Payments and protocols By OpenAI and Stripe

Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP)

The open spec from OpenAI and Stripe that lets merchants accept orders from AI agents.

What it is

ACP is an open standard for how an AI agent, a shopper and a merchant complete a purchase together. The merchant keeps the customer relationship and stays the seller of record. It powered ChatGPT Instant Checkout until OpenAI ended that feature on 24 March 2026.

Who it is for

Merchants, platforms and payment providers that want to accept orders from AI agents.
