AgenticCommerce.Pro - Your Gateway to Intelligent Commerce
AgenticCommerce.Pro is the premier community platform dedicated to Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) technology. We provide comprehensive resources, expert insights, and practical guidance for building the future of intelligent commerce powered by OpenAI and Stripe.
Open and interoperable
ACP provides standardized commerce interaction protocols for any compliant agents and merchants, ensuring cross-platform compatibility and composability.
User control and privacy
Role-based architecture and payload encryption keep sensitive payment data private while preserving end-user authority.
Verifiable intent
Intent and cart mandates provide tamper-evident, user-signed proof that an agent is acting on explicit instructions.
Clear accountability
Cryptographic audit trails help issuers, merchants, and networks resolve disputes with transparent evidence.
Payment-method agnostic
The protocol supports card-based payments and is designed to add real-time transfer and digital currency rails for future payment technology development.
Reference implementations
Python and Android samples demonstrate ACP roles interacting end-to-end without requiring live payment providers.

Why agents need ACP
Today's payment infrastructure assumes a human is present to approve every purchase. When autonomous agents act on a user's behalf, the ecosystem must answer:
Authorization
What verifiable proof shows the user empowered the agent for a specific purchase?
Authenticity
How can merchants be sure an agent's order reflects the user's true intent instead of a model hallucination?
Accountability
If something goes wrong, who is responsible—the user, the agent developer, the merchant, or the issuer?
Without a common standard, solutions fragment into proprietary flows that are hard for merchants to integrate and confusing for users. ACP addresses this trust gap with shared mandates and audit evidence.
Core principles
Openness & interoperability
ACP stays vendor-neutral so agents, merchants, and payment providers can compose solutions without lock-in.
User control & privacy
Role separation plus encrypted payloads keep sensitive credentials protected while preserving user agency.
Verifiable mandates
Transactions carry user-signed mandates so agents prove intent instead of inferring it.
Clear accountability
Tamper-evident audit trails give issuers, merchants, and networks shared evidence for disputes.
Global roadmap
Cards come first, with real-time transfers and digital currency rails close behind.
Ecosystem collaboration
Alignment with ACP and MCP keeps agents, merchants, and service providers innovating together.
ACP in the Agent Ecosystem
ACP works as an open commerce protocol in the broader agent ecosystem, collaborating with other standards:

Verifiable credentials in ACP
Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are tamper-evident, cryptographically signed data objects that agents exchange to build trust. ACP defines three primary mandates:
Cart Mandate
Used in human-present flows; merchants assemble final cart details and the user signs them.
User-Signed Intent Mandate
Used in human-not-present scenarios, giving an agent clear authority bounded by explicit parameters.
Payment Mandate
Shared with networks and issuers to highlight agent participation and communicate risk signals.
🔗 Complete Audit Trail
Together these credentials form a portable audit trail across implementations
The three types of mandates in ACP protocol work together to ensure verifiability and security of agent commerce
