Authentication for retail and e-commerce. For the AI agents your teams run, and the shoppers who sign in.
Tie every pricing, support and stock agent to an employee, check each action before it runs, and sign shoppers in without a password.
AI agent authentication
In her stock assistant, Dana asks it to rebalance trail runners before the weekend. Hawcx checks each tool call: reading inventory and transferring 240 pairs are allowed; a $68,400 purchase order is over the $50,000 limit, so it is held for Maya, the planning lead, who approves it; changing the supplier’s payment terms is outside the agent’s limit and is rejected.
Every agent answers to a person.Every shopper signs in without a password.
- Agents your employees use
Each one acts as the employee who uses it, with no shared keys and nothing to steal.
- Agents your teams build
Pricing, support and stock agents work within limits, and wait for a person when it matters.
- Checkout without a password
Shoppers verify once, then their trusted device signs them in automatically, so login never stands between them and the order.
AI agent authentication
Agents that price, refund and restock.Each one checked before it acts.
Every agent answers to an employee, and each action into your systems is checked against your policy before it runs. Here’s what your team sees.
Approvals where your team works
A deep markdown waits in the channel your policy names.
Refund limits in your help desk
Small refunds run. Larger ones go to a person.
Agents no one registered
Found, then enrolled or denied. One switch stops them all.
Every action on the record
From pricing to payroll, with the employee each agent acts for.
Passwordless authentication
Checkout without a password.On every screen they shop on.
Shoppers verify once with an email or SMS code, a QR scan or a push. From then on their device signs them in with its own key, automatically. There’s nothing to forget, phish or reset.
In your app
On a trusted device, returning shoppers are signed in automatically.
On a new device
They verify once, with the method you choose. Then that device is trusted too.

Retail questions, answered
How do retailers control what their AI agents can do?
Each agent answers to the employee it works for, and every tool call is checked against your policy before it runs, from a price change to a refund. Routine actions run, sensitive ones wait for a person, and anything beyond the agent’s limit is turned down.
Does Hawcx secure shoppers’ own AI agents?
No. Checkout by a shopper’s own agent is being built by payment networks and checkout providers. Hawcx secures the agents your teams run and the people who sign in, shoppers and staff.
Can we see which AI agent changed a price?
Yes. Every action an agent attempts is recorded against the agent and the employee it answers to, whether it ran, was held or was turned down.
Can shoppers check out without a password?
Yes. Shoppers verify once with an email or SMS code, a QR scan or a push, and from then on their trusted device signs them in automatically. Hawcx asks for MFA again only on a new device or when a risk rule trips. It works on web and mobile storefronts through SDKs for iOS, Android, Web, React, React Native and Flutter.
Why choose Hawcx over social logins for retail?
Hawcx keeps sign-in first-party, so shopper data and the relationship stay with you rather than with an ad platform. Shoppers still get a one-tap sign-in.
Does Hawcx detect bots or fraud at checkout?
No. Hawcx doesn’t score traffic or transactions for risk, so it isn’t a replacement for bot management or fraud screening. Shoppers who sign in with Hawcx have no password for a bot to replay.
