Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP)
Open standard maintained by OpenAI and Stripe for connecting buyers, their AI agents, and businesses to complete purchases.
Last commit Jun 15, 2026 · ★ 1,441
Overview
The Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) is an open standard, currently in beta, that defines how AI agents interact with merchants to complete purchases on a buyer's behalf, using mechanisms such as Shared Payment Tokens so checkout occurs without exposing payment credentials. It is maintained by OpenAI and Stripe and powers Instant Checkout in ChatGPT. It is primarily a Web2 commerce protocol (card/traditional rails), though Stripe has integrated x402 to connect it to crypto rails.

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden. 49 of these checks predate 2026-09-01, when the probe counted a bot-block (HTTP 403) as a failure and recorded no reason for any failure. Rates spanning that date mix two definitions. Since then: 100%.
