Glance Partners with PayPal

Glance, providers of a personal shopping platform backed by InMobi, has integrated its agentic commerce technology with PayPal, bringing real-time product data and native checkout directly to Glance to help consumers discover and visualize products, build carts, and complete purchases.

"The lines between where people discover, shop, and buy are disappearing," said Mike Edmonds, vice president of agentic commerce at PayPal, in a statement. "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."

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 purchases without being redirected to another site.

The integration lets retailers extend their storefronts into Glance's platform. PayPal's agentic commerce services allow merchants to connect to multiple shopping experiences, surface real-time product information such as availability and pricing, and complete transactions while maintaining control of their customer relationship.

"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 of Glance, in a statement. "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."
