Inventory and order management
Pull stock levels from POS and ERP systems, then keep counts in sync across stores and channels.
AI agents for retail, with a browser they can use
Retail runs on systems that have no API. Browserbase gives your agents real cloud browsers that log into POS, ERPs, marketplaces, and supplier portals to complete workflows end to end. SOC 2 Type II certified.
The Problem
Retail AI agents have a reasoning problem solved, and an execution problem wide open
- POS and ERP systems with limited APIs, gated integrations, and licensing that punishes automation.
- Marketplace seller portals and vendor dashboards that require logins and human-style navigation for routine tasks.
- Storefronts and checkout flows protected by captchas, rate limits, and bot detection.
- Brittle RPA scripts that break the moment a vendor changes a button or adds a captcha.
- Internal browser infrastructure that becomes its own team to maintain across every store system.
The Solution
Browserbase is the browser execution layer for retail agents
- Real cloud browsers: your agent logs into POS, ERPs, marketplaces, and supplier portals exactly like a store associate or buyer would.
- Persistent authentication: cloud-stored sessions stay logged in across runs, no repeated MFA or credential re-entry.
- Built-in stealth: bypass anti-bot defenses on storefronts and marketplaces without per-site tuning.
- Built for orchestration: drop Browserbase under any agent framework, Stagehand, OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, 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 a retail 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 POS systems, ERPs, marketplaces, supplier portals, and any other retail system that lives behind a login. Agents log in, click, type, upload, and download exactly like a human operator would.
Is Browserbase secure enough for retail transaction data?
Yes. Browserbase is SOC 2 Type II certified. Browser sessions run in isolated environments with encryption at rest and in transit, and full audit logs of every action. Customer-managed credentials can be scoped per session, and high-stakes workflows like order approvals can be paired with human-in-the-loop review.
Why use browser automation instead of a POS or ERP API integration?
Most retail workflows still touch systems that have no public API, limited API coverage, or expensive integration tiers: marketplace seller dashboards, supplier portals, and legacy POS or ERP platforms. Browserbase fills that gap. It runs alongside your existing API integrations, handling the steps where the only interface is a browser.
Can my retail agent handle MFA on supplier and marketplace portals?
Yes. Persistent cloud sessions retain cookies and session state across runs, so MFA prompts are handled once and remembered. For portals that require MFA on every login, Browserbase supports human-in-the-loop workflows where a team member can approve the MFA step before the agent continues.
How does Browserbase compare to traditional retail RPA tools?
Traditional RPA tools rely on brittle screen coordinates and break when vendors update their interfaces. Browserbase runs real Chromium browsers with built-in stealth and AI-powered selectors that adapt when sites change. It also pairs naturally with LLM-based agents, so the agent can reason about what to do next, not just replay a recorded script.
Can a single agent run against many retail systems in parallel?
Yes. Browserbase supports parallel browser sessions, so a single agent or fleet of agents can run inventory checks, pricing updates, or supplier workflows across many portals at the same time. Each session is fully isolated.
