# Stripe and OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol

**Entity type:** tool / standard · **Canonical name:** Stripe and OpenAI's Agentic Commerce Protocol

A collaborative industry standard developed by **Stripe and OpenAI** to define **standardized ways for agents to handle delegation, consent, and purchasing boundaries** — a payments-oriented complement to [[concept-safe-delegation]].

> **Enrichment caveat.** As with [[entity-universal-commerce-protocol-d3]], this specific protocol name is **not yet documented as a widely established public standard**; there are ongoing efforts around agent frameworks and payment integrations, but the named protocol appears emerging/internal/speculative. Convergence vs. fragmentation across the named efforts is tracked in [[question-cross-platform-protocol-adoption]].
