Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP)

EcosystemVerified

Open standard for AI-native commerce, complementary to UCP, with a focus on high-level commerce action orchestration.

The Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) is an open standard for AI-native commerce that complements UCP. While UCP focuses on the specific technical integration between AI agents and merchant checkout systems, ACP provides higher-level abstractions for commerce action orchestration across multiple merchants and commerce systems. ACP is referenced in the NVIDIA Retail Agentic Commerce Blueprint and represents an alternative or complementary approach to UCP for enterprise commerce architectures.

Why This Matters for UCP

ACP provides high-level commerce action orchestration that complements UCP's merchant integration layer, used in enterprise agentic commerce architectures like the NVIDIA Retail Blueprint.
