Agentic payments

In development

The trust handshake for AI commerce.

Merchants block AI agents because they look like bots. AVA Pay adds the cryptographic handshake built on the Visa Trusted Agent Protocol and Google AP2, so verified agents complete checkout instead of getting turned away as fraud.

One install. Both protocols. Every merchant.

AVA Pay establishes who an agent represents, what it is allowed to spend, and why a merchant can trust the transaction.

Two ends, one handshake

Designed so both sides integrate in minutes.

01   For agents

Install the SDK, register once.

Pull in one package, register your public key with the Agent Directory, and sign every purchase request. The same SDK supports either protocol, so you integrate once and stay neutral on which standard wins.

// three lines to a verified buy
npm install @ava-pay/agent

import { signRequest } from "@ava-pay/agent";
const verdict = await signRequest(cart, mandate);

02   For merchants

One Shopify install. Verified traffic from launch.

Add AVA Pay with a one line SDK or a Shopify plugin. Verified agents pass straight through your fraud filters with their identity and spend mandate attached, and you can route them a configured discount or simply let them check out.

How a verified request flows

Follow a verification end to end.

01

The agent signs

The buying agent generates a fresh Ed25519 signature over the cart and its spend mandate, then sends it with the request.

02

AVA Pay verifies

AVA checks the signature against the registered key, confirms the mandate covers the purchase, and returns a trusted verdict.

03

The merchant accepts

The merchant receives identity, mandate, and any configured discount, and the checkout clears like any trusted customer.

Built for the moment agents stop browsing and start buying.
