PayPal Enters UK AI Shopping App With Debenhams, as Shares Sit at $44.53

Summary
PayPal has joined Hey Savi and Debenhams to power the UK's first AI-driven agentic commerce experience, adding native in-app checkout to the fashion shopping app.
The tie-up puts PayPal directly inside product discovery, letting users move from AI-led search to payment without leaving the app in an emerging retail format.
Hey Savi launched in the UK earlier Tuesday as an iOS app spanning more than 10,000 brands, with Debenhams as a launch partner and PayPal handling purchases.
For PayPal, the rollout is part of a push to stay relevant in consumer payments as the stock trades at $44.53, down 23.4% this year and 37.2% over 12 months.
The key question now is whether embedded AI checkout gains enough user traction for PayPal to expand similar partnerships with other retailers and apps.
