Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is an open standard designed to unify how platforms, businesses, and payment providers interact across the modern commerce ecosystem. It provides a common language that eliminates fragmented, custom integrations and enables seamless interoperability between diverse commerce systems. Built for an increasingly agentic web, UCP supports AI-driven platforms that can discover products, manage carts, and complete transactions securely on a user’s behalf. ...

It’s maintained by OpenAI and Stripe and licensed under Apache-2.0, with the goal of being easy to adopt alongside a merchant’s existing commerce stack rather than replacing it. The repository organizes the spec as human-readable RFCs plus machine-readable OpenAPI and JSON Schema definitions, along with worked examples and a changelog so integrators can track breaking changes. Practically, ACP defines three main pieces; a Product Feed for discovery, an Agentic Checkout API for stateful, in-conversation checkout, and a Delegated Payment flow so a merchant’s existing PSP securely handles payment credentials and settlement. ...

AP2 is a project released by Google’s “Agentic Commerce” initiative, focusing on a protocol and reference implementation for agent-driven or AI-mediated payments. In effect, AP2 aims to define a secure, interoperable protocol that allows software agents to act on behalf of users—making payments or shopping decisions autonomously—while preserving necessary security, auditability, and trust.
