Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)
The Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is an open standard designed to power agentic commerce. By providing a common, standardized schema and messaging framework for catalog discovery, shopping carts, checkout processes, and order tracking, UCP allows autonomous AI agents to negotiate, select products, and complete transactions directly on behalf of users. Instead of coding customized APIs for every merchant, agents and platforms can communicate seamlessly using a single, unified protocol.
