Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP)
Verified transactions for AI agent commerce workflows
Overview
Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) defines standards for AI agents to conduct commerce autonomously. Originary integrates with ACP to provide verifiable receipts for agent transactions, ensuring trust and auditability in automated commerce workflows.
When agents execute purchase flows, service bookings, or payment transactions via ACP, Originary issues PEAC-Receipts that prove transaction completion and can be verified by merchants, platforms, and auditors.
Use Cases
Agent Purchasing
AI agents autonomously purchase goods and services with verifiable transaction receipts for reconciliation and compliance.
Service Booking
Agents book appointments, reservations, and services with cryptographic proof of booking completion.
Payment Verification
Merchants verify agent payment receipts before fulfilling orders, reducing fraud and chargebacks.
Implementation
ACP Transaction with PEAC-Receipt
