ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol)
Protocol rail for secure agent-mediated commerce flows with explicit checkout and payment confirmation controls.
Solid choice for most workflows
You need your agent to handle real-world purchases in conversational AI like ChatGPT without custom integrations per merchant or exposing raw payment data.
Seamless US purchases from Etsy/Shopify now, expanding globally; robust security and audit logs, but requires merchant backend control over accepts/declines.
Scaling agentic commerce means avoiding N×M integration hell where every agent needs bespoke merchant hooks.
Powers Instant Checkout in ChatGPT reliably; flexible for physical/digital/subscriptions, but early ecosystem focused on Stripe/OpenAI partners.
You want agents to drive sales in AI interfaces while merchants retain full control as-of-record for fraud, taxes, and support.
Smooth conversational buys with fraud protection; works across processors but shines with Stripe; live with major merchants like Glossier.
Early Ecosystem Maturity
Primarily live for US ChatGPT with Etsy/Shopify; global/multi-agent expansion underway but not universal yet.
Merchant Control Required
Agents can't auto-complete—merchants must actively accept/decline each order and handle fulfillment; ignoring signals risks failed transactions.
Trust Breakdown
What It Actually Does
Enables agents to safely conduct transactions by providing a structured framework that requires explicit approval at checkout and payment stages, preventing accidental purchases.
