What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Apache-2.0 open governance, real live transactions and one-line Stripe enablement make it the most production-proven agentic checkout standard — but beta churn, OpenAI's own March-2026 pullback from in-agent checkout, and disintermediation economics require defensive integration
Next
Pin to the dated stable spec (2026-04-17), implement the Delegate Payment token flow behind our server-side commission/idempotency guards (Rules #1/#3/#13), and treat the discovery-vs-checkout split as the live design (don't assume in-agent checkout is the durable path)
