In depth
ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) is Stripe and OpenAI's standard for agents to mediate purchases on behalf of humans. It defines how an agent discovers a product, fetches pricing, and hands off to the human for payment authorization. ACP includes support for recurring billing, discounts, and dispute handling. It's designed for Category A (agent-assisted commerce) and competes with Shopify's agent integration strategy.
