Merchant Payments Ecosystem, Berlin (2026)

26/08/2026

Everyone is talking about agentic payments.

But what if the bigger opportunity is 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

Payments has no shortage of data. The real shift comes when that data gains context — and context turns into decisions and action.

As 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗹 puts it:
“𝘐’𝘮 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.”

In the latest 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝘄𝗮𝘆𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲, Arthur joins Dwayne to unpack payment intelligence, agentic commerce, tokenisation and the future of European payment sovereignty.

What happens when the customer is no longer the one making the purchase?

As agentic AI moves closer to commerce, merchants may soon be engaging not only with people — but with AI agents searching, choosing and paying on their behalf.

And that could change much more than the checkout.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮❓ 𝗟𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆❓ 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁❓

At MPE 2026, Dr. Ruth Wandhöfer joined Dwayne Gefferie at MPE Live to explore what this shift could mean for merchants — and why the opportunity around AI needs to be matched by an equally serious conversation about risk, resilience and security.

Her message? 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀, 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆.

What if your next customer never visits your website?

They ask an AI agent instead.

To search. Compare. Shortlist. Recommend.

For merchants, that changes what 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 could mean.

It may no longer be enough for products to be visible and understandable to people. 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱, 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

And preparing for that shift may be less about deploying the most advanced AI — and more about 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆.

The checkout may disappear.

But consent can’t.

That’s the real challenge of agentic commerce.

As AI agents begin to search, choose and pay on our behalf, merchants face a new question:
What happens when the payment is right — but the purchase is wrong❓

The answer isn’t to resist automation. It’s to build controlled autonomy: clear permissions, traceable consent and boundaries around what an agent can actually do.

And there’s another shift coming:
Your API may become part of your brand.

Because in agentic commerce, you’re no longer selling only to humans. You’re selling to the agents acting for them.

The winners won’t be those who automate the fastest.
They’ll be those who know where automation should stop.

For years, merchants have optimised digital commerce around a simple assumption:
Customers interact directly with brands.

But what happens when AI starts sitting between merchants and consumers?

At MPE 2026 Berlin, industry leaders explored how AI could reshape product discovery, customer journeys, payment infrastructure, and the future role of ecommerce platforms.

The discussion raised questions that many businesses are only beginning to consider.

Featuring insights from Maria Parpou (Mastercard), Christopher von den Hoff (𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀), and Fiennes Davey (𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗰), moderated by Geoff Barraclough (𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀).

What if merchants are preparing for the future of fraud using yesterday's playbook❓

At MPE 2026 Berlin, one question sparked a lively debate among payment, fraud, risk, and data leaders:

𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼-𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲?

The answer wasn't as straightforward as you might think.

As AI transforms commerce, fraud is becoming more sophisticated, more automated, and harder to distinguish from legitimate customer behaviour.

In our conversation, Ugne shared how payabl. focus on all-in-one payment solutions, and why “building for the hype” is not the goal.

also came up as one of the biggest topics in payments right now. As Ugne put it, it can be a double-edged sword, especially when it comes to payment acceptance.

🚨 Your next customer may not be human

And that is just one signal of a much bigger transformation reshaping payments.

At , one thing became clear:

The industry is moving beyond incremental innovation.

It is entering a new era defined by 5 structural shifts:
• AI agents moving from assistance to ex*****on — with insights from 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀
• Local payment ecosystems gaining influence across Europe — explored by 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹
• Trust becoming the foundation of intelligent commerce — highlighted by 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲
• Flexible, modular infrastructure replacing lock-in — discussed by 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘂
• Payments evolving from transactions into decision-making — shared by 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗳𝗳

These are not isolated trends.

Together, they are redefining how merchants, providers, and consumers will experience commerce.
