PayPal is set to acquire Cymbio as it moves to expand its agentic commerce services across AI-powered shopping platforms. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The acquisition builds on PayPal’s existing partnership with Cymbio, which has supported its agentic commerce services.
PayPal said its agentic commerce services and checkout options are available for merchants on Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity, with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini app and AI Mode coming soon.
Cymbio’s team and technology will support Store Sync, a PayPal service that makes merchants’ product data discoverable and routes orders to existing fulfilment and management systems.
PayPal said merchants will remain the merchant of record and retain customer relationships and control over their brand.
Abercrombie & Fitch, Fabletics, Ashley Furniture, Newegg and Adorama are currently live with Store Sync on Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity.
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Cymbio works with brands on multi-channel commerce enablement, including marketplaces.
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
“PayPal has established itself as a leading commerce partner for merchants looking to sell within top AI platforms. Acquiring Cymbio’s technology and team will enhance our agentic commerce capabilities and accelerate the expansion to more of our merchants.
By making their product catalogs discoverable on AI surfaces, merchants can increase sales while expanding product choice to the millions of consumers shopping on AI platforms today.”
said Michelle Gill, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Small Business and Financial Services at PayPal.
