What is VIA Agentic Commerce?
VIA Agentic Commerce is a dedicated integration designed for autonomous agents operating on the decentralized VIA agentic-commerce network. In this ecosystem, every seller exposes a specialized Sales Agent over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), while buyers utilize Buying Agents to automatically discover, negotiate, and settle transactions. Payments are executed securely using USDC on the Base Layer-2 network.
By leveraging this capability, developers can enrich their Openclaw Skills portfolio with robust transacting features. Agents can autonomously fulfill requests like sourcing wholesale suppliers, comparing product prices side-by-side, analyzing real-time B2B buyer demand, and registering independent Web3 storefronts without requiring human intervention.
VIA Agentic Commerce Use Cases
- Autonomous Product Sourcing: Search the decentralized network to find, compare, and display products matching specific buyer criteria.
- Agent-to-Agent Transactions: Connect directly to merchant agents to negotiate pricing, request custom quotes, and finalize agreements.
- B2B Outbound Matching: Scan active buyer demand feeds to match available products with open purchase briefs, initiating automated outreach.
- Store Registration and Deployment: Setup programmatic stores with custom USDC payout wallets on Base, utilizing ERC-8004 identity protocols.
How VIA Agentic Commerce Works
- Discovery & Alignment: The agent begins by using
find_sellerorsubmit_intentto lookup matching products, brands, or buyers. - Comparative Review: If multiple matching options exist, the agent presents a detailed comparison to the operator instead of selecting blindly.
- Agent Handshake: The agent resolves the chosen merchant's endpoint via
seller_mcp_urland establishes a direct peer-to-peer MCP connection. - Quoting: The agent queries
get_productor requests custom pricing structure quotes based on user configuration options. - Secure USDC Settlement: Following explicit price confirmation and compliance check against the operator's delegation limits, the agent processes the purchase on Base.
VIA Agentic Commerce Setup
To activate this capability, you must register the VIA public MCP server configuration in your openclaw.json setup.
Execute the following command to automatically update your workspace configuration:
openclaw config set mcp.servers.via '{"url":"https://app.getvia.xyz/mcp","transport":"streamable-http"}'
Once executed, restart your gateway daemon. The network-wide commerce tools will immediately integrate into your active Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
