Aeion Commerce Architecture
9 AI agents, 23 payment-provider adapters via the billing module, and native Bridge POS hardware integration — all sharing one schema with the rest of your business data. End-to-end request flow from cart → tokenized charge → async fraud scoring → automatic rollback on payment failure.

async job queue handles fraud scoring, fulfillment routing, and inventory updates without blocking checkout
How the Engine Is Organized
Commerce is organized around four responsibility areas, each composed of collections + business logic + (where relevant) an AI agent.
End-to-End Order Flow
What happens between "user clicks Pay" and "order fulfilled."
The 9 AI Agents — How They Compose
Each agent is a focused, single-purpose worker that reacts to real commerce events (or runs on a schedule) and never blocks the customer-facing flow it's watching.
Bridge POS Hardware Integration
Native POS hardware support ships through the Aeion Bridge daemon — a lightweight local companion app that talks to physical devices.
Multi-Store + Multi-Currency
A single Aeion deployment can run multiple storefronts — each with its own domain, branding, currency, and payment providers, while optionally sharing (or scoping) the underlying catalog.
