What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Connect is the most directly relevant card-rail acceptance layer for our agentic-commerce protocols and explicitly accepts ACP/UCP/TAP, but Visa itself frames it as in-deployment pilot (Rule #11: status reflects reality). Tracking now, integrating at GA.
Next
Monitor for GA announcement and SDK/sandbox access; engage Visa's Agentic Ready / Acceptance Platform program for sandbox credentials to evaluate Connect as a card-rail acceptance path alongside our existing AP2/ACP stack, but hold integration until GA and pricing/commission terms are clear.
