Vendor profile, retailer
Walmart
In short
Under Walmart's plan, a shopper could allow an agent to spend up to a cap of their choosing, such as 50, 100 or 200 USD, or insist on approving each order. Each agent's orders will show separately under its Agent Profile, at the prices a person sees. Agents never receive card data.
