Microsoft buys you for the checkout.
Your agent is still the best seller in commerce. Inside a general agent, selling is one skill among thousands.
The Buyer: Microsoft pays 30% over market. We want Shop Pay and your payment licenses. The rest is packaging.
The Buyer: Merchants won't notice the handover. Copilot does their selling now.
Outcome: Lost as a feature
Selling became one chore inside general agents. You were the best at that chore, so Microsoft bought you as a feature.
