He called it "a processor decision that is a bridge" to a fully tokenized transaction for a period of time, and said that is not a long-term solution Mastercard will support. He said a shopper's choice to pay with Mastercard in an agent is separate. He also said Shop Pay uses Agent Pay and Mastercard network tokens.

The checkout screen does not change. In a pilot, Jomashop raised its agent checkout success rate to nearly 100%, after bot tools had blocked much of that traffic, without a rise in chargebacks. Forter said agentic orders on its network are more than four times the August level.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: An open standard from Stripe and OpenAI that lets an AI agent send a shopper's order to a store without seeing the card number. Note: Stripe's current documentation also names Meta as a creator. The public GitHub spec is still marked beta. ChatGPT's first in-chat Instant Checkout, which used ACP, was later narrowed.

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: Google's open payments protocol records what a person allowed an agent to buy, including some purchases the person pre-approves and does not watch. Note: On April 28, 2026 Google donated AP2 to the FIDO Alliance and released version 0.2. FIDO is still standardizing it. Version 0.2 is not a finished FIDO standard. Last updated: 2025-09-16 (September 16, 2025) Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/players/ap2 Source: Google Cloud blog — https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/announcing-agents-to-payments-ap2-protocol ### Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) Type: Protocol Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: An open standard from Google and Shopify so an agent can find products, build a cart, and check out while the store remains the seller. Note: A protocol release and a shopper-facing buy button are different things. The spec can be live while a particular store's checkout is still a pilot. On October 16, 2026 Shopify said Checkout MCP and Cart MCP support the UCP buyer-consent extension from version 2026-08-25. On October 8, 2026 Newegg said U.S. shoppers can buy eligible products in AI Mode and Gemini with Google Pay. The Shop MCP skill linked from Shopify's October 13, 2026 changelog tells agents to prefer Shop/UCP checkout when it is available. On October 19, 2026 Shoplazza said TikTok Buy Direct uses UCP to connect with merchant systems, and that the brand remains the seller. On October 15, 2026 Google said Universal Cart, powered by UCP, was rolling out in the U.S. in Search and the Gemini app. Last updated: 2026-01-11 (January 11, 2026) Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/players/ucp Source: Shopify newsroom — https://www.shopify.com/news/ai-commerce-at-scale ### Coinbase x402 Type: Protocol Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: An open way for an agent to pay for a web page or API, often in USDC, after the server replies that payment is required. Note: June 15, 2026 is the date Coinbase and AWS said publishers on CloudFront could turn x402 on. Coinbase says it incubated the protocol earlier and later moved it under the Linux Foundation. This row does not state an earlier launch date. On October 20, 2026 Mastercard said Agent Pay for Machines builds on x402. In that early-access product, a service can answer with HTTP 402 and the agent signs a payment voucher inside an approved budget. Mastercard named pilots with Cloudflare, Ant International, AIsa, Base, BVNK, Coinbase, and Hype. Coinbase for Agents is a separate product. Its August 21, 2026 changelog entry says agents can trade S&P 500 U.S. stocks, which is not an x402 purchase (https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/get-started/changelog).

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: Sardine's Know Your Human (KYH) protocol lets an AI shopping agent pass a shopper's device ID, fingerprint, and IP address to a merchant in a few HTTP headers so a checkout from a cloud browser is less likely to be declined as a bot. Note: The Paypers reported this launch on November 6, 2026 and said Sardine is seeking design partners among agent developers and merchants. Neither source names merchants that have adopted KYH. Sardine says the protocol complements existing agentic commerce protocols. An agent can bind a device with Sardine's SDK or a merchant Method URL. A texted verification link expires five minutes after it is created and can be opened up to three times. Sardine's page calls email, phone, and KYC possible extensions. The Paypers lists email and phone among the identifiers and calls KYC an extended case (https://thepaypers.com/fraud-and-fincrime/news/sardine-launches-know-your-human-protocol-for-agentic-commerce).

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: Visa's Intelligent Commerce Connect pilot gives businesses one integration for agent payments, using tokenized cards and spending limits. Note: Visa first introduced Intelligent Commerce on April 30, 2025 as a partner program. The April 2026 Connect on-ramp is a pilot with partners including Aldar, AWS, Diddo, Highnote, Mesh, Payabli, and Sumvin. On October 8, 2026 Crossmint said its toolkit uses Visa tokenized credentials where a card supports them. On October 20, 2026 a BILL and Billtrust pilot lets a trusted agent pay supplier invoices the buyer already approved. On October 28, 2026 Shopify said Shop Pay uses Visa tokens for some off-Shopify agent purchases (https://www.shopify.com/news/fall-26-edition-merchant). On November 5, 2026 Visa launched the Visa Agentic Commerce Benchmark, research it says is complementary to Intelligent Commerce, not the same product, and public on Visa Payments Frontier.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Mastercard's program for letting a registered AI agent pay with a tokenized card, with the cardholder setting what the agent may buy. The October 29, 2026 earnings call disclosed a broad OpenAI agreement that includes Agent Pay. The Paypers and PYMNTS do not describe a new shopper checkout. Note: Mastercard called the April 2025 launch its initial steps. On September 30, 2026 a score for whether an AI agent likely started a transaction was rolling out for testing in the United States, not as a finished worldwide feature. On October 8, 2026 Crossmint said its toolkit uses Mastercard Agent Pay tokenized credentials where a card supports them. On October 20, 2026 Mastercard opened Early Access to Agent Pay for Machines, built on x402, after end-to-end pilots with Cloudflare, Ant International, AIsa, Base, BVNK, Coinbase, and Hype. An agent pays for digital services with a signed payment voucher inside an approved budget. On October 28, 2026 Shopify said Shop Pay uses Mastercard tokens for some off-Shopify agent purchases (https://www.shopify.com/news/fall-26-edition-merchant).

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: PayPal's Agent Ready and Store Sync tools are built so stores can take agent checkouts on ChatGPT and on Google, after PayPal approves access. Note: PayPal's services page, updated October 14, 2026, says merchants must request access. Store Sync is limited to physical goods sold to U.S. customers in U.S. dollars. Agent Ready's integration guide was updated October 13, 2026.

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: Klarna says it is joining Google's Universal Commerce Protocol and already supports Google's Agent Payments Protocol, so pay-later options can travel with agent checkout. Note: The February 2, 2026 press release describes support for the standards. It does not name a public checkout where every shopper can already pay with Klarna through an agent. A Klarna business page later says payments are already live on UCP and ACP, and also says those options are being built into agent checkout. Last updated: 2026-02-02 (February 2, 2026) Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/players/klarna Source: Klarna press — https://www.klarna.com/international/press/klarna-backs-googles-universal-commerce-protocol-ucp-to-enable-agentic/ ### Shopify Type: Platform Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Shopify's Fall '26 Edition lets a shopper point ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent at shop.md to search more than a billion products and check out with Shop Pay, and Shop Pay checkout is inside Muse, Claude Duet, and Instinct. Select Shopify merchants can also be bought in AI Mode and the Gemini app in Canada. Note: Claude Duet, Grok Bot, and Instinct also offer Shop Pay for brands not on Shopify. For those purchases, Shop Pay uses tokens from Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. American Express tokens are coming soon and are not generally available yet. The buyer stays in control, and the card is never shared with the agent. The edition page also lists Grok Bot for Shop Pay checkout, and a Catalog API commission for agent builders is early access, not generally live (https://www.shopify.com/editions/fall2026). A browser agent on a Liquid or Hydrogen store can finish checkout once the buyer approves (https://www.shopify.com/news/fall-26-edition-developer). October 27: a Catalog beta can list non-Shopify brands that cannot be bought in Shopify checkout, and in the beta only US shoppers see them.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Starting November 4, 2026, shoppers in Canada can buy in AI Mode and the Gemini app from lululemon, select Shopify merchants, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Simons with Google Pay, and the retailer stays the seller. In the United States, Universal Cart is still rolling out in Search and the Gemini app. Note: The November 4, 2026 direct checkout in Canada, powered by the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), is rolling out, so not every shopper may see it yet. A simpler UCP setup in Merchant Center starts next year, and loyalty rewards are planned later. The Globe and Mail says the Canada launch is one item at a time (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-google-gemini-ai-shopping-instant-checkout-feature/). The October 15, 2026 post says Universal Cart in the United States names Nike, Sephora, Target, Ulta Beauty, Walmart, Wayfair, and many Shopify merchants, and the merchant remains the seller (https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/shopping/universal-cart-launch/). On October 8, 2026 Newegg said eligible U.S. products can be bought in AI Mode and Gemini with Google Pay.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Eligible Shopify merchants who sell to U.S. buyers can take an order inside Microsoft Copilot Checkout. Note: Shopify says merchants can turn direct Copilot checkout on or off. Target separately says its own guests can buy inside Copilot and use Target Circle benefits there.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Stripe's Link wallet lets a personal agent pay at businesses that take Link, or with a one-time virtual card after the shopper approves the total, and some shoppers in eligible US regions can fund a Link balance and set a per-purchase limit so the agent can spend that balance without asking each time. Note: This balance is launching first in Instinct and rolling out to Instinct users in eligible US regions, with New York coming soon. Link's undated help page says US shoppers who use an agent can fund a USDC balance so an agent can complete some purchases without approval (https://support.link.com/questions/link-balance-faq). The shopper sets a per-purchase cap; above it, approval is still required (https://support.link.com/questions/set-up-a-balance-for-agent-wallet-purchases). Stripe's September 8, 2026 post covers connecting Link to Muse. The wallet also powers Grok Bot and Instinct (https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/stripe-helps-meta-muse-shop-with-link). Not every Stripe merchant accepts agent checkout. On October 21, 2026 Claude Duet can pay with Link after approval via a virtual card. Last updated: 2026-10-26 (October 26, 2026) Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/players/stripe-link Source: Tempo — https://tempo.xyz/customer-stories/link/ ### Meta Muse Type: Platform Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Meta's Muse agent can shop the web for a connected U.S. shopper and must show the total for approval before it pays. Note: Meta's help center says purchasing ability varies by location, merchant, and checkout, and that Muse can also pay by logging in with a saved card. At Connect on September 23, 2026 Meta said more store connectors were being added and that Expedia was coming soon for travel planning. On October 28, 2026 Shopify said Shop Pay checkout is inside Muse, the buyer stays in control, and the card is never shared with the agent (https://www.shopify.com/news/fall-26-edition-merchant). The edition page says shoppers approve purchases before they check out with Shop Pay in Muse (https://www.shopify.com/editions/fall2026).

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: TikTok's Buy Direct lets a shopper buy from a brand inside TikTok, using the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), while the brand remains the seller. Note: Shoplazza's October 19, 2026 release says TikTok introduced Buy Direct and Shopping Assistant on October 5 and named Shoplazza as a commerce and payment partner. It does not say which countries or which shoppers can use Buy Direct. Shopping Assistant answers product questions inside TikTok's browser, then checkout still happens on the merchant's website. Last updated: 2026-10-19 (October 19, 2026) Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/players/tiktok Source: Shoplazza — https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/shoplazza-collaborates-with-tiktok-to-bring-product-discovery-closer-to-purchase-302912401.html ### Amazon Type: Store Status: None. None means we have not found a completed agent purchase. What agents can do: Amazon blocks outside AI shopping agents from its store, and Meta's Muse users see a notice that unauthorized AI agent access violates Amazon's terms, while Amazon's own Alexa for Shopping assistant can still buy for a Prime member and Buy for Me can buy some products off Amazon. Note: GeekWire also reported that Amazon is suing Perplexity over its Comet browser and moving to block shopping agents from Google and OpenAI. Amazon's May 13, 2026 page states the rename from Rufus to Alexa for Shopping and describes auto-buy and Buy for Me as current features, without separate launch dates. GeekWire says Buy for Me identifies itself and lets brands opt out. On October 28, 2026 EMARKETER said an Amazon spokesperson put Shop Direct at about 250 million outside listings, roughly 2.5 times March. The article says Buy for Me can still buy eligible products on a merchant site, and does not describe Shop Direct as a checkout for outside agents. On November 6, 2026 The Verge said Alexa can take a text and a photo and order for the user, for a small U.S. group, then millions more.

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: Not yet live for shoppers. Walmart said Agent Profiles launch in the next month, with a spending limit or approval on every purchase, and the Agent Gateway starts as a developer beta so assistants can search and buy at Walmart and Sam's Club without receiving card data. Note: Not yet live for shoppers. Agent Profiles launch in the next month, and the Walmart Agent Gateway starts as a beta for companies and developers. Agents do not receive payment-card data and cannot change payment methods. Reuters said the gateway lets ChatGPT, Gemini, and Meta's Muse connect to Walmart and Sam's Club, and contrasted that with Amazon limiting outside agents (https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/walmart-launches-tools-for-ai-agents-to-shop-for-customers-4964210). Google's October 15, 2026 Universal Cart post names Walmart among UCP checkout merchants. Earlier steps include a January 2026 Gemini plan, a March 2026 ChatGPT app, and Sparky in the Walmart app since June 2025.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: U.S. shoppers can buy eligible Newegg products inside AI Mode in Google Search and the Gemini app with Google Pay, and Newegg is the merchant of record. Note: Newegg's October 8, 2026 release says Universal Commerce Protocol checkout on Google is live now for shoppers in the United States and covers a growing selection of eligible products. The purchase happens in Google's experience, and Newegg fulfills and supports the order. The same release says Newegg was among the first retailers to enable in-conversation checkout on Perplexity, and that shoppers can add Newegg from the ChatGPT app directory for its live catalog, pricing, and deals. It does not say the ChatGPT app takes payment inside ChatGPT. Newegg also describes Celeste, its assistant on Newegg.com, as a conversation that can end in checkout.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: U.S. shoppers can buy from U.S. Etsy sellers inside ChatGPT, which was the first store checkout launched with the Agentic Commerce Protocol. Note: Etsy's current help page says some listings can also be bought in Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Copilot, still for shoppers in the United States only. That help page does not show a last-updated date. Orders through those chats start as guest checkouts.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Instacart's ChatGPT app can fill a grocery cart from local stores and take payment inside the chat. Note: This is Instacart's December 8, 2025 announcement, which says checkout uses the Agentic Commerce Protocol and Stripe. In March 2026 OpenAI said it was moving away from the first Instant Checkout and toward retailer apps. This tracker did not find a later Instacart notice confirming the checkout is unchanged.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Target says shoppers can buy on Google AI Mode and Gemini, in Microsoft Copilot, and in Target's app inside ChatGPT. Note: On Google, Target said buying several items in one purchase was still coming soon. The shopper still confirms the purchase. Google checkout described here ships in the U.S. Last updated: 2026-06-18 (June 18, 2026) Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/players/target Source: Target fact sheet — https://corporate.target.com/press/fact-sheet/2026/06/conversational-ai ### Expedia Type: Store Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Expedia shows live flights and hotels inside Claude, then sends the traveler to Expedia to finish the booking. Note: This is trip search with a handoff, not a verified in-chat payment. Expedia's October 6, 2025 ChatGPT app also shows live prices in chat. Meta said in September 2026 that Expedia was coming soon as a Muse travel-planning connector.

Announced means a public plan that is not yet live. What agents can do: Zalando said that from 2027 its own AI agent will buy products from other online shops inside the Zalando app, starting with Westwing home and living goods. Note: Zalando's November 3, 2026 release calls this Zalando Extended. Agent checkout is planned for 2027 and is not available now. Westwing is the first pilot partner, and that cooperation started in 2026. The same release says more than 22 million unique users visited the Zalando Assistant this year. It does not say that assistant already checks out at other shops.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: ChatGPT still helps people find products and open store apps, after OpenAI said the first in-chat Instant Checkout was not flexible enough. Note: CNBC is reporting OpenAI's statements. This tracker did not open a matching OpenAI blog post for the March 24 change. Etsy, Instacart, Target, and Shopify still describe their own ways to buy from ChatGPT. Read those rows before assuming nothing can be purchased there. On October 22, 2026 Cafe24 said WebMCP on its stores works in ChatGPT desktop's built-in browser for search, cart, and the order form, and that the shopper logs in and pays. On October 8, 2026 Newegg said shoppers can add its app from the ChatGPT directory for a live catalog, pricing, and deals. That release does not say payment finishes inside ChatGPT.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Crossmint's toolkit lets a developer give an agent a saved card and a checkout path, using Visa or Mastercard tokenized credentials where the card supports them. Note: Crossmint said the toolkit is live and self-serve as of October 8, 2026. It picks Shop Pay, the Universal Commerce Protocol, or browser checkout depending on the store. Cards that are not eligible for those network programs still check out from Crossmint's vault. This is a developer toolkit, not a shop a person opens directly.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Agentcard's opencommerce gives a developer's AI agent one buy tool that can search, build a cart, and check out at 5,026 online stores, for a fee of 1% of each completed order. Note: Agentcard's page calls this OpenRouter for commerce. It does not say the stores agreed to the integration, and the 5,026 count is the company's own. This is a developer endpoint, not a shop a person opens. Founder Karen posted the launch on Hacker News on October 30, 2026 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50304532).

Announced means a public plan that is not yet live. What agents can do: American Express published a framework for recording what a shopper authorized before an agent buys, for fraud checks, payment approval, and disputes. Note: Digital Commerce 360 reported the October 13, 2026 publication and said American Express confirmed there are no live integrations yet. Agent Purchase Protection is not available. American Express introduced Intent Intelligence in April 2026; this row is the later public framework, not a checkout that is already switched on. On October 28, 2026 Shopify said American Express tokens for Shop Pay agent purchases from merchants off Shopify are coming soon and are not generally available yet (https://www.shopify.com/news/fall-26-edition-merchant).

What agents can do: Synchrony is piloting a way for customers with an open credit line to see their limit, balance, and financing options inside an AI shopping experience before checkout. Note: Synchrony's October 15, 2026 post says the pilots are with selected merchant partners, and that Synchrony is contributing to UCP and AP2. It does not describe a general checkout where an agent already charges a Synchrony account. A later phase would explore offering a card to someone who does not already have one.

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: Commerce.com turned WebMCP on by default for eligible BigCommerce stores so a shopper's browser agent can search the catalog and fill a cart, while checkout stays on the merchant's site. Note: Cloudflare's October 21, 2026 post says WebMCP is still an experimental browser standard, available behind Chrome flags, in Chrome Origin Trials, in some agentic browsers, and in developer tools. Merchants can turn it off. The agent does not take payment. Eligible B2C and B2B stores also expose server-side Storefront MCPs for agents that connect from outside the browser. Commerce.com said no code changes are required (https://blog.cloudflare.com/webmcp-commerce/).

Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. What agents can do: Cafe24 said it turned on WebMCP for every store on its platform so a browser agent can search, manage a cart, move to the order form, and look up orders, while the shopper logs in and pays. Note: Cafe24's October 22, 2026 newsroom post says this is on for every store built with its solution, with no extra development or integration, and that it is the first Korean commerce platform to apply WebMCP. It lists 11 functions, including product search and details, options and quantity, cart changes, moving to the order form, and order lookup. It works in ChatGPT desktop's built-in browser. Chrome needs a WebMCP extension and developer settings to try it. The shopper logs in and makes the final payment. Cafe24 said WebMCP is still being discussed in a W3C community group, with Google and Microsoft taking part. The official post is in Korean. Cafe24 also said it earlier released an app in OpenAI's Apps in ChatGPT.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: AEON said Agentic Checkout V2 lets an AI agent search hotels on Travala and book one after the person picks a stay, using an on-chain agent wallet. Note: AEON's October 21, 2026 post says the person gives a destination, dates, guests, and budget. The agent searches hotel stays on Travala and books after the person selects a stay. The agent wallet is on-chain. The person can fund it and see a record of spending. The post does not name a country, a waitlist, or which agents can use it. AEON said an earlier version already let agents shop on large online stores.

Announced means a public plan that is not yet live. What agents can do: Salesforce said Commerce Cloud merchants will be able to offer Universal Commerce Protocol checkout in Google Search, including AI Mode, and in the Gemini app, while the merchant stays the seller. Salesforce scheduled that integration for general availability in October 2026. Note: The September 15, 2026 availability list says the Google catalog feed is generally available now and UCP checkout is "GA October 2026." Salesforce's developer guide says the integration is generally available in B2C Commerce 26.9 and later, for en-US sites only, and that merchants still join Google's UCP waitlist before Google checkout (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/commerce/b2c-commerce/guide/ucp-index.html). The innovations page still labels it "GA Oct '26," not "GA Now" (https://www.salesforce.com/commerce/innovations/).

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: An agent on PayBox can search Whop storefronts, see the current price, and prepare an order for a product, subscription, or service, while the buyer controls whether the payment is approved. Note: CryptoBriefing said on October 29, 2026 that Whop joined PayBox Markets and that the integration is live. Whop merchants do not change their storefronts. PayBox's post the same day says the buyer sees the item, total, payment method, and recipient before money moves. A person can require approval on every transaction or let the agent act within limits they set. PayBox says it is a product of Launchpad Limited, an unregulated MoonPay group entity, for eligible users, and not available in every jurisdiction (https://cryptobriefing.com/moonpay-whop-ai-agent-payments/).

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Agents on PayBox can search Whop storefronts, see current prices, and prepare orders for products, subscriptions, and services, with the buyer controlling purchase approval. Note: CryptoBriefing said the October 29, 2026 integration is live and that Whop merchants do not change their storefronts. PayBox says the buyer can require approval on every transaction or allow the agent to act within limits set in advance, and that this is for eligible users and not every jurisdiction (https://x.com/PayBox/status/2115820823327936940).

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Natural Direct is generally available, so an AI agent can choose ACH, a wire, or a realtime payment on RTP or FedNow for each payment from a Natural wallet, within limits the business set. Note: Natural's October 29, 2026 release says Direct is available today to customers with a funded wallet. Mailed paper checks, international wires, and more are coming soon. Natural says it is not a bank. Wallet accounts and banking services are provided by Column N.A., Member FDIC.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. What agents can do: Sunrate's Agentic Card is a programmable virtual commercial card that lets an authorized AI agent make a business payment inside spending limits, permissions, and approval rules the company sets, and the card is certified for Mastercard Agent Pay. Note: The Paypers report on November 4, 2026 says the card has launched and is certified for Mastercard Agent Pay. It does not name a public signup page or which companies can apply. It describes company-approved agents making business payments, not a consumer checkout. Online travel agencies are named as an early use, not as a list of live customers.

Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. Last updated: 2025-09-29 (September 29, 2025) Who: Stripe and OpenAI co-developed it. Stripe's current documentation also lists Meta as a creator. The public GitHub project says OpenAI and Stripe maintain the spec. ACP is a shared checkout language. An AI agent can pass an order to a business, and the business still owns the sale. Note: Stripe's docs name Meta as a co-creator. The September 2025 launch posts name Stripe and OpenAI. This page reports both. Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/protocols/acp #### What it is The Agentic Commerce Protocol is an open standard for the moment an AI agent is ready to buy. The agent and the business exchange the cart, the fulfillment choice, and a payment token. The business accepts or declines the order, charges the shopper, and handles tax, shipping, and returns the way it already does. Stripe and OpenAI published it on September 29, 2025, the same day U.S. ChatGPT users could buy from U.S. Etsy sellers inside the chat. Shopify merchants were described as coming next. The payment token is scoped to a particular merchant and cart total, so the agent does not receive the shopper's card number. #### Who it is for A store uses it to take an order that started in a chat. An AI app uses it to offer checkout without becoming the seller. A payment company uses it to pass a secure token between the shopper and the store. Stripe's documentation describes building blocks for checkout, product feeds, delegated payment, delegated sign-in, and order updates. Businesses that do not process payments with Stripe can still adopt the standard. #### Status The specification is public and Stripe and OpenAI both document it for builders, so this tracker marks it live. The GitHub repository still labels the spec beta. A later stable snapshot in that repository is dated April 17, 2026. The first ChatGPT product built on it, Instant Checkout, did not stay in its original form. On March 24, 2026 CNBC reported that OpenAI was letting merchants use their own checkout and focusing ChatGPT on finding and comparing products. Some store apps inside ChatGPT still describe their own in-chat payment. #### Questions and answers Q: What is the Agentic Commerce Protocol? A: ACP is an open checkout language from Stripe and OpenAI. An AI agent can pass a shopper's order to a business, and the business still accepts the order, charges the payment, and handles shipping and returns. Q: Who created ACP? A: Stripe and OpenAI published it on September 29, 2025. Stripe's current documentation also lists Meta as a creator. The public GitHub project says OpenAI and Stripe maintain the spec, and it is still marked beta. Q: Is ACP live? A: The specification is public and both Stripe and OpenAI document it, so this tracker marks it live. A later snapshot in the GitHub repository is dated April 17, 2026. The first ChatGPT Instant Checkout that used it was later narrowed. Q: Can a store use ACP without using Stripe? A: Yes. Stripe said businesses that do not process payments with Stripe can still adopt the standard and keep their existing payment provider. #### Sources - Stripe announcement, September 29, 2025: https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/stripe-openai-instant-checkout - OpenAI announcement: https://openai.com/index/buy-it-in-chatgpt/ - Stripe documentation: https://docs.stripe.com/agentic-commerce/protocols/acp - OpenAI commerce docs: https://developers.openai.com/commerce - Specification on GitHub: https://github.com/agentic-commerce-protocol/agentic-commerce-protocol ### Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) Status: Pilot. Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. Last updated: 2025-09-16 (September 16, 2025) Who: Google announced it with more than 60 payments and technology companies. On April 28, 2026 Google donated the protocol to the FIDO Alliance. AP2 is a way to prove that a person allowed an agent to pay, and to keep a record of what was approved. Note: Some documents title the spec Agentic Payment Protocol and others Agent Payments Protocol. Both refer to AP2. Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/protocols/ap2 #### What it is The Agent Payments Protocol is an open payments standard for agent-led purchases. Google describes it as a common language so a shopper, a merchant, and a payment provider can tell what the agent was allowed to do. The core idea is a mandate: a signed record of the shopper's instructions. In a live shopping session, an intent mandate captures what the person asked for, and a cart mandate captures the exact items and price they approved. For a task the person will not watch, such as buying tickets the moment they go on sale, a more detailed mandate is signed in advance. #### Who it is for Google positioned AP2 for card payments and, over time, other methods such as stablecoins and real-time bank transfers. It was introduced as an extension that can sit alongside agent-to-agent protocols and the Model Context Protocol. The September 16, 2025 announcement named collaborators including Adyen, American Express, Coinbase, Etsy, Mastercard, PayPal, and others. #### Status The specification is public, and version 0.2 was released on April 28, 2026 with clearer support for purchases when the person is not present. The same day, Google donated AP2 to the FIDO Alliance so the work would stay open and not tied to one platform. FIDO has working groups on agent authentication and payments. This tracker marks AP2 as a pilot because that standardization is still underway and version 0.2 is not a finished FIDO standard. A shopper cannot assume every card and every store already speaks AP2. #### Questions and answers Q: What is Google's Agent Payments Protocol? A: AP2 is an open payments protocol announced by Google on September 16, 2025. It records what a person allowed an agent to buy, including some purchases the person pre-approves and does not watch. Q: What is a mandate in AP2? A: A mandate is a signed record of the shopper's instructions. In a live session, one record captures the request and another captures the exact items and price. For a purchase the person will not watch, a more detailed record is signed in advance. Q: Is AP2 a finished standard? A: Not yet. Google released version 0.2 on April 28, 2026 and donated the protocol to the FIDO Alliance. FIDO is still standardizing it. This tracker marks AP2 as a pilot. Q: Who is behind AP2? A: Google announced it with more than 60 payments and technology companies, including Adyen, American Express, Coinbase, Etsy, Mastercard, and PayPal. The FIDO Alliance now stewards the work. #### Sources - Google announcement, September 16, 2025: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/announcing-agents-to-payments-ap2-protocol - Donation to the FIDO Alliance, April 28, 2026: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/google-pay/agent-payments-protocol-fido-alliance/ - AP2 documentation site: https://ap2-protocol.org/ - FIDO Alliance on AP2 and Verifiable Intent: https://fidoalliance.org/building-the-trust-layer-for-agentic-payments-with-ap2-and-verifiable-intent/ ### Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. Last updated: 2026-01-11 (January 11, 2026) Who: Co-developed by Shopify and Google. Stripe joined the governing council on April 28, 2026. Google and Shopify remain permanent members. UCP is a shared shopping language so an agent and a store can discover products, build a cart, pay, and follow the order afterward. Note: A protocol release and a shopper-facing buy button are different things. The spec can be live while a particular store's checkout is still a pilot. On October 15, 2026 Google said Universal Cart, powered by UCP, was rolling out in the U.S. in Search and the Gemini app. On October 16, 2026 Shopify turned on support for the UCP buyer-consent extension, which starts with version 2026-08-25, in Checkout MCP and Cart MCP. Shop MCP, launched October 13, is a hosted catalog and Shop Pay checkout. Neither one means every store has a buy button inside every chat. Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/protocols/ucp #### What it is The Universal Commerce Protocol is an open standard for the shopping trip, not only the payment. An agent can ask a business for products, start a checkout, apply a discount or loyalty detail, and complete or cancel the order. The business stays the seller of record. Shopify and Google announced it on January 11, 2026. Shopify said it was already endorsed by more than 20 retailers and platforms. The same day, Walmart announced a Gemini shopping experience built with UCP. #### Who it is for A store uses UCP so it does not have to build a separate checkout for every AI chat. An AI platform uses it to sell inside the conversation. A payment company can plug in its own handler. Shopify says the protocol works with any payment processor, including Shopify Payments, and can sit alongside AP2. On Google's surfaces, the shopper can pay with Google Pay using details already saved in Google Wallet. Shopify says that on ChatGPT, the buyer currently finishes on the merchant's own site inside an in-app browser, while Copilot and Google can use a more embedded checkout. #### Status The spec is published. The first tagged release is January 11, 2026, and the announcements page lists later releases, including v2026-08-25, which adds grocery-oriented features and tighter payment security. This tracker marks the protocol live. Shopper-facing checkout is uneven. Shopify says Copilot checkout is live for eligible merchants selling to U.S. buyers, and Google AI Mode and Gemini checkout is available to selected brands with a broader rollout underway. On October 15, 2026 Google said Universal Cart was rolling out in the U.S. across Search and the Gemini app. The May 20, 2026 post had described several of those checkouts as coming soon. #### October 2026 On October 13, 2026 Shopify launched Shop MCP, a hosted server at mcp.shop.com. Any MCP-compatible agent can search Shopify Catalog and, after a signed-in shopper confirms the total and payment method, complete the order with Shop Pay. The skill file linked from that changelog tells agents to prefer Shop/UCP checkout when it is available. On October 15, 2026 Google said Universal Cart was rolling out in the United States across Search and the Gemini app. The cart is powered by UCP. A shopper can check out with Google Pay or transfer items to the merchant's cart at stores including Nike, Sephora, Target, Ulta Beauty, Walmart, Wayfair, and many Shopify merchants. The merchant remains the seller of record. Google's Merchant Center help says a UCP integration hub is gradually rolling out in the U.S., with Australia and Canada to follow next year, so selected merchants can test cart transfer and native checkout. That help page does not give a launch date. On October 16, 2026 Shopify said Checkout MCP and Cart MCP support the UCP buyer-consent extension, starting with version 2026-08-25. A shop can list privacy and marketing choices, including email and SMS, and the agent can send the buyer's choices back with the cart, checkout, and order. If the agent sends no choice, Shopify applies the shop's default for the buyer's country. On October 19, 2026 Shoplazza said TikTok's Buy Direct uses UCP to connect with merchant systems. A shopper can buy from a brand inside TikTok, and the brand stays the seller. Shoplazza is a commerce and payment partner. TikTok introduced Buy Direct on October 5, 2026. A separate Shopping Assistant answers product questions in TikTok's browser, then the shopper checks out on the merchant's website. #### Questions and answers Q: What is the Universal Commerce Protocol? A: UCP is an open standard co-developed by Shopify and Google so an agent can find products, build a cart, pay, and follow the order. The store stays the seller. Q: When did UCP launch? A: Shopify and Google announced it on January 11, 2026. Later releases are listed on the protocol site, including version 2026-08-25. Stripe joined the governing council on April 28, 2026. Q: Can shoppers buy inside Google with UCP? A: Some can. On October 15, 2026 Google said Universal Cart is rolling out in the U.S. in Search and the Gemini app, with Google Pay checkout or a transfer to the merchant at stores including Nike, Sephora, Target, Ulta Beauty, Walmart, Wayfair, and many Shopify merchants. The merchant remains the seller. That is a U.S. rollout at selected stores, not every shopper. Q: Does the store still own the sale? A: Yes. Shopify and Google both say the business remains the seller of record. On ChatGPT, Shopify says the buyer currently finishes on the store's own site inside an in-app browser. Q: What did Shopify add for UCP in October 2026? A: On October 13, Shopify launched Shop MCP so an MCP-compatible agent can search Shopify Catalog and complete Shop Pay checkout after a signed-in shopper confirms the total and payment method. On October 16, Checkout MCP and Cart MCP gained the UCP buyer-consent extension from version 2026-08-25, including email and SMS choices. Q: Does TikTok use UCP? A: Shoplazza said on October 19, 2026 that TikTok Buy Direct uses UCP to connect with merchant systems, and that the brand remains the seller. The release does not say which countries can use Buy Direct. #### Sources - Shopify announcement, January 11, 2026: https://www.shopify.com/news/ai-commerce-at-scale - Shopify guide, updated June 18, 2026: https://www.shopify.com/blog/how-agentic-commerce-works - UCP announcements: http://ucp.dev/documentation/announcements/ - Google shopping update, May 20, 2026: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/shopping/shopping-updates-google-marketing-live/ - Google Universal Cart launch, October 15, 2026: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/shopping/universal-cart-launch/ - Merchant Center UCP integration hub: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/16992327?hl=en - Google Merchant Center help: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/16837055?hl=en - Shopify changelog, Shop MCP, October 13, 2026: https://shopify.dev/changelog/posts/add-shopping-and-shop-pay-checkout-to-any-agent-with-shop-mcp - Shopify changelog, buyer consent, October 16, 2026: https://shopify.dev/changelog/posts/checkout-mcp-and-cart-mcp-now-support-ucp-buyer-consent - Shoplazza on TikTok Buy Direct, October 19, 2026: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/shoplazza-collaborates-with-tiktok-to-bring-product-discovery-closer-to-purchase-302912401.html ### x402 (x402) Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. Last updated: 2026-06-15 (June 15, 2026) Who: Coinbase incubated x402. Coinbase says it is now an independent foundation under the Linux Foundation, with AWS among the founding members. x402 lets an agent pay for a web request on the spot, usually with a stablecoin, without opening a new account for that site. Note: This page dates the row to the AWS launch. It does not state an earlier public launch date, even though Coinbase describes x402 as something it started before that day. Mastercard's October 20, 2026 post describes its own early-access product, not a change in who runs x402. Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/protocols/x402 #### What it is x402 revives the old web status code 402, which means payment required. A person or an agent asks for a page or an API. If the server wants to be paid, it answers with the price and instructions. The client sends a signed payment. A facilitator checks and settles it, and the server returns the content. Coinbase's documentation says the usual starting payment is USDC, with support for more networks, and that the flow does not need an account, a session, or an API key for that request. It is aimed at paid APIs, digital content, and agents that buy access on their own. #### Who it is for A publisher or API owner uses it to charge agent traffic instead of blocking it. An agent developer uses it to pay for data or tools as the agent works. This is a different job from a retail checkout such as ACP or UCP. x402 is a payment for a web request, not a shopping cart at a department store. #### Status Coinbase documents x402 as a working protocol, so this tracker marks it live. On June 15, 2026 Coinbase and AWS said publishers already using CloudFront and WAF could turn on agent payments from their existing AWS settings. Coinbase's facilitator verifies and settles those payments. The June 15 post says the protocol is payment-method agnostic and that USDC on Base is the natural starting point. It also says governance moved to a foundation under the Linux Foundation so no single company controls the standard. On October 20, 2026 Mastercard said Agent Pay for Machines builds on x402. In that description, a paid digital service answers that payment is required, the agent signs a payment voucher inside an approved budget, and the provider checks the voucher before delivering the service. Mastercard said those steps happen off-chain and that vouchers can be redeemed later. That is one company's early-access product on top of x402. It does not change the June 15 statement that the protocol sits under a Linux Foundation foundation. #### Questions and answers Q: What is x402? A: x402 is an open way for a person or an AI agent to pay for a web page or an API. The server answers that payment is required, the client pays, and then the content comes back. Q: How does an agent pay with x402? A: Coinbase's documentation says the usual starting payment is the USDC stablecoin. The request does not need a new account or API key. A facilitator checks the payment and settles it. Q: Is x402 a store checkout? A: It pays for a web request, such as an API call or a piece of content. It is a different job from a retail cart standard such as ACP or UCP. Q: Who runs x402? A: Coinbase incubated it. On June 15, 2026 Coinbase said x402 sits under a foundation at the Linux Foundation, with AWS among the founding members, and that publishers on CloudFront and WAF could turn it on. Q: Does Mastercard use x402? A: Mastercard said on October 20, 2026 that Agent Pay for Machines builds on x402. It opened that product in early access after end-to-end pilots with Cloudflare, Ant International, AIsa, Base, BVNK, Coinbase, and Hype. A service can answer that payment is required, and the agent signs a payment voucher inside an approved budget. #### Sources - Coinbase and AWS announcement, June 15, 2026: https://www.coinbase.com/en-gb/blog/coinbase-and-aws-let-publishers-accept-agents-as-customers-via-x402 - Coinbase x402 documentation: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/welcome - Mastercard Agent Pay for Machines, October 20, 2026: https://www.mastercard.com/global/en/news-and-trends/press/2026/october/Mastercard-Agent-Pay-for-Machines-in-action.html ### Visa Intelligent Commerce (Visa) Status: Pilot. Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. Last updated: 2026-04-08 (April 8, 2026) Who: Visa. The 2025 launch named partners including Anthropic, IBM, Microsoft, Mistral AI, OpenAI, Perplexity, Samsung, and Stripe. Visa Intelligent Commerce is Visa's program for agent payments: tokenized credentials, spending limits, and a pilot on-ramp called Intelligent Commerce Connect. Note: The product page describes the portfolio. The clearest availability statements this tracker verified are the April 2026 Connect pilot and the October 20, 2026 invoice-payment pilot with BILL and Billtrust. Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/protocols/visa-intelligent-commerce #### What it is Visa Intelligent Commerce is Visa's portfolio for purchases an AI agent starts. Instead of handing an agent a raw card number, Visa describes tokenized credentials that stand in for the card, plus controls so the cardholder can set when a payment is allowed. On April 30, 2025 Visa introduced the program at its Global Product Drop. Visa said agents could find and buy within limits the consumer sets, and that Visa would share commerce signals so it can apply controls and help with disputes. #### Who it is for Agent builders use it to pay with Visa credentials. Stores and payment companies use it to accept an agent-started payment without a one-off project for every chat app. On April 8, 2026 Visa announced Intelligent Commerce Connect as a single integration through the Visa Acceptance Platform. Visa said Connect can accept payments that arrive through several agent protocols, including its Trusted Agent Protocol, the Machine Payments Protocol, ACP, and UCP. It also said agents can pay with Visa cards and, where available, other networks' cards. #### Status This tracker marks the program a pilot. Visa's April 8, 2026 press release says Intelligent Commerce Connect is in a pilot with select partners, including Aldar, AWS, Diddo, Highnote, Mesh, Payabli, and Sumvin, and that it would roll out to more partners that year. The 2025 announcement was a partner program and used a lot of forward-looking language. A shopper should not read it as every Visa card already working inside every shopping agent. On October 20, 2026 Visa, BILL, and Billtrust said they launched a live pilot for trusted AI agents to finish approved buyer invoice payments through supplier portals. Visa said the BILL Payment Agent is registered with Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol and Agentic Directory, uses tokenized payment credentials, and stays within the buyer's approved payment instructions. Billtrust uses the Trusted Agent Protocol to recognize the agent, so the payment can go through without a separate agent login. Visa said the pilot is processing end-to-end transactions with participating buyers who use BILL and with Billtrust suppliers. The agent does not choose which invoices to pay. It carries out payments the buyer has already approved, and buyers do not share supplier-portal logins. #### Questions and answers Q: What is Visa Intelligent Commerce? A: It is Visa's program for purchases an AI agent starts. Visa describes tokenized credentials that stand in for the card number, plus spending limits the cardholder sets. Q: Can every Visa card be used by an AI agent today? A: Visa has not said that. The program started as a partner effort on April 30, 2025. On April 8, 2026 Visa said Intelligent Commerce Connect was in a pilot with a short list of partners. Q: What is Intelligent Commerce Connect? A: It is a single integration, announced April 8, 2026, meant to let agent builders and stores accept agent payments through the Visa Acceptance Platform. Visa said it can work with several agent protocols, including ACP and UCP. Q: Who was named in the April 2026 Connect pilot? A: Visa named Aldar, AWS, Diddo, Highnote, Mesh, Payabli, and Sumvin, and said it would roll out to more partners in 2026. Q: What is the BILL and Billtrust pilot? A: On October 20, 2026 Visa, BILL, and Billtrust said a live pilot lets a trusted AI agent complete approved invoice payments through supplier portals. Visa said it uses Visa Intelligent Commerce, including the Trusted Agent Protocol, and that the agent only pays invoices the buyer already approved. The pilot is limited to participating BILL buyers and Billtrust suppliers. #### Sources - Intelligent Commerce Connect pilot, April 8, 2026: https://corporate.visa.com/en/sites/visa-perspectives/newsroom/visa-intelligent-commerce-connect-ai-shopping-for-businesses.html - Original announcement, April 30, 2025: https://investor.visa.com/news/news-details/2025/Find-and-Buy-with-AI-Visa-Unveils-New-Era-of-Commerce/ - Visa Intelligent Commerce product page: https://www.visa.com/en-us/solutions/intelligent-commerce - BILL and Billtrust invoice pilot, October 20, 2026: https://investor.visa.com/news/news-details/2026/Visa-BILL-and-Billtrust-Launch-First-Live-Pilot-for-Trusted-AI-Agent-Payments-Between-Buyer-and-Supplier-Platforms/default.aspx ### Mastercard Agent Pay (Mastercard) Status: Live. Live means a shopper can use it today, sometimes in one country or at selected stores. Last updated: 2025-04-29 (April 29, 2025) Who: Mastercard. The launch named work with Microsoft, IBM, Braintree, and Checkout.com, with other AI platforms to follow. Agent Pay is Mastercard's program for agent payments, built on tokenization so a registered agent can pay and the cardholder stays in control. Note: Live here means Mastercard is operating the program and publishing it for the industry. It does not mean every shopping agent can already charge every Mastercard. Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/protocols/mastercard-agent-pay #### What it is Mastercard Agent Pay is the card network's agentic payments program. It uses agentic tokens, an extension of the tokenization Mastercard already uses for phone payments and stored cards. The idea is that a payment can start in a conversation, and every party can tell that an agent was involved. Mastercard says trusted agents have to be registered, consumers set what the agent may buy, and the network's fraud tools still apply. A purchase the cardholder does not recognize is meant to be easier to sort out because the transaction is marked as agent-led. #### Who it is for Card issuers get a token they can recognize. Merchants and checkout companies, including names Mastercard listed such as Braintree and Checkout.com, can treat an agent payment as a known kind of transaction. AI platforms are the surface where the shopper asks for something and the agent pays. In 2026 Mastercard also worked with Google on Verifiable Intent, a record of what the person authorized, and donated that work toward the FIDO Alliance alongside AP2. #### Status Mastercard announced the launch on April 29, 2025 and called it the company's initial steps. By September 30, 2026 it was expanding an existing program, so this tracker marks Agent Pay live, with a clear limit on the newest piece. That September release adds an intelligence layer. The first service, a probability score for whether an AI agent likely started the transaction, was rolling out for testing in the United States. Mastercard also named work with Cloudflare and with Skyfire on agent identity. On October 20, 2026 Mastercard opened Early Access to Agent Pay for Machines and said it builds on x402. A business gives an agent a task and a spending limit. When a digital service replies that payment is required, the agent creates a digitally signed payment voucher within that limit. The provider checks the voucher, delivers the service, and can combine vouchers and redeem them later. Mastercard said it had run end-to-end pilots with Cloudflare, Ant International, AIsa, Base, BVNK, Coinbase, and Hype, and showed the flow at Cloudflare Connect. Early Access gives developers the first version of buyer- and seller-side APIs, plus a toolkit, sandbox, and documentation. Mastercard described this as payment for digital services such as models, data, computing power, and APIs. It is early access for developers, not a claim that every shopper's agent can charge a Mastercard at a store. #### Questions and answers Q: What is Mastercard Agent Pay? A: Agent Pay is Mastercard's program for agent payments. It uses tokenization so a registered agent can pay, and the cardholder sets what the agent may buy. Q: Is Mastercard Agent Pay available? A: Mastercard announced the launch on April 29, 2025 and called it the company's initial steps. By September 30, 2026 it was expanding an existing program, so this tracker marks the card program live, with a limit on the newest piece. Agent Pay for Machines, opened in early access on October 20, 2026, is a separate developer product. Q: What is Mastercard's AI probability score? A: On September 30, 2026 Mastercard said a score for how likely it is that an AI agent started a transaction was rolling out for testing in the United States. It was not described as a finished worldwide feature. Q: Does the cardholder stay in control? A: Mastercard says trusted agents have to be registered and consumers set what the agent may buy. The network's fraud tools still apply, and agent-led transactions are meant to be recognizable. Q: What is Agent Pay for Machines? A: On October 20, 2026 Mastercard opened Early Access so developers can test Agent Pay for Machines. Mastercard said an agent pays for digital services with a signed payment voucher inside a budget the business set, using x402. The post does not say every Mastercard can already be used this way. #### Sources - Launch announcement, April 29, 2025: https://www.mastercard.com/news/press/2025/april/mastercard-unveils-agent-pay-pioneering-agentic-payments-technology-to-power-commerce-in-the-age-of-ai - Trust and intelligence services, September 30, 2026: https://www.mastercard.com/global/en/news-and-trends/press/2026/september/new-trust-and-intelligence-services.html - Mastercard Agent Pay overview: https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/business/artificial-intelligence/mastercard-agent-pay.html - Agent Pay for Machines early access, October 20, 2026: https://www.mastercard.com/global/en/news-and-trends/press/2026/october/Mastercard-Agent-Pay-for-Machines-in-action.html ### Know Your Human (KYH) Status: Pilot. Pilot means a limited test, or access the company has not opened to everyone. Last updated: 2026-11-06 (November 6, 2026) Who: Sardine. The Paypers reported on November 6, 2026 that Sardine is seeking design partners among agent developers and merchants. Know Your Human (KYH) is Sardine's protocol for passing a shopper's device and network identifiers to a merchant when an AI agent checks out, so the merchant can tell that person from a bot. Note: Sardine's page calls email, phone, and KYC possible extensions. The Paypers lists email and phone among the identifiers and calls KYC an extended use case. This page does not treat email or phone as default headers. No merchant adoption list was published. Page: https://agent-shopping-tracker.vercel.app/protocols/sardine-kyh #### What it is Sardine describes Know Your Human as a way to bind a person to a shopping agent. The agent adds a few HTTP headers so the merchant can retrieve a device ID, a device fingerprint, and an IP address. Sardine's page calls email, phone, KYC, and identity verification possible extensions, not the default headers. The Paypers reported the launch on November 6, 2026. It says many agent checkouts come from cloud browsers, with data-center IP addresses and automation user-agent strings, so fraud systems can decline a real customer's order. #### Who it is for An agent developer can bind the shopper's device with Sardine's SDK, or request a Method URL from a merchant that supports KYH and load it on the shopper's device. At checkout the merchant uses Sardine to read the device and IP signals. A merchant can text the customer a verification link. Sardine says the link expires five minutes after it is created and can be opened up to three times. If it expires, a new link can be sent for the same session. The Paypers says Sardine has implemented KYH in its own Personal Agent. Neither source names other merchants that have adopted it. #### Status This tracker marks KYH as a pilot. The protocol is public, and Sardine says it complements existing agentic commerce protocols. Sardine is seeking design partners, so this is not a general merchant rollout. KYH passes identifiers. It does not charge a card, and it does not replace a checkout protocol. #### Questions and answers Q: What is Know Your Human? A: KYH is a Sardine protocol that lets an AI shopping agent pass a shopper's device ID, device fingerprint, and IP address to a merchant in a few HTTP headers. Sardine says this is meant to reduce false declines when an agent looks like a bot. Q: How does an agent connect the shopper's device? A: The agent can embed Sardine's SDK, or it can request a Method URL from a merchant that supports KYH and load that URL on the shopper's device. The merchant then reads the device and IP signals from Sardine at checkout. Q: How long does the verification link last? A: Sardine says a merchant can text the customer a verification link that expires five minutes after it is created and can be opened up to three times. If it expires, a new link can be sent for the same session. Q: Does KYH take a payment? A: No. Sardine says KYH complements existing agentic commerce protocols. It passes identifiers so a merchant can recognize the person behind an agent. It does not itself charge a card. The Paypers said on November 6, 2026 that Sardine is seeking design partners, and neither source names merchants that have adopted it. #### Sources - Sardine Know Your Human: https://sardine.ai/know-your-human - The Paypers, November 6, 2026: https://thepaypers.com/fraud-and-fincrime/news/sardine-launches-know-your-human-protocol-for-agentic-commerce ## News - 2026-11-06: Alexa for Shopping can take a text and a photo (The Verge).

They passed 57.2% of runs and failed 42.8%. The best passed 82.2% and the worst 28.9%. A model must uncover the shopper's needs in conversation and should not buy if nothing fits.

CC BY 4.0. - On October 28, 2026 we requested the public robots.txt file for 48 US retail or marketplace sites. We could read 44 files. 4 sites did not return a file we could read: Victoria's Secret, GameStop, Petco, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Those rows stay unread and are left out of the counts below. - 15 of the 44 readable files name at least one of the 14 agents we track. 6 readable files fully disallow at least one of them: Amazon (GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Google-Extended, CCBot, Bytespider, Meta-ExternalAgent); Instacart (PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User, Meta-ExternalAgent); Chewy (Amazonbot); Temu (Bytespider); Lululemon (Meta-ExternalAgent); IKEA (Amazonbot). 29 readable files name none of them, including Walmart, Target, Etsy, The Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco, Sam's Club, and 22 others. Not named is not permission. A file can still set rules for User-agent: *, and a site can block an agent without naming it. - GPTBot is fully disallowed in 1 readable file, ClaudeBot in 1, PerplexityBot in 2, Google-Extended in 1, CCBot in 1, and Bytespider in 2. ChatGPT-User is fully disallowed in 1, Claude-User in 1, and Perplexity-User in 2. - 1 readable file fully disallows all three user-triggered tokens (ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, and Perplexity-User): Amazon. - 1 readable file fully disallows User-agent: *: Instacart. That asks every unnamed crawler to stay off the whole site. Agents we marked not mentioned on that site can still fall under that * rule. ### robots.txt rows - Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/robots.txt), fetched 2026-10-28, HTTP 200, ok. User-agent *: partly.
