Universal Commerce Protocol

An emerging open standard for agentic shopping flows across merchants, AI platforms, and commerce systems.

Plain English

It is an attempt to give agents and stores a shared language for shopping journeys.

Example

A retailer exposes product discovery, checkout, and post-purchase operations in a way agent platforms can understand.

Why it matters

If commerce becomes agent-facing, retailers will need machine-readable journeys, not only human web pages.
