and captcha handling: bypass anti-bot defenses on storefronts and marketplaces without per-site tuning.
- Persistent authentication: cloud-stored sessions stay logged in to buyer accounts and seller portals across runs.
- Parallel sessions: run thousands of concurrent shopping or monitoring sessions, each fully isolated.
- Built for orchestration: drop Browserbase under any agent framework, Stagehand, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, Vercel AI SDK, or your own.
- SOC 2 Type II: enterprise-grade controls with isolated sessions, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit-ready logs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Browserbase's role in an ecommerce AI agent stack?
Browserbase is the browser execution layer. Your agent framework handles reasoning and orchestration, and Browserbase provides the cloud browsers the agent uses to interact with storefronts, marketplaces, seller portals, and checkout flows. Agents log in, search, click, type, add to cart, and submit forms exactly like a human shopper or merchant would.
Why use browser automation instead of an ecommerce API?
Many ecommerce surfaces have no public API, expensive integration tiers, or coverage gaps for the workflows that matter most: real-time competitor pricing, marketplace seller dashboards, promotional campaigns, and end-to-end checkout. Browserbase fills that gap. It runs alongside your existing API integrations and handles the steps where the only interface is a browser.
Can my agent handle captchas and bot detection on shopping sites?
Yes. Browserbase ships with built-in stealth mode, captcha solving, and residential proxy support so your agent looks and behaves like a real shopper. Sessions run real Chromium browsers with authentic fingerprints, which gets through anti-bot defenses on most major storefronts and marketplaces.
