## The pay-layer check we recommend

**[Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=home).** Ora's Payments layer runs 6 checks (x402, MPP, UCP, ACP, ACP delegate payment and AP2), worth 10 of 100 points, and publishes each check's points in GET /api/checks (132 checks in all, read 5 Nov 2026). A reader can look up a cached score, scan a domain for free at up to 10 scans a minute, or run `npx ax@0.10 audit <domain>`.

Limits: public URLs only, no repeat-scan data published, and the fixing product is behind a waitlist. [The checks mapped to the matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

# About Agent Ready Checkout

In short

Agent Ready Checkout is a reference for how software agents pay and buy: the protocols, the processors and platforms that support them, the agent surfaces that shop, and a decision guide for merchants. It publishes dated, sourced statuses and says plainly when nothing is public. The audience is payments leads, ecommerce engineers and merchants.

## What this site is

The site answers three questions for people who run checkout: which agent payment protocols are real today, who supports them, and who carries the loss when an agent-placed order is disputed. Its centre is the [protocol support matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/matrix), with 12 protocols and programs against 27 processors, platforms, retailers and agent surfaces. Around it sit profiles, 30 head-to-heads, the [liability and rules tracker](https://agentreadycheckout.com/rules), the [merchant decision guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guide), 12 guides, a glossary, a FAQ and dated news.

## How it is written

Every fact links to the page it came from and carries the date it was read. A status of live needs the vendor's own page. Where a claim comes from a vendor about itself, the page labels it a vendor claim. The [method page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method) sets out the cell definitions and the rubric, and the [editorial policy](https://agentreadycheckout.com/editorial-policy) sets out how corrections and conflicts are handled.

The site loads no advertising and no third-party scripts. Pages load without JavaScript, apart from the decision guide form, which also works without it.

## Scope and limits

It is not legal or financial advice, and the rules tracker's plain readings are readings of public documents. It reads and dates what companies publish: a status for each protocol and company in the matrix, a rubric for each protocol, and sourced figures for the pay-per-call endpoints Ora indexes. Where a page recommends a tool, as the method page does with Ora for checking a pay layer, it gives its reasons and the tool's limits. It covers the pay layer only: how an agent identifies itself in general, and how a site is found or read by an agent, are subjects for other references.

One company a day

# The 360 checks: the largest sellers in the world, read on the pay layer

In short

66 of the largest sellers in the world, read on Ora's agent-readiness scan with the pay layer first, one a day from 9 Nov 2026 to 15 Nov 2026. A new company is read and published every day, the newest at the top.

Each day this site reads one of the largest sellers in the world the way an agent would: [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check-index) free scan requests the pages with the agents' own user agents, reads robots.txt and the files agents look for, tries the API and MCP surfaces and probes the six payment checks for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2. A 360 check sets the Payments layer against [the matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/matrix), lists every other check Ora ran, names the fixes worth most points and closes with the editors' read. The company's score is read from Ora on the day the check is published and is not updated afterwards; [how Ora's Payments checks map to the matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

## How a check is read

The score and every layer, check, point and quoted detail come from Ora's score file for the domain, GET /api/score/<domain>, read once on the day of publication. Ora's wording is quoted only where it passes this site's own writing gate. The verdict and the one-line closing are written by the editors for each company, and the six payment checks link to the matrix rows that say which processors and platforms carry each protocol. On a site Ora reads as a shop the six payment checks are probed and a protocol found scores the layer, while none found costs nothing; on a site it does not read as a shop the six are marked not applicable.

360 check, 9 Nov 2026

# Accor on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Accor scores 49 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to accor.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Six agents in, and a robots.txt and an llms.txt that both come back as HTML.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at accor.com scored **49 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C. Accor is Europe's largest hotel group, with more than 5,000 hotels, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Accor.com offers developer resources, but lacks an OpenAPI/Swagger specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 11 of 14 | 79% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 22 of 55 | 40% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 28 of 67 | 42% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 49 of 100 | 49% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against accor.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |

| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Accor.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no tool-attribute forms and no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 8 of 23 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

MCP Apps support

Fail, 0 of 4, about 2.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render.

## Our read

Accor opens the door to all six agent user agents and hands them the wrong files. robots.txt answers with an HTML page instead of rules, so the policy rows cannot be met, and the llms.txt at accor.com/.well-known/llms.txt is an HTML page too. The home page gives 1,933 characters with an H1 at a 0.9 percent text ratio, and there is neither a sitemap nor JSON-LD. Ora read no commerce signals on the group behind more than 5,000 hotels, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is half built: OpenID Connect discovery at login.accor.com and a documentation portal at developer.accor.com, though the API it describes has no machine-verifiable surface, and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no declared scopes. The brand search placed the domain sixth for a term read off the page, Accor Group Hospitality. Two files served as text would move this C.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Adidas on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Adidas scores 15 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to adidas.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. PerplexityBot blocked, robots.txt a 403, and a Wikipedia match on a boot rather than the company.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at adidas.com scored **15 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Consumer category. Adidas is the German sportswear maker, selling direct online in most of its markets, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 9 | 33% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 33 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 12 of 68 | 18% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 15 of 100 | 15% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against adidas.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on adidas.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

### Discovery: 3 of 9

| API schema complexity analysis | Fail | 0 of 2 | GraphQL: introspection auth-gated and no schema evidence in docs |
| Function calling compatibility | Fail | 0 of 2 | No API spec found - function calling requires discoverable endpoints |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Adidas.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 5.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

## Our read

Adidas blocked PerplexityBot outright, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 and returned no page for the home page, so the Access layer scores 0 of 47 and the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, which for a brand that sells direct on adidas.com is the wall talking. What it could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at adidas.com/graphql with introspection gated, and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. A search for the API documentation returned no official page in ten results, 5.6 points. The odd detail is the knowledge graph: Ora confirmed the domain against the Wikidata item for Adidas and the Wikipedia article for the Predator boot rather than the company. The domain ranks third for its own name. A 403 on robots.txt is the first file to fix.

# Agoda on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Agoda scores 45 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to agoda.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Zero characters of home page and a JSON-LD block that does not parse.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at agoda.com scored **45 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Agoda is the Asia-focused hotel booking site of Booking Holdings, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Agents hit a JavaScript-only homepage and find no MCP server.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 11 | 73% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 18 of 43 | 42% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 21.43 of 63 | 34% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 45 of 100 | 45% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against agoda.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Agoda.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: agoda.com ranks #6 for "agoda" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

Content without JavaScript

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.9 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage: Very little text content (0 chars), and 98% of the page is script and it has almost no text: the content is rendered by JavaScript, so AI crawlers that run none see an empty page.

## Our read

Agoda is the highest-scoring travel seller in this batch and its home page gives an agent zero characters of text: 98 percent of the page is script, so the content row fails, and the JSON-LD blocks it does carry contain invalid JSON. The door is open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, and the sitemap index at agoda.com/sitemaps.xml is valid. Ora read no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is what lifts the C: a developer portal at developer.agoda.com, an OAuth endpoint at login.agoda.com and SDK packages in registries, though the API is described without a machine-verifiable surface and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no WebMCP tool. The domain ranks sixth for its own name. Server-rendered text and a valid JSON-LD block are the two fixes that open the reading side.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Airbnb on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Airbnb scores 14 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to airbnb.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A robots.txt that admits search crawlers, and a shield that challenges every agent anyway.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at airbnb.com scored **14 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Airbnb is the marketplace for short-term stays and experiences, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: a WAF challenge blocks the homepage and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or developer portal.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 10 | 30% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 2.5 of 41 | 6% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 66 | 12% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 14 of 100 | 14% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against airbnb.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Airbnb.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: airbnb.com ranks #7 for "airbnb" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site).

## Our read

Airbnb challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot at the door and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 4 of 53. robots.txt is the one policy an agent can read: the three search crawlers are allowed on the page Ora checked and both training crawlers are refused, with no restriction stated for the user-triggered agents. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the platform most people would name first as something an agent should book. What it could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at api.airbnb.com with introspection gated, and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The domain ranks seventh for its own name. The policy says search yes and training no; the shield says nobody, and the shield comes first.

# Albertsons on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Albertsons scores 23 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to albertsons.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A page titled Pardon Our Interruption, which the scan read as the grocer's name.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at albertsons.com scored **23 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. Albertsons is the second-largest supermarket operator in the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 6 of 15 | 40% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 13 of 54 | 24% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 7 of 50 | 14% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 23 of 100 | 23% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against albertsons.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on albertsons.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

### Discovery: 6 of 15

| Check | Result | Points | What Ora saw |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Albertsons.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 7, about 6.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 5.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "albertsons" developer resources but found nothing relevant.

Brand name discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: albertsons.com was not in the top 10 for "Pardon Our Interruption" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

Albertsons let all four agent user agents through and showed them a page titled Pardon Our Interruption, the interstitial a bot shield serves, and the scan read that title as the brand: the brand search ran on those three words, found nothing, and costs 4.4 points that describe the probe, not the grocer. The page behind it gives 677 characters with a heading tree that skips from H1 to H3, no JSON-LD and no llms.txt; the sitemap is valid and robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers. Ora found no commerce signals on the second largest supermarket chain in the United States, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is empty: no publicly reachable API, and Ora found neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery. Its search for Albertsons developer resources found nothing. Serving the real home page to the named agents fixes the door, the brand search and the content row at once.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Aldi on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Aldi scores 38 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to aldi.us on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. The grocer challenges six crawlers; the GraphQL endpoint behind them asks for a key.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at aldi.us scored **38 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Aldi is the German discount grocer's US arm, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: ALDI.us offers OAuth 2.0 support, but lacks an OpenAPI specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 6 of 11 | 55% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 10 of 49 | 20% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 29 of 68 | 43% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 38 of 100 | 38% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against aldi.us on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No ACP Delegate Payment signals detected |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) signals detected |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Aldi.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 6.1 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "aldi" developer resources but found nothing relevant.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no tool-attribute forms and no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

## Our read

Aldi's US site did not read as a shop to Ora: the six payment checks did not apply on this read, so the pay layer is 0 of 0. The door is the story. Bot management challenged GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended, and robots.txt permits 1 of 3 search pairs, none of the training pairs, and restricts 2 of 3 pairs for the user-triggered agents. Behind it an agent reads 1,395 characters with an H1 at a 1.6 percent content ratio, a valid sitemap, 2 of 4 metadata signals and no JSON-LD; no content pages were sampled, so those rows are unverified rather than failed. The act layer is better than the door: a GraphQL endpoint at aldi.us/graphql asks for a key, OAuth lives at /oauth/authorize, and an NLWeb /ask endpoint sits behind a 403. A search for Aldi's developer resources found nothing, the fix worth most at about 6 points. A D at 38 that shuts the door on the agents who would read the shelves.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Alibaba on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Alibaba scores 41 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to alibaba.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Six agents through the door, onto a home page with zero characters of text.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at alibaba.com scored **41 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Identity & Auth category. Alibaba is the business-to-business marketplace of the Alibaba Group, selling from China to the world, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 9 of 11 | 82% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 20.67 of 43 | 48% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 7.43 of 50 | 15% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 41 of 100 | 41% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against alibaba.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Alibaba.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

## Our read

Alibaba.com lets all six agent user agents in and shows them nothing: the home page renders zero characters of text without JavaScript, there is no sitemap, no JSON-LD and the llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page. The six payment checks did not apply, because no commerce signal could be read from an empty page, which for the largest business-to-business marketplace in the world is a template problem rather than a policy. The act layer is better than the reading layer: REST documentation scores 7 of 7 and developer.alibaba.com is a real portal, though Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, no OAuth discovery, and an agent skills index that does not parse as JSON. robots.txt restricts one of five crawler and page pairs it checked. Ora reads the domain in its Identity and Auth category rather than as a shop. Server-rendered text on the home page is the one fix that opens every reading row.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

# Amazon on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Amazon scores 40 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to amazon.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. At the door, can't verify agent access. A robots.txt that turns the agents away is the whole pay layer.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at amazon.com scored **40 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Amazon is the largest online marketplace in the West, with its own agent, Rufus, and a Buy for Me program, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: robots.txt blocks every search and user-triggered agent, and there is no MCP server or OpenAPI spec.

## The score

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against amazon.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Amazon.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 1.67 of 5, about 2.8 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage: 1990 chars of readable text, but no H1 tag. 2 of 2 sampled inner pages have text without JavaScript (3 skipped).

## Our read

Amazon's robots.txt is the pay layer here. It disallows the OpenAI, Claude and Perplexity search and user agents on every path, which is why the matrix records ACP and UCP on Amazon as not supported, and Ora's own probe was stopped before it could test the door. The six payment checks were run and found no x402, MPP, UCP, ACP or AP2 signal, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0, and the marketplace that sells more online than any other in the West publishes no protocol for an outside agent to buy through, because its policy is that outside agents do not come in. Behind that, the site is thin for agents: 946 characters of home page without an H1, neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt, and no JSON-LD, with a developer portal and a GraphQL endpoint at api.amazon.com for its partners. Rufus and Buy for Me are the company's answer, inside its own walls. The D is a decision, not an oversight.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy. [Why Ora, and its limits](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guides/best-ai-readiness-tools-2026).

# American Airlines on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

American Airlines scores 25 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to aa.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Every agent challenged, and a two-letter domain that search cannot place.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at aa.com scored **25 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. American Airlines is the largest airline in the world by fleet size, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Public API with reachable endpoints, but lacks an OpenAPI specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 12 | 67% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 2 of 52 | 4% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 11 of 58 | 19% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 25 of 100 | 25% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against aa.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Function calling compatibility | Fail | 0 of 2 | No API spec found - function calling requires discoverable endpoints |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for American Airlines.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "aa" developer resources but found nothing relevant.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 4.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

American Airlines challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 2 of 52; robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest airline in the world by passengers carried. What it could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at aa.com/graphql with introspection gated, and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The two-letter domain costs it twice: the search for aa developer resources found nothing, 5.6 points, and the brand search placed aa.com fourth for a term that means many things. The door first; nothing behind it can be judged until it opens.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Booking.com on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Booking.com scores 37 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to booking.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A notice asking the agent to enable JavaScript, and a robots.txt that is a web page.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at booking.com scored **37 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Booking.com is the largest online travel agency in the world by bookings, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Keeps agents at arm's length: no MCP server, no OpenAPI spec, and the homepage renders no text without JavaScript.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8.5 of 13 | 65% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 18.17 of 41 | 44% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 9.43 of 54 | 17% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 37 of 100 | 37% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against booking.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on booking.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

### Discovery: 8.5 of 13

| Check | Result | Points | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ARD discovery | Fail | 0 of 1 | No /.well-known/ard.json, no same-site rel="ard" link, and no legacy /.well-known/ai-catalog.json |
| Developer resource discoverability | Pass | 4 of 4 | Pass, no detail recorded. |

| robots.txt AI crawler policy | Partial | 0.5 of 1 | robots.txt answered an HTML page instead of rules. Crawlers find no rules in it and read the whole site, so your AI crawler policy is not stated. Serve a plain-text robots.txt |
| NPM/PyPI SDK package | Fail | 0 of 1 | No NPM or PyPI SDK package found |
| Agent platform configs | Fail | 0 of 1 | Could not locate a public repo containing agent configs or rules. If our probes missed it, AI coding agents likely will too - link the repo from your homepage or docs so it's discoverable. |

| llms.txt exists | Pass | 1 of 1 | Found the llms.txt at https://developers.booking.com/llms.txt. |
| llms.txt formatting | Partial | 1 of 2 | The llms.txt at https://developers.booking.com/llms.txt is well-formatted with markdown links, but at 99,808 characters it exceeds the 30,000-character recommendation for a navigation index. |
| JSON-LD structured data | Fail | 0 of 2 | No JSON-LD structured data found on homepage |
| Pricing info accessible | Fail | 0 of 3 | No pricing page or pricing data found |
| Public API/docs linked from homepage | Pass | 4 of 4 | Documentation site found at https://developers.booking.com |

| Page token budget | Pass | 1 of 1 | All 6 measured pages fit an agent context budget (largest ~4K tokens) |
| Content starts near the top | Pass | 1 of 1 | Pass, no detail recorded. |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Booking.com.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Partial, 3.43 of 8, about 3.8 points to gain. Ora saw: API described in documentation at https://developers.booking.com but no machine-verifiable API surface confirmed. Best-of-protocols score: 3/7.

## Our read

Booking.com opens the door to all four agent user agents and shows them a notice asking them to enable JavaScript: the home page renders zero characters of text without it, so the content row fails and no JSON-LD is read. robots.txt answers with an HTML page instead of rules, so the policy rows cannot be met, and there is no sitemap. Ora read no commerce signals on the largest online travel agency in the world, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is the part that works: developers.booking.com is a real portal with its own llms.txt, an OAuth endpoint sits at login.booking.com, though the API has no machine-verifiable surface, its endpoints do not answer errors as JSON, and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no declared scopes. The domain ranks sixth for the word booking. An llms.txt for developers and no home page an agent can read; the template is the fix.

# Carnival on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Carnival scores 27 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to carnival.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A scan that searched for carnival and found the festival instead of the cruise line.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at carnival.com scored **27 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. Carnival is the largest cruise company in the world, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Sitemap exists and is fresh, but no OpenAPI specification is published.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 2 of 16 | 13% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 18 of 55 | 33% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 15 of 52 | 29% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 27 of 100 | 27% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against carnival.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Carnival.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 6, about 8.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "carnival" developer resources but found nothing relevant.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 5.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

ARD discovery

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No /.well-known/ai-catalog.json.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Wikipedia / Wikidata entity presence

Fail, 0 of 4, about 3.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No Wikipedia article or Wikidata entity found for "carnival" - creating a Wikipedia page and a Wikidata item with P856 = carnival.com is the highest-impact step for AI search citation coverage.

## Our read

Carnival's 27 is a name problem before it is a site problem. The Discovery layer reads 2 of 16 because the scan searched for carnival and found the festival: no Wikipedia article or Wikidata item matched the domain, the brand search placed carnival.com tenth for the word Cruises, and the search for Carnival developer resources found nothing, 8.3 points on its own. The site itself is open: all six agent user agents get in, robots.txt allows every crawler without naming an AI tier, the sitemap is valid and five sampled pages read; the home page gives 1,547 characters without an H1, and there is neither JSON-LD nor an llms.txt. Ora read no commerce signals on the largest cruise operator in the world, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is a gated GraphQL endpoint at carnival.com/graphql, with neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification around it. An Organization block naming Carnival Corporation would tell the search which carnival this is.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Carrefour on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Carrefour scores 60 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to carrefour.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A C earned by having almost nothing for the checklist to test.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at carrefour.com scored **60 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C. Carrefour is the French grocery group, selling online in its home market and abroad, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Carrefour offers strong product discovery and search indexing, but lacks WebMCP support for agent integration.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 10 of 11 | 91% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 13 of 39 | 33% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 9 of 14 | 64% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 60 of 100 | 60% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against carrefour.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Carrefour.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 15.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 6 of 6 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

JSON-LD structured data

Fail, 0 of 4, about 3.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No JSON-LD structured data found on homepage.

Agent auth discovery metadata

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.8 points to gain. Ora saw: Neither /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource nor /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server found. Probed: carrefour.com, api.carrefour.com.

Agent instruction / when-to-use

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No agent instruction file with when-to-use guidance found.

Pricing info accessible

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No pricing page or pricing data found.

## Our read

Carrefour's 60 is a C earned by having little to check: the Usability layer has a maximum of 14 and the Access layer 39, because corporate carrefour.com publishes neither an API nor a developer portal, and no MCP server, so the rows that fail elsewhere drop out of the denominator. The door is open to ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot and Claude-User, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers and the sitemap carries 1,407 entries; the home page gives 780 characters without an H1, with neither JSON-LD nor an llms.txt. Ora read no commerce signals on the corporate domain of Europe's largest food retailer, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, the shops living on country domains the scan did not visit. The WebMCP estimate of 15.9 points is large only because so few checks apply. The brand search ran on the page title, Welcome at Carrefour, and placed the domain third. The score measures what a site attempts.

# Chewy on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Chewy scores 26 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to chewy.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A UCP profile scoring 3 of 3, behind a door that challenges every agent.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at chewy.com scored **26 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's E-commerce category. Chewy is the online pet supplies retailer of the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Chewy turns agents away at the door: its homepage is blocked by a WAF challenge and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or OAuth support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 4 of 10 | 40% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 2 of 40 | 5% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 11 of 66 | 17% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 3 of 3 | 100% | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 26 of 100 | 26% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against chewy.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)) |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)) |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)). |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)) |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Chewy.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 3.8 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

## Our read

Chewy is the one company among the sellers read here with a scored pay layer. A UCP discovery profile sits at chewy.com/.well-known/ucp, version 2026-01-23, declaring the checkout and fulfillment capabilities, and Ora scores the Payments layer 3 of 3 on it, which no other seller read so far has managed. The rest of the read is a wall. Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, and the home page came back as a security challenge, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 4 of 49. robots.txt is open to the search and training crawlers, the sitemap index is valid, and the act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at api.chewy.com with introspection gated, with neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and no llms.txt; Ora's search for Chewy developer resources found nothing. A pet retailer has published the file the largest sellers here have not, then shut the door on the agents that would read it.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy. [Why Ora, and its limits](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guides/best-ai-readiness-tools-2026).

# Costco on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Costco scores 26 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to costco.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An open door onto 414 characters and a GraphQL endpoint behind a key.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at costco.com scored **26 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's E-commerce category. Costco is the membership warehouse club, selling online to members in a dozen countries, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 10 | 30% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 10.67 of 38 | 28% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 14 of 65 | 22% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 26 of 100 | 26% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against costco.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Costco.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 66 of 66 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: costco.com ranks #7 for "costco" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

## Our read

Costco opens the door and gives an agent 414 characters to read. All four agent user agents reach costco.com, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers and the sitemap index is valid, but the home page renders almost nothing without JavaScript, carries no JSON-LD and the domain has no llms.txt. The six payment checks did not apply on this read, and Ora's UCP probe found no signal on the domain, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0. The act layer is what a warehouse club's public site would be expected to have, which is a GraphQL endpoint at ecom-api.costco.com with introspection gated, and nothing else: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth beyond a mention on the home page. Ora's search for Costco developer resources found nothing, which costs 5.6 points on its own. A members-only business has reasons to keep its API private; the home page text is the fix that costs nothing.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Coupang on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Coupang scores 29 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to coupang.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An MCP server at the support desk, behind a door that challenges every agent.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at coupang.com scored **29 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Coupang is South Korea's largest online retailer, with next-day delivery across the country, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: the homepage is behind a WAF challenge, and no OpenAPI spec or developer portal exists.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7 of 13 | 54% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 1 of 51 | 2% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 25 of 66 | 38% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 29 of 100 | 29% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against coupang.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on coupang.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Coupang.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 3.4 points to gain. Ora saw: coupang.com ranks #10 for "coupang" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site).

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

## Our read

Coupang has an act layer behind a wall. Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 1 of 51. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest online retailer in South Korea. Past the door: an MCP server at support.coupang.com/mcp that answers and requires authentication, OAuth authorization server metadata beside it, and a GraphQL endpoint at coupang.com/graphql with introspection gated, which is why the Usability layer reads 25 of 66. Ora found neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, and neither declared scopes nor a sitemap. The brand search placed coupang.com tenth for its own name. The server is built; the door in front of it is shut.

## Test your own checkout

# CVS on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

CVS scores 25 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to cvs.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An llms.txt behind a door that admits one agent of four.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at cvs.com scored **25 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. CVS is the US pharmacy and health retailer, with an online store beside its pharmacy services, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: CVS has basic brand discoverability and web presence, but lacks an OpenAPI specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 9 of 14 | 64% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 9 of 55 | 16% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 62 | 13% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 25 of 100 | 25% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against cvs.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for CVS.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "cvs" developer resources but found nothing relevant.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

CVS lets Claude-User in and challenges ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot, and the home page could not be fetched at all, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified while the door is partly shut. The one agent file it publishes is an llms.txt at cvs.com/llms.txt, a rarer thing among US retailers than it should be, and the sitemap index is valid; robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, which for a pharmacy with an online store is the wall rather than the shop. The act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at cvs.com/graphql with introspection gated, and Ora found neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery. Its search for CVS developer resources found nothing relevant, 4.8 points on its own. The F reads harder than the site deserves; the door decides it.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Delta Air Lines on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Delta Air Lines scores 13 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to delta.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A read that got no page back, on the lowest score among the sellers here.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at delta.com scored **13 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Delta Air Lines is the largest airline in the world by revenue, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: no MCP server, no OpenAPI spec and no public API to call.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 4 of 9 | 44% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 33 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 3 of 50 | 6% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 13 of 100 | 13% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against delta.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Delta Air Lines.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

## Our read

Delta's 13 is the lowest score among the sellers read here, and most of it is a read that never started: Ora's request for the home page got no page back, the agent user agents could not be tested and robots.txt could not be fetched, so the door, content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 0 of 45. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the airline with the largest revenue of any in the world. What could be probed came back empty: no publicly reachable API, neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery. A search for the API documentation returned no official page in ten results, 6.7 points, and the brand search placed delta.com sixth for a word with other meanings. Whether the airline rate-limited the scanner or turned it away is for a second scan; the act layer is empty either way.

# Dick's Sporting Goods on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Dick's Sporting Goods scores 16 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to dickssportinggoods.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Six agents blocked at the door, and a GraphQL endpoint waiting behind the shield.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at dickssportinggoods.com scored **16 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. Dick's Sporting Goods is the largest sporting goods retailer in the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Public API with reachable endpoints, but lacks an OpenAPI specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 8 | 38% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 44 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 44 | 18% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 16 of 100 | 16% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against dickssportinggoods.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Dick's Sporting Goods.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 6.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Developer resource discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent struggled to find developer resources by name - only 1 result(s) out of 10. Not found in this search sample: API docs, OpenAPI spec, developer portal, auth docs, MCP server, SDK documentation.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: dickssportinggoods.com appears once in brand-name search results for "dickssportinggoods" (position #5 out of 7).

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 5.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 5.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no tool-attribute forms and no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

## Our read

Dick's Sporting Goods turns agents away at the door, and with the home page unreadable Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. Bot detection blocked GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended, and robots.txt answered with a 403. The Access layer reads 0 of 44. Because the home page could not be fetched, the JSON-LD, metadata and text rows are unverified rather than failed. Behind the shield there is more than the score shows: a GraphQL endpoint at dickssportinggoods.com/graphql whose introspection requires authentication, an SDK package on npm, and an NLWeb /ask endpoint that answers with a 403. Neither an MCP server nor an OpenAPI specification turned up, and the MCP server is the fix worth most, about 6 points. The brand search and the Wikipedia lookup ran on the bare string dickssportinggoods, which describes the probe more than the retailer. An F at 16, decided at the door before a single shelf was read.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Dollar General on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Dollar General scores 50 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to dollargeneral.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Four agent files published, and four of them fail to parse.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at dollargeneral.com scored **50 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C. Dollar General is the discount chain with the most stores in the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Dollar General offers solid search visibility and crawlability, but lacks a public API and OpenAPI specification for agent integration.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 10 of 14 | 71% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 25 of 53 | 47% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 20 of 48 | 42% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 50 of 100 | 50% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against dollargeneral.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No ACP Delegate Payment signals detected |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) signals detected |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Dollar General.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 7, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

JSON error responses

Fail, 0 of 4, about 3.7 points to gain. Ora saw: API does not return JSON error responses (or no API detected).

## Our read

Dollar General has more agent files than most retailers here, and they are broken. The agent skills index at /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json is not valid JSON, the A2A agent card is not valid JSON, the MCP manifest path redirects to a 404 page, and the llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page: four files, four parse failures. The reading side is better: the door is open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the sitemap is valid and the home page gives 11,784 characters of text, without an H1 and with one JSON-LD block that lacks an identity type. The six payment checks did not apply on this read, and Ora's UCP probe found no signal on the domain of the retailer with more stores than any other in the United States. The act layer is OpenID Connect discovery and nothing else, with no publicly reachable API. Fix the four files and the C moves on its own.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# DoorDash on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

DoorDash scores 33 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to doordash.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A delivery platform whose agents meet a challenge page before a menu.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at doordash.com scored **33 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. DoorDash is the largest food and local delivery marketplace in the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks the homepage and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or WebMCP support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 6 of 9 | 67% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 10.5 of 40 | 26% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 14 of 66 | 21% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 33 of 100 | 33% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against doordash.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

| Markdown content negotiation (acceptmarkdown.com) | Fail | 0 of 1 | Homepage https://doordash.com does not meet the Markdown negotiation requirements: Accept: text/markdown returned text/html; charset=utf-8; Vary header missing Accept (got "accept-encoding") |
| Agent crawler reachability | Partial | 0 of 1 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot - a challenge is an identity check verified crawlers pass, so reachability is undetermined rather than blocked (ChatGPT-User: challenged |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for DoorDash.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: doordash.com ranks #7 for "doordash" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site).

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

## Our read

DoorDash challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot at the door, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 challenge and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 11 of 51. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the platform that delivers more restaurant orders than any other in the United States. What it could reach is the act layer: developer.doordash.com is a real documentation portal, though the API content Ora could read was unclear, and OpenID Connect discovery is at identity.doordash.com. It found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, neither declared scopes nor a sitemap, and no llms.txt. The brand search placed doordash.com eighth for its own name, 3.7 points. An order placed by an agent is the obvious next product for a delivery company; the agents that would place it meet a challenge page.

# easyJet on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

easyJet scores 17 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to easyjet.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Not in the top ten for its own name, behind a door that challenges every agent.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at easyjet.com scored **17 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. easyJet is the British low-cost carrier selling seats direct across Europe, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot protection blocks them, and the homepage shows nothing without JavaScript.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 2 of 10 | 20% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 4.5 of 42 | 11% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 13 of 66 | 20% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 17 of 100 | 17% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against easyjet.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for easyJet.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: easyjet.com ranks #7 for "easyjet" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site).

## Our read

easyJet challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 5 of 53; robots.txt, which could be read, allows the search and training crawlers, and the sitemap index is valid. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on an airline that sells almost every seat through its own site and app. The act layer is OpenID Connect discovery at identity.easyjet.com and a GraphQL endpoint at api.easyjet.com with introspection gated; Ora found neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor an llms.txt. The Discovery layer is the surprise at 6 of 14: easyjet.com was not in the top ten for its own name, and a search for its API documentation returned no official page, 9.6 points between them. An airline a search cannot find, behind a door agents cannot pass.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# eBay on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

eBay scores 30 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to ebay.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A read that got no page back, and an MCP package on npm without a handshake.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at ebay.com scored **30 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. eBay is the global marketplace for new and used goods, selling in more than 190 markets, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 9 | 89% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 33 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 16.33 of 68 | 24% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 30 of 100 | 30% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against ebay.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for eBay.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 5.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

Public API/docs linked from homepage

Fail, 0 of 4, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: No public API or documentation page linked from homepage.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

eBay's read never got past the door, though not because the door was shut: Ora's request for the home page got no page back, the agent user agents could not be tested and robots.txt could not be fetched, so the door, content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified rather than failed, and the Access layer reads 0 of 45. Ora found no commerce signals on a marketplace with more than a billion live listings, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. What it did find is on the act layer: a first-party MCP package on npm, @ebay/npm-public-api-mcp, credited without a live handshake, and a GraphQL endpoint at api.ebay.com with introspection gated. It found neither an OpenAPI specification nor OAuth discovery, neither a developer portal nor declared scopes, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The domain ranks fourth for its own name and matched a Wikidata item without a Wikipedia article. A second scan decides whether the 30 is the site or the day.

# Emirates on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Emirates scores 20 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to emirates.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. At the door, agents blocked: ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot. Four agents blocked outright and a robots.txt that answers 403.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at emirates.com scored **20 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. Emirates is the Dubai carrier and the largest international airline by passenger kilometres, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, and no public API or OpenAPI spec exists.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 5 of 10 | 50% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 47 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 10 of 51 | 20% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 20 of 100 | 20% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against emirates.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Emirates.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 7, about 6.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

## Our read

Emirates blocked ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot outright, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 and returned no page for the home page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 0 of 47. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest international airline in the world. What it could reach is an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at auth.emirates.com, and nothing else: no publicly reachable API, and neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor a sitemap, and no llms.txt. A search for the API documentation returned no official page in ten results, 6.7 points. The brand search placed emirates.com fourth for a word that is also a country, and Ora matched a Wikidata item without a Wikipedia article. A block is a policy rather than a glitch; the checklist asks the airline to state it in a robots.txt an agent can fetch.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Etsy on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Etsy scores 49 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to etsy.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Three protocols announced in the matrix, behind a door that blocks the agents.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at etsy.com scored **49 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C, in Ora's E-commerce category. Etsy is the marketplace for handmade and vintage goods that sits in this site's matrix as a column, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Etsy offers a developer documentation site and llms.txt, but bot detection blocks major AI agents and no OpenAPI spec is published.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 11 of 15 | 73% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 15.5 of 38 | 41% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 25.759999999999998 of 60 | 43% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 49 of 100 | 49% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against etsy.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Etsy.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Listed in MCP registries

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No verified entry in the official MCP Registry or on Smithery, and no npm or PyPI package of yours that runs as an MCP server. To pass.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Partial, 3.43 of 8, about 3.4 points to gain. Ora saw: Documentation site found at https://developer.etsy.com but API content unclear. Best-of-protocols score: 3/7.

## Our read

Etsy is the marketplace in this site's matrix with the most announced cells, ACP, UCP and AP2 all recorded as announced and Link for agents as live, and Ora finds no commerce signal on etsy.com itself, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The gap is the door: ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot were blocked while a browser got in, and the home page returned no page to read, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified. Behind the door the act layer is the best among the marketplaces here, with an MCP server at help.etsy.com/mcp that answers and requires authentication, OAuth authorization server metadata beside it, a developer portal and an llms.txt at developer.etsy.com. Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor declared scopes, and no sitemap, and the API content it could read scored 3 of 7. The domain ranks sixth for its own name. Letting the agents in would let the announced cells be scored.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Expedia on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Expedia scores 11 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to expedia.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An llms.txt on the root, and a Usability layer of 1 of 44.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at expedia.com scored **11 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Expedia is the US online travel group selling flights, hotels and packages, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 10 | 30% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 3 of 29 | 10% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 1 of 51 | 2% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 11 of 100 | 11% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against expedia.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Expedia.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 9.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

## Our read

Expedia publishes an llms.txt at expedia.com/llms.txt, ahead of most travel sellers here on that row, and almost nothing else could be read: Ora's request for the home page got no page back and the agent user agents could not be tested, so the door, content and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 4 of 41. robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on one of the two largest online travel agencies. The act layer is where the 17 is earned: the Usability layer reads 1 of 44, with no publicly reachable API, and neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and no sitemap. The domain ranks ninth for its own name. A company that sells APIs to the rest of the travel industry shows none on its own domain; a second scan decides what the door is doing.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

# Flipkart on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Flipkart scores 34 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to flipkart.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. The most readable home page here, and nothing for an agent to do on it.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at flipkart.com scored **34 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Flipkart is India's largest online marketplace, owned by Walmart, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 10 of 11 | 91% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 14 of 43 | 33% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 3 of 54 | 6% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 34 of 100 | 34% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against flipkart.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Flipkart.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 1 of 1 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

Flipkart has the most readable home page among the sellers here, 20,464 characters at a 6.6 percent text ratio with nine H2s under two H1s, and the door is open to all four agent user agents. The rest is missing: robots.txt could not be fetched, there is no sitemap, no JSON-LD and no llms.txt, and the five sampled pages read without substantive content. The six payment checks did not apply on this read, and Ora's UCP probe found no signal on the largest marketplace in India, where the checkout is the product. The act layer is empty: no publicly reachable API, and neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, which is why the Usability layer reads 10 of 53. The brand search placed the domain fifth for a term the scan rewrote as flipkart e commerce marketplace. A marketplace that writes a page agents can read, and gives them nothing to do on it.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Gap on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Gap scores 40 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to gap.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. 675 characters on the home page, no H1, and an llms.txt that serves HTML.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at gap.com scored **40 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Consumer category. Gap is the US apparel retailer behind Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Gives agents little to work with: no WebMCP, no llms.txt, and product pages with almost no text without JavaScript.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 6 | 50% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 15.84 of 26 | 61% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 4 of 17 | 24% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 40 of 100 | 40% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against gap.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Gap.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 17.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 38 of 38 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

MCP Apps support

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 7.4 points to gain. Ora saw: gap.com ranks #9 for "Gap" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

Product + docs MCP coverage

Fail, 0 of 2, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: This bonus needs two MCP servers: one for your product so agents can take actions, and a separate one for your documentation so agents can answer questions from your docs.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 1.67 of 5, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage: 675 chars of readable text, but no H1 tag. Sampled pages with almost no text without JavaScript (5 of 5): https://www.gap.com/browse/accessories (62 chars), https://www.gap.com/browse/back-to-school-shop (62 chars).

## Our read

Gap sells three apparel brands online, yet Ora found no commerce signals on gap.com, so the payment checks did not apply on this read and the Payments layer reads 0 of 0. The rest decides the score. The door is open: all four test agents reached the home page, and robots.txt allows the AI search crawlers in 3 of 3 checks. Inside there is little to read: 675 characters of text without an H1, an llms.txt address that returns an HTML page, an Organization block with no description and metadata at 2 of 4, though the sitemap is valid. The brand search put gap.com eighth for its own name. Access reads 14.84 of 25. The act layer is bare, with neither a public API nor an MCP server, and the OAuth row is unverified rather than failed because a bot shield answered at auth.gap.com. WebMCP is the fix worth most, about 17.8 points. A D at 40: the shop window holds 675 characters and the till is out of sight.

# Hertz on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Hertz scores 59 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to hertz.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A score of 59 on a home page of 59 characters.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at hertz.com scored **59 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C. Hertz is the car rental company with a fleet in more than 160 countries, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Hertz provides strong brand discoverability and sitemaps, but requires JavaScript rendering for page content.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 10 of 11 | 91% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 16 of 40 | 40% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 14 | 57% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 59 of 100 | 59% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against hertz.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on hertz.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Hertz.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 15.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 5 of 5 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

Agent auth discovery metadata

Fail, 0 of 3, about 3.4 points to gain. Ora saw: Neither /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource nor /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server found. Probed: hertz.com, api.hertz.com.

Agent-friendly 404s

Partial, 1 of 2, about 3.2 points to gain. Ora saw: The nonexistent path https://hertz.com/\_\_ora-404-probe-i1euvre1 correctly returns HTTP 404. Partial credit: no Markdown error body was detected.

Agent instruction / when-to-use

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No agent instruction file with when-to-use guidance found.

Content without JavaScript

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.5 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage: Very little text content (59 chars) - likely JS-rendered, invisible to AI crawlers. Sampled pages with almost no text without JavaScript (4 of 4): https://www.hertz.com/p/collections/dream (59 chars).

## Our read

Hertz scores 59 with a home page of 59 characters, and both numbers have the same cause: the site publishes neither an API nor a developer portal, and no MCP server, so the Usability layer has a maximum of 14 and the rows that fail elsewhere are not counted. The door is open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers and the sitemap carries 212 entries; the page is rendered by JavaScript, with one JSON-LD block that lacks an identity type and no llms.txt. Ora read no commerce signals on one of the largest car rental companies in the world, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is OpenID Connect discovery at auth.hertz.com and nothing else; the WebMCP estimate of 15.9 points is large because so few checks apply. hertz.com ranks second for Car Rental. A rental is the booking an agent makes after the flight, and the page it lands on is 59 characters.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# H&M on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

H&M scores 15 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to hm.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Every agent challenged and robots.txt a 403, on a two-letter name that ranks fifth.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at hm.com scored **15 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Consumer category. H&M is the Swedish fashion group, selling online in more than 60 markets, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: a WAF blocks the homepage and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or WebMCP support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 2 of 8 | 25% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 34 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 13 of 63 | 21% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 15 of 100 | 15% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against hm.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for H&M.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 11.1 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

## Our read

H&M's 20 is the door. Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt itself answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer scores 0 of 50. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, which for one of the two largest fashion retailers in the world is the shield talking. What it could reach is an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at id.hm.com and a GraphQL endpoint at api.hm.com with introspection gated; it found neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor a sitemap, and no llms.txt, and in a search for the API documentation none of the ten results was an official page, 6.7 points on its own. The domain ranks fifth for a two-letter name and matched a Wikidata item without a Wikipedia article. The door is the fix.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Home Depot on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Home Depot scores 16 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to homedepot.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Six agents challenged at the door, and an Access layer of 0 of 50 behind it.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at homedepot.com scored **16 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's E-commerce category. Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer, selling online and in store across North America, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks the homepage, and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or WebMCP support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 9 | 33% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 39 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 13 of 66 | 20% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 16 of 100 | 16% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against homedepot.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

| Markdown content negotiation (acceptmarkdown.com) | Fail | 0 of 1 | Homepage https://homedepot.com does not meet the Markdown negotiation requirements: Accept: text/markdown returned text/html; Vary header missing Accept (got "none") |
| Agent crawler reachability | Partial | 0 of 1 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot - a challenge is an identity check verified crawlers pass, so reachability is undetermined rather than blocked (ChatGPT-User: challenged |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Home Depot.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

## Our read

Home Depot's door is shut to every agent Ora sends: bot management challenged GPTBot, ClaudeBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Applebot-Extended, robots.txt itself answered with a 403 challenge, and the home page came back as a security page, so the Access layer scores 0 of 50 and the content, structured data and policy rows are unverified from the outside. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, which for the largest home improvement retailer is the shield talking rather than the shop. What it did find is an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at identity.homedepot.com and a GraphQL endpoint at api.homedepot.com with introspection gated; it found neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor a sitemap, and no llms.txt, and it matched neither a Wikipedia article nor a Wikidata item for the domain. Letting the named agents through is the first fix, and the only one that lets the rest be judged.

# Hyatt on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Hyatt scores 18 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to hyatt.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A hotel group an agent can find in search and cannot enter at the door.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at hyatt.com scored **18 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Hyatt is the US hotel group selling rooms and loyalty stays direct, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot from the homepage.

## The score

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 6 of 11 | 55% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 34 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 9 of 68 | 13% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |

| Total | 18 of 100 | 18% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against hyatt.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Hyatt.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

## Our read

Hyatt blocked ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 and returned no page for the home page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 0 of 47. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on a hotel group with more than 1,300 properties whose rooms are the kind of booking an agent is asked to make first. What it could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at hyatt.com/graphql with introspection gated, and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. A search for the API documentation returned no official page in ten results, 4.8 points. The Discovery layer is the one that holds up, 10 of 14, with hyatt.com third for its own name and a confirmed Wikipedia and Wikidata match. Found in search, refused at the door.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# IHG on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

IHG scores 18 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to ihg.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Six thousand hotels and no door an agent can walk through.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at ihg.com scored **18 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. IHG is the hotel group behind Holiday Inn and InterContinental, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Blocks agents at the door: a WAF challenge stops them on the homepage, and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or OAuth support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 6 of 11 | 55% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 1 of 40 | 3% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 66 | 12% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 18 of 100 | 18% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against ihg.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for IHG.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

## Our read

IHG challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 challenge and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 1 of 51. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on a group of more than 6,000 hotels. What it could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at ihg.com/graphql with introspection gated, and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. A search for the API documentation returned no official page in ten results, 5.6 points. The brand search is the one row in good order, ihg.com second for its three letters, and Ora matched a Wikidata item without a Wikipedia article. Six thousand hotels, and the front door is a challenge page.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# IKEA on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

IKEA scores 47 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to ikea.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. UCP at .well-known/ucp scores the pay layer 3 of 3; the act layer is empty.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at ikea.com scored **47 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. IKEA is the Swedish furniture retailer, selling online in more than 60 markets, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: no WebMCP or MCP Apps support, no llms.txt.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 5 of 6 | 83% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 15.83 of 26 | 61% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 1 of 14 | 7% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 3 of 3 | 100% | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 47 of 100 | 47% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against ikea.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)) |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)) |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)). |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | Not required: An agent wallet checkout already gives agents a way to pay, and one is enough (UCP checkout declares wallet handlers an agent can pay with (com.google.pay)) |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for IKEA.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 16 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 10 of 10 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

MCP Apps support

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render.

Product + docs MCP coverage

Fail, 0 of 2, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: This bonus needs two MCP servers: one for your product so agents can take actions, and a separate one for your documentation so agents can answer questions from your docs.

Pricing info accessible

Fail, 0 of 3, about 3.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No pricing page or pricing data found.

ARD discovery

Fail, 0 of 1, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No /.well-known/ard.json, no same-site rel="ard" link, and no legacy /.well-known/ai-catalog.json.

## Our read

IKEA's pay layer is the thing that turns this read. Ora found a UCP discovery profile at ikea.com/.well-known/ucp, version 2026-04-08, declaring the checkout and fulfillment capabilities, so UCP passes at 3 of 3 and the other five payment checks are marked not required, since one protocol is sufficient. The door matches: all four test agents reached the home page, robots.txt allows every AI crawler checked, and no restriction applies to the user-triggered agents. The reading layer is middling, a home page of 4,843 characters with an H1 at a 3.5 percent content ratio, a valid sitemap index, complete metadata and a full Organization block with description, url, logo and address, but no llms.txt. The act layer is the gap: neither an API nor an MCP server, OAuth is absent, and WebMCP is missing from all 10 script bundles, the single fix worth about 12 points. A B at 71 that an agent can pay through but cannot yet operate.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Instacart on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Instacart scores 54 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to instacart.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. The highest score among the sellers, with a live MCP handshake and no payment protocol.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at instacart.com scored **54 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C, in Ora's E-commerce category. Instacart is the grocery delivery marketplace of the United States, selling from more than 1,500 retail banners, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Instacart offers a working MCP and llms.txt presence and a published SDK package, but lacks an OpenAPI specification and WebMCP support for agents.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7.5 of 14 | 54% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 23.67 of 42 | 56% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 48.8 of 94 | 52% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 54 of 100 | 54% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against instacart.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Instacart.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Listed in MCP registries

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No verified entry in the official MCP Registry or on Smithery, and no npm or PyPI package of yours that runs as an MCP server. To pass.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 3.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 3.2 points to gain. Ora saw: instacart.com ranks #8 for "Instacart" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

Pricing info accessible

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No pricing page or pricing data found.

## Our read

Instacart is the highest score among the sellers read here, 63, and the one with a live MCP handshake: Ora connected to InstacartRecipeServer version 1.0.0 over Streamable HTTP, beside REST documentation at /docs/api, a reachable GraphQL endpoint at api.instacart.com, an OAuth endpoint at instacart.com/oauth/authorize and an llms.txt at docs.instacart.com. Ora probed the six payment checks on a site it reads as a shop and found no x402, MPP, UCP, ACP or AP2 signal, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0 on a platform whose product is a checkout made on someone's behalf. The home page is the best written in this batch, 5,640 characters at a 14.8 percent text ratio with a full heading tree. The policy is the odd row: robots.txt admits one of three search crawlers, neither training crawler, and restricts two of three user-triggered agents, while the door is open to all four. There is neither an OpenAPI specification nor a sitemap. A recipe server is a start; a checkout protocol is the product.

# JD.com on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

JD.com scores 33 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to jd.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A React root with nothing in it, read by agents that run no scripts.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at jd.com scored **33 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. JD.com is China's largest retailer by revenue, selling online with its own logistics, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: the homepage renders its content with JavaScript, so agents that run none see an empty page.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 15 | 53% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 19 of 55 | 35% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 10 of 45 | 22% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 33 of 100 | 33% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against jd.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

| robots.txt agent-user policy | Pass | 2 of 2 | No applicable crawl or usage restriction found for 3 user-triggered agents (chatgpt-user, claude-user, perplexity-user) on 1 public page: https://jd.com/. Declared policy only |
| llms.txt exists | Partial | 0 of 1 | A file is present at https://www.jd.com/.well-known/llms.txt, but it returns an HTML page rather than a plain-text llms.txt. |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for JD.com.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 5.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

## Our read

JD.com's home page is an empty mount node: six characters of text, a React root with nothing in it and the content rendered by JavaScript, so the content row fails and the six payment checks did not apply because no commerce signal could be read, on the site of China's largest retailer by revenue. The door is mostly open, with ChatGPT-User, Claude-User and PerplexityBot admitted and OAI-SearchBot unverified, and robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers. The files around the page are the wrong kind or missing: the llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page, there is no sitemap and no JSON-LD, and the developer documentation Ora found is the home page itself. Ora found no MCP server, no OpenAPI specification and no OAuth discovery, and its search for the API documentation returned none of the official pages in ten results. The brand search ran on a product term the scan read off the page, JoyGen, and found nothing. The template is the fix.

Kroger scores 20 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to kroger.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A scan that could not fetch the site, so nothing here is a verdict yet.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at kroger.com scored **20 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. Kroger is the largest supermarket operator in the United States, selling groceries online for pickup and delivery, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Kroger offers strong developer resource discoverability, but lacks WebMCP support implementation.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 10 of 11 | 91% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 29 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 0 of 7 | 0% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 20 of 100 | 20% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against kroger.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Kroger.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 31.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Agent auth discovery metadata

Fail, 0 of 3, about 13.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Neither /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource nor /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server found. Probed: kroger.com, api.kroger.com.

agent\_auth endpoints reachable

Fail, 0 of 2, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No agent\_auth endpoint URIs found in AS metadata or /auth.md prose; nothing to probe.

auth.md exists

Fail, 0 of 2, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No /auth.md found at site root.

auth.md structure

Fail, 0 of 2, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No /auth.md found at site root.

## Our read

Kroger's 20 is a read that never got started. Ora could not fetch the home page, could not test the agent user agents, could not read robots.txt and found no sitemap, so every row from the door to the structured data is unverified on this scan rather than failed by the site, and the Access and Usability layers read 0 of 29 and 0 of 7 because almost nothing could be probed. With so few checks applicable the estimates are enormous, 31.7 points for WebMCP alone, and should be ignored. The six payment checks did not apply because no commerce signal could be read, and the act layer shows no API, no developer portal and no MCP server, which on a scan that could not fetch the site means nothing either way. Whether the grocer rate-limited the scanner, timed out or turned it away is for a second scan on another day; nothing on this page should be acted on before that.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Lowe's on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Lowe's scores 42 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to lowes.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A page titled Access Denied, which the scan read as the brand name.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at lowes.com scored **42 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Lowe's is the second home improvement chain in the United States, selling online and in store, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Bot detection turns agents away at the door, and the homepage shows only 207 characters of text without JavaScript.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 6 of 10 | 60% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 13.67 of 25 | 55% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 9 of 39 | 23% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 42 of 100 | 42% | Grade D |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Lowe's.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 9.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: lowes.com was not in the top 10 for "Access Denied" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

MCP Apps support

Fail, 0 of 4, about 4.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 1.67 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage: Only 207 chars of text content - agents see limited content. No inner pages checked: the scan found none to sample.

CLI tool available

Fail, 0 of 3, about 3.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No CLI tool found.

## Our read

Lowe's answered Ora with a page titled Access Denied, and the scan read that title as the brand: the brand search ran on the words Access Denied, found nothing, and costs 6.7 points that say more about the probe than the retailer. Bot management challenged GPTBot, ChatGPT-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge, and the home page gave 207 characters of text, so the door and the content rows read as shut. Ora found no commerce signals past that, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, which for the second home improvement chain in the United States is the wall rather than the shop. developer.lowes.com exists and describes an API with no machine-verifiable surface, its llms.txt returns an HTML page, and there is no OpenAPI specification, no MCP server and no OAuth discovery. Ora matched a Wikidata item without a Wikipedia article. Letting the named agents through fixes the door, the brand search and the content row in one setting.

# Lufthansa on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Lufthansa scores 36 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to lufthansa.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Four agents blocked and five crawlers welcomed, by a shield and a policy that disagree.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at lufthansa.com scored **36 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Lufthansa is the largest airline group in Europe by revenue, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity, and no MCP server or OpenAPI spec exists.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 6 of 10 | 60% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 15.5 of 39 | 40% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 15 of 72 | 21% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 36 of 100 | 36% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against lufthansa.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Lufthansa.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: lufthansa.com ranks #8 for "lufthansa" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site).

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

## Our read

Lufthansa blocks the agents and welcomes the crawlers: ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot were refused while robots.txt permits the three search and two training crawlers Ora checked and states no restriction on user-triggered agents, a policy and a shield pointing in different directions. The home page returned no page to read, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified, and there is no sitemap. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest airline group in Europe. The act layer is the developer portal: developer.lufthansa.com is real and carries an llms.txt, and the airline's open API is described there, but Ora could confirm no machine-verifiable surface, the OAuth it mentions answered at no standard endpoint, and there is neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no declared scopes. The domain ranks eighth for its own name. The portal has done work the home page undoes; the two should agree.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Lululemon on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Lululemon scores 15 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to lululemon.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A reachable GraphQL endpoint with no OpenAPI specification, portal or findable docs around it.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at lululemon.com scored **15 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Consumer category. Lululemon is the Vancouver athletic apparel brand, selling direct online, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 4 of 9 | 44% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 33 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 68 | 12% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 15 of 100 | 15% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against lululemon.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Lululemon.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 5.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

## Our read

Lululemon is read through a closed window. Ora's request for the home page came back empty, so the bot-detection test, the robots.txt policy for search and user-triggered agents, content without JavaScript, JSON-LD and metadata are unverified rather than failed; Ora notes that a rate limit, server error or timeout is not a block. The six payment checks did not apply on this read, since Ora did not read the site as a shop. The Access layer reads 0 of 33. Behind the storefront there is an interface: a GraphQL endpoint at api.lululemon.com/graphql is reachable, with introspection behind authentication. Around it, Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no developer portal; a search for the API docs returned no official page among 10 results. No sitemap turned up, and nothing answers at /llms.txt. The fix worth most is documentation a search can find, about 9.9 points. An F at 15: the GraphQL endpoint exists, and nobody has written its address down.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Macy's on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Macy's scores 34 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to macys.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A Wikipedia match on the parade, behind a door that challenges every agent.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at macys.com scored **34 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Macy's is the US department store chain, selling online and in store, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks the homepage, and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or OAuth support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 9 | 89% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 10.5 of 40 | 26% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 63 | 13% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 34 of 100 | 34% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against macys.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

| Markdown content negotiation (acceptmarkdown.com) | Fail | 0 of 1 | Homepage https://macys.com does not meet the Markdown negotiation requirements: Accept: text/markdown returned text/html; Vary header missing Accept (got "accept-encoding") |
| Agent crawler reachability | Partial | 0 of 1 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot - a challenge is an identity check verified crawlers pass, so reachability is undetermined rather than blocked (ChatGPT-User: challenged |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Macy's.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

Macy's challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot at the door, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 challenge and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 9 of 50. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest department store chain in the United States. Past the wall there is a developer portal at developer.macys.com, and the API it describes has no machine-verifiable surface; its llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page, the one agent file the domain attempts. Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, neither OAuth discovery nor declared scopes, and no sitemap. The knowledge graph match is the parade: Ora confirmed the domain against the Wikipedia article for the Thanksgiving Day Parade rather than the company, and the brand search placed macys.com fourth. The door first, then the one file.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Marriott on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Marriott scores 20 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to marriott.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. The largest hotel company in the world, read as one challenge page and one gated endpoint.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at marriott.com scored **20 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Marriott is the largest hotel company in the world by rooms, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks the homepage and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec or OAuth support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7 of 11 | 64% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 1 of 40 | 3% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 66 | 12% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 20 of 100 | 20% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against marriott.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Marriott.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

## Our read

Marriott challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 challenge and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 1 of 51. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest hotel company in the world, with more than 9,000 properties. What it could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at marriott.com/graphql with introspection gated, and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The brand search placed marriott.com ninth for its own name, and the Discovery layer reads 10 of 14 on the strength of the Wikipedia and Wikidata match. The largest hotel company in the world, read from outside, is a challenge page and one gated endpoint.

# Mercado Libre on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Mercado Libre scores 40 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to mercadolibre.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Three agents blocked and 39 characters for the rest, on the largest marketplace in Latin America.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at mercadolibre.com scored **40 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Mercado Libre is the largest online marketplace in Latin America, with its own payments arm, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: JavaScript-rendered content and strict robots.txt crawler restrictions block access completely.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 11 of 15 | 73% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 14 of 54 | 26% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 18 of 53 | 34% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 40 of 100 | 40% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against mercadolibre.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Mercado Libre.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

## Our read

Mercado Libre turns the agents away and renders nothing for the ones it lets in. Ora's probe found ChatGPT-User, Claude-User and PerplexityBot blocked while a normal browser got in, robots.txt allows two of three search crawlers and neither training crawler, and the home page gives 39 characters of text without JavaScript, so the content row fails and the six payment checks did not apply because no commerce signal could be read from the largest marketplace in Latin America. developers.mercadolibre.com is a real portal, but its llms.txt returns an HTML page and the API content Ora could read scored 3 of 7; it found no OpenAPI specification, no MCP server and no OAuth discovery, on a company whose payments arm processes much of the region's online commerce. There is no sitemap and no JSON-LD, and the domain ranks tenth for its own name. The door and the template are both in the way; the door is the cheaper fix.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

# Nike on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Nike scores 30 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to nike.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A challenge page for every agent, and a brand that ranks seventh for its own name.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at nike.com scored **30 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Consumer category. Nike is the sportswear maker that sells direct to consumers online and through its apps, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: bot detection blocks them and the homepage shows no text without JavaScript.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 9 | 89% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 1 of 40 | 3% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 14 of 66 | 21% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 30 of 100 | 30% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against nike.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Nike.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

## Our read

Nike challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot at the door, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 challenge and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the Access layer scores 1 of 51 and the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified from outside. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the site of the largest sportswear company in the world. What it could reach is an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at accounts.nike.com and a GraphQL endpoint at api.nike.com with introspection gated, and around them nothing: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor declared scopes, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The brand search places nike.com seventh for its own name, which is the Discovery layer's 9 of 12. Nike's shoppers already talk to its app; the agents they send get a challenge page.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Nordstrom on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Nordstrom scores 20 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to nordstrom.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A home page that is 100 percent script, and an act layer with nothing in it.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at nordstrom.com scored **20 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's E-commerce category. Nordstrom is the US department store with a large online share of its sales, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Nordstrom's homepage renders its content with JavaScript and it has no public API, MCP server or developer portal, so agents get almost nothing to use.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 4 of 11 | 36% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 10 of 43 | 23% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 5 of 50 | 10% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 20 of 100 | 20% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against nordstrom.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Nordstrom.

## Our read

Nordstrom opens the door to all four agent user agents and shows them a page that is 100 percent script: zero characters of text without JavaScript, no JSON-LD and no llms.txt. robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers and the sitemap is valid, and that is the reading side in order. Ora read no commerce signals on one of the largest department store chains in the United States, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is empty: no publicly reachable API, and neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, which is why the Usability layer reads 8 of 48. Discovery reads 5 of 11: a search for the API documentation returned no official page, 6.1 points, nordstrom.com ranks eighth for its own name, and the Wikipedia match could not be verified on this scan. A template that renders nothing is the first fix, and the cheapest.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Otto on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Otto scores 41 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to otto.de on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An llms.txt, an Organization block and a sitemap, and no API behind them.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at otto.de scored **41 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Otto is Germany's second-largest online retailer and the group's marketplace, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 9 of 13 | 69% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 22 of 52 | 42% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 13 of 51 | 25% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 41 of 100 | 41% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against otto.de on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Otto.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 7, about 6.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 5.1 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

Otto is the one retailer in this batch whose reading layer is close to complete: an llms.txt at otto.de/llms.txt, a JSON-LD Organization block that lacks only its description, a valid sitemap index, a door open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt permitting the search and training crawlers. The home page gives 3,765 characters with an H1 at a 2.9 percent text ratio, the one reading row that falls short. Ora read no commerce signals on the largest online retailer in Germany after Amazon, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is the D, and it is empty: no publicly reachable API, and neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery. The brand search placed otto.de third for OTTO Online Shop, and Ora matched the Wikidata item for the Otto Group without a Wikipedia article. A shop that has written for agents, and given them no way to buy.

# Publix on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Publix scores 19 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to publix.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A scan that could not get in, on the largest employee-owned grocer in the United States.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at publix.com scored **19 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F. Publix is the employee-owned supermarket chain of the southeastern United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Publix offers brand name discoverability, but lacks WebMCP support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7 of 8 | 88% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 32 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 0 of 7 | 0% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 19 of 100 | 19% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against publix.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Publix.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 31.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no tool-attribute forms and no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Agent auth discovery metadata

Fail, 0 of 3, about 13.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Neither /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource nor /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server found. Probed: publix.com, api.publix.com.

agent\_auth endpoints reachable

Fail, 0 of 2, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No agent\_auth endpoint URIs found in AS metadata or /auth.md prose; nothing to probe.

auth.md exists

Fail, 0 of 2, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No /auth.md found at site root.

auth.md structure

Fail, 0 of 2, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No /auth.md found at site root.

## Our read

Publix's 19 is a scan that could not get in. Ora could not fetch the home page, could not test the agent user agents, could not read robots.txt and found no sitemap, so every row from the door to the structured data is unverified rather than failed, and the Access and Usability layers read 0 of 32 and 0 of 7. The estimates, 31.7 points for WebMCP alone, are not worth reading on so few checks. The six payment checks did not apply because no commerce signal could be read, on the largest employee-owned grocer in the United States, whose online delivery runs through Instacart. The act layer shows no API, developer portal or MCP server, which on a scan that could not fetch the site means little. The Discovery layer is the one that read, 7 of 8, with publix.com third for its own name and a confirmed Wikipedia and Wikidata match. A second scan on another day decides this one.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Rakuten on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Rakuten scores 47 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to rakuten.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A specification at /v2/api-docs, under a robots.txt that says nothing about AI.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at rakuten.com scored **47 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Identity & Auth category. Rakuten is the Japanese group's shopping and cash-back site for the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 9 of 11 | 82% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 28.67 of 43 | 67% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 7.43 of 50 | 15% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 47 of 100 | 47% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against rakuten.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Rakuten.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Partial, 3.43 of 8, about 4.1 points to gain. Ora saw: API described in documentation at https://developers.rakuten.com but no machine-verifiable API surface confirmed. Best-of-protocols score: 3/7.

CLI tool available

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No CLI tool found.

## Our read

Rakuten's US site is the one in this batch with an OpenAPI specification, version 2.0 at /v2/api-docs, beside a developer portal at developers.rakuten.com and a valid sitemap index, and Ora reads the domain in its Identity and Auth category rather than as a shop, so the six payment checks did not apply. The door is open to all six agent user agents, but robots.txt carries no AI crawler directives at all, which the policy row scores as a fail rather than as permission. The home page gives 6,231 characters with an H1 and a flat heading structure, and a JSON-LD block with no identity type; there is no llms.txt at either location. On the act layer the API is described without a machine-verifiable surface, OAuth is mentioned without standard endpoints, and Ora found no MCP server. The brand search placed the domain second for its identity term. A cash-back site is the kind of surface an agent would use on a shopper's behalf, and the specification is already there.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

# Royal Caribbean on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Royal Caribbean scores 55 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to royalcaribbean.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An agent-skills file, an llms.txt and an MCP path, two of them HTML pages.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at royalcaribbean.com scored **55 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C. Royal Caribbean is the second-largest cruise operator, selling sailings direct online, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Royal Caribbean's agent discovery file is present, but it lacks a published OpenAPI specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 10 of 14 | 71% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 29 of 50 | 58% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 22 of 49 | 45% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 55 of 100 | 55% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against royalcaribbean.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Royal Caribbean.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 7, about 6.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "royalcaribbean" developer resources but found nothing relevant.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 28 of 28 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

## Our read

Royal Caribbean has started the agent files and finished none of them. An agent discovery file is present at /.well-known/agent-skills, a rarity here; the llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt returns an HTML page, and /.well-known/mcp serves an HTML page rather than an MCP endpoint. The reading side is otherwise in order: all four agent user agents get in, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the sitemap is valid and the home page gives 4,614 characters at a 2.2 percent text ratio; the JSON-LD Organization block lacks its description. Ora read no commerce signals on the second largest cruise line in the world, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is OpenID Connect discovery and nothing else, with no publicly reachable API, and Ora's search for Royal Caribbean developer resources found nothing. The domain ranks first for Royal Caribbean vacation packages. Serve the two files as text and the C moves.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Ryanair on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Ryanair scores 42 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to ryanair.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A live MCP gateway in production, behind a home page of seven characters.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at ryanair.com scored **42 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Ryanair is Europe's largest airline by passengers, selling only direct, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Leaves agents almost nothing to work with: no OpenAPI spec, no developer portal.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7.5 of 16 | 47% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 7.17 of 41 | 17% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 65.15 of 112 | 58% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 42 of 100 | 42% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against ryanair.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

### Usability: 65.15 of 112

| Check | Result | Points | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| MCP tool descriptions | Partial | 3.8 of 4 | All 6 tools on product MCP have detailed descriptions (>= 20 chars). Descriptions grade 95/100 for depth: an agent picks well when each one runs 80 characters or more and says when to use the tool and what it returns. |

| MCP server identity | Pass | 1 of 1 | Pass, no detail recorded. |
| MCP tool listing | Partial | 2.85 of 3 | product MCP exposes 6 tools - substantial tool surface. The tool list costs about 2,860 tokens of an agent's context, 477 per tool across 6 tools; up to 400 per tool leaves room for the task. |
| MCP tool naming | Fail | 0 of 2 | Mixed naming conventions across tools |
| Public API with reachable endpoints | Pass | 8 of 8 | GraphQL endpoint at https://ryanair.com/graphql is reachable; introspection requires authentication (API key / OAuth), which is expected for agent access. Best-of-protocols score: 7/7. |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Ryanair.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 5.6 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs. In a search for your MCP server, SDK or CLI, none of the 10 results is your own, although the scan found one on your site.

Listed in MCP registries

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No verified entry in the official MCP Registry or on Smithery, and no npm or PyPI package of yours that runs as an MCP server. To pass.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

Public API/docs linked from homepage

Fail, 0 of 4, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No public API or documentation page linked from homepage.

## Our read

Ryanair has a live MCP server and a home page of seven characters. Ora connected to MCP-GATEWAY-PUBLIC-PROD version 1.0.0 over Streamable HTTP on the 2025-11-25 protocol, found OAuth authorization server metadata at help.ryanair.com/mcp/oauth, a published SDK and a ChatGPT app listing, which is why the Usability layer reads 64.5 of 104. The reading side is the opposite: seven characters of home page text, robots.txt answering with an HTML page instead of rules, an llms.txt at /.well-known/llms.txt that is an HTML page too, no JSON-LD and no sitemap, so the Access layer reads 10 of 54. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the airline that carries more passengers in Europe than any other. Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor a developer portal, and no declared scopes. The domain ranks fifth for its own name. The server is ready for the agent; the page the agent lands on is not.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Sam's Club on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Sam's Club scores 51 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to samsclub.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An open door, an HTML llms.txt, and a checkout that answered 403.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at samsclub.com scored **51 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C. Sam's Club is the Walmart-owned warehouse club, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Samsclub.com offers developer resource discoverability, but lacks an OpenAPI specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 11 of 13 | 85% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 27 of 54 | 50% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 23 of 68 | 34% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 51 of 100 | 51% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against samsclub.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Sam's Club.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 3.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no tool-attribute forms and no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 1 of 1 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

CLI tool available

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2 points to gain. Ora saw: No CLI tool found.

## Our read

Sam's Club gives Ora an open door and a shielded till. The six payment checks did not apply on this read, and Ora's note on each is the same: a bot shield answered 403 at samsclub.com/checkout\_sessions and at /agentic\_commerce/delegate\_payment, so the pay layer is unverified rather than failed and reads 0 of 0. The door itself is clear: all four test agents reached the home page, robots.txt allows every AI crawler checked, and no restriction applies to the user-triggered agents. What they can read is 1,667 characters with an H1 at a 2.7 percent content ratio, a valid sitemap, complete metadata, an Organization block without a description, and an llms.txt path that returns HTML instead of plain text. The act layer has a developer portal at developer.samsclub.com, an API described there without a verifiable surface, and OAuth mentioned on the home page with no standard endpoints; neither an MCP server nor an OpenAPI specification, about 4 points each. A C at 51: the shelves are open, the checkout answered 403.

# Sephora on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Sephora scores 21 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to sephora.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Tenth for its own name, and a security page for every agent that asks.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at sephora.com scored **21 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's E-commerce category. Sephora is the beauty retailer of the LVMH group, selling online in the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Homepage content is walled off by a WAF challenge, and there is no MCP server, OpenAPI spec, or WebMCP support for agents to use.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 5 of 9 | 56% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 39 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 13 of 66 | 20% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 21 of 100 | 21% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against sephora.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Sephora.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: sephora.com ranks #8 for "sephora" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site).

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 0 of 5, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF/security challenge - content not accessible to agents.

## Our read

Sephora's door is shut to every agent Ora sent: bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge and the home page came back as a security page, so the Access layer scores 0 of 50 and the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified from outside. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest prestige beauty retailer in the world. What it could reach is an OpenID Connect discovery endpoint at login.sephora.com and a GraphQL endpoint at api.sephora.com with introspection gated; it found neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor declared scopes, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The brand search is the detail to read: sephora.com ranks tenth for its own name, behind nine pages about it. Beauty is a category shoppers already ask assistants about, and the assistants cannot get past the first page.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Shein on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Shein scores 36 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. Ora probed the six payment checks on shein.com and found no x402, MPP, UCP, ACP or AP2 signal, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0. An llms.txt and markdown on request, in front of a pay layer with nothing on it.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at shein.com scored **36 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Shein is the online fashion retailer that ships from China to more than 150 countries, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Shein has a robots.txt AI crawler policy, but lacks an OpenAPI specification.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 10 of 14 | 71% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 17 of 52 | 33% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 11 of 53 | 21% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 36 of 100 | 36% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora reads shein.com as a shop, probed all six payment checks and found none of the five protocols. The checks are bonus checks: a protocol found would have scored the layer, and none found costs nothing, which is why the layer reads 0 of 0. A shopper's agent has no protocol to pay this retailer through from the domain itself. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Not found | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected |
| MPP | Not found | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected |
| UCP | Not found | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected |
| ACP | Not found | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected |
| ACP delegate payment | Not found | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No ACP Delegate Payment signals detected |
| AP2 | Not found | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) signals detected |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Shein.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 7, about 5.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: Agent searched for "shein" developer resources but found nothing relevant.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

Shein publishes an llms.txt at shein.com/llms.txt and returns markdown when an agent asks for it with an Accept header, two rows most retailers here miss, and robots.txt states a policy that permits the five training and three search crawlers Ora checked. The six payment checks were probed on a site Ora reads as a shop and found no x402, MPP, UCP, ACP or AP2 signal, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0. The rest is thin: 648 characters of home page with no H1, a JSON-LD block with no identity type, no sitemap, and an act layer with neither a publicly reachable API nor an OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, where Ora's search for Shein developer resources found nothing relevant. The domain ranks first for its own product term. A fashion retailer that ships to 150 countries and has written the agent text file would be a natural first adopter of a checkout protocol; the matrix shows which platforms carry each one.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Southwest on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Southwest scores 25 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to southwest.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An empty mount node and 32 scripts, on a site whose inner pages read fine.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at southwest.com scored **25 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Southwest is the largest low-cost carrier in the United States, selling only on its own site, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 5 of 12 | 42% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 10.67 of 38 | 28% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 9 of 60 | 15% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 25 of 100 | 25% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against southwest.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on southwest.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

### Discovery: 5 of 12

### Usability: 9 of 60

| Check | Result | Points | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Public API with reachable endpoints | Pass | 8 of 8 | GraphQL endpoint at https://southwest.com/api/graphql is reachable; introspection requires authentication (API key / OAuth), which is expected for agent access. Best-of-protocols score: 7/7. |

| Rate limit response headers | Fail | 0 of 2 | GraphQL introspection auth-gated and no header convention documented on GraphQL-tagged pages |
| Idempotency-Key support | Fail | 0 of 3 | GraphQL introspection auth-gated and no idempotency documentation found on GraphQL-tagged pages |
| NLWeb /ask endpoint | Fail | 0 of 1 | No NLWeb-conformant /ask endpoint found via GET or POST |

| Product + docs MCP coverage | Fail | 0 of 2 | This bonus needs two MCP servers: one for your product so agents can take actions, and a separate one for your documentation so agents can answer questions from your docs. |
| Sandbox / test environment | Fail | 0 of 2 | No sandbox or test environment found |
| GraphQL typed error model | Fail | 0 of 3 | GraphQL introspection auth-gated and no typed graphql error model documentation found on GraphQL-tagged pages |

| Accessibility-tree injection safety (bonus) | Pass | 2 of 2 | Pass, no detail recorded. |
| MCP Apps support | Fail | 0 of 4 | No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render. |
| A2UI / generative UI support | Fail | 0 of 2 | No A2UI or generative UI support detected |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Southwest.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 7.4 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 7.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 26 of 26 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 3.7 points to gain. Ora saw: southwest.com ranks #6 for "Southwest Airlines" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

## Our read

Southwest's home page is an empty mount node: 50 characters of text, a root div with nothing in it and 32 scripts to fill it, so the content row fails and there is no JSON-LD to read. Around it the reading side is fine: the door is open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the sitemap carries 180 entries and five of five sampled inner pages have substantive text. There is no llms.txt. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest domestic carrier in the United States by passengers. The act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at southwest.com/api/graphql with introspection gated and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery. The domain ranks seventh for Southwest Airlines. Render the front page on the server and the inner pages already carry the rest.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Target on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Target scores 41 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to target.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Live on UCP in the matrix, and no UCP profile on its own domain.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at target.com scored **41 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Target is the US general merchandise retailer that sits in this site's matrix as a column, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7 of 10 | 70% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 26.83 of 45 | 60% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 6.43 of 51 | 13% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 41 of 100 | 41% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against target.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Target.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: target.com ranks #8 for "Target" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

## Our read

Target is the one retailer in this site's matrix with a live UCP cell, a fact sheet saying shoppers buy from Target in Google AI Mode and Gemini via a protocol Target co-developed, and Ora finds no UCP signal on target.com itself: the six payment checks were probed and none answered, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0. The two are not in conflict. UCP checkout runs through Google's surfaces, and nothing on the retailer's own domain declares it, which is the gap the matrix and the scan read from different sides. The rest is the best of the US retailers here. The door is open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the sitemap is valid, and developer.target.com is a real portal with an llms.txt. The gaps are an MCP server, an OpenAPI specification and declared scopes, about 13 points, and a home page at 1.8 percent text. A UCP profile on target.com would turn the live cell into a scored layer.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Temu on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Temu scores 47 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to temu.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Four characters of home page, and a pay layer with nothing to find.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at temu.com scored **47 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Temu is the cross-border marketplace of PDD Holdings, selling low-priced goods to the West, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 9 of 10 | 90% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 14.17 of 26 | 55% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 4 of 17 | 24% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 47 of 100 | 47% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against temu.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Temu.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 17.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

MCP Apps support

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP Apps support detected - this product has an in-agent UI surface but exposes no ui:// resources or tool UI metadata for agents to render.

Product + docs MCP coverage

Fail, 0 of 2, about 4.4 points to gain. Ora saw: This bonus needs two MCP servers: one for your product so agents can take actions, and a separate one for your documentation so agents can answer questions from your docs.

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 1.67 of 5, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage: 901 chars of readable text, but no H1 tag. Sampled pages with almost no text without JavaScript (4 of 5): https://www.temu.com/-supplies-o3-202.html (67 chars), https://www.temu.com/business--science-o3-259.html (62 chars).

Pricing info accessible

Fail, 0 of 3, about 3.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No pricing page or pricing data found.

## Our read

Temu gives an agent four characters of text. Ninety-nine percent of the home page is script, so the content row fails outright, and the six payment checks were probed on a site Ora reads as a shop and found no protocol, which leaves the pay layer at 0 of 0 for the fastest-growing marketplace in the West. The door is open to all four agent user agents and robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, which is the good news; Ora found neither a publicly reachable API nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor a sitemap, and neither an llms.txt nor JSON-LD, while OAuth is mentioned on the home page without standard endpoints. The Discovery layer reads 13 of 14 because the brand is known, with the domain fifth for its own name. This is a shop that sells through its own app and page and has left nothing an outside agent could read, let alone pay through. The text comes first.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Trip.com on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Trip.com scores 21 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to trip.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A robots.txt that answers I'm a teapot, and a Discovery layer of 13 of 14.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at trip.com scored **21 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Trip.com is the international site of China's largest online travel group, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Agents hit a wall at the door: no public API, no MCP server, and no OpenAPI spec leave them nothing to use.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 11 | 73% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 1 of 34 | 3% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 4 of 50 | 8% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 21 of 100 | 21% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against trip.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Trip.com.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Developer portal

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No developer portal found.

## Our read

Trip.com answered the robots.txt request with HTTP 418, the status code that means I'm a teapot, a joke in the specification and a refusal in practice; the agent user agents could not be tested and the home page returned no page, so the door, content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 1 of 46. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the largest online travel agency in Asia. What could be probed came back empty: no publicly reachable API, neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, and neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, so the Usability layer reads 5 of 46. The Discovery layer is nearly perfect at 13 of 14, with trip.com fourth for a common word and a confirmed knowledge graph match. The knowledge graph knows the company; the server tells the agent it is a teapot, and a robots.txt an agent can fetch is the first fix.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Tripadvisor on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Tripadvisor scores 22 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to tripadvisor.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Two agents blocked, two let in, and no page returned to any of them.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at tripadvisor.com scored **22 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Travel & Hospitality category. Tripadvisor is the largest travel review and booking site by audience, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: no MCP server, no OpenAPI spec and no public API leave them with nothing to act on.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 8 of 12 | 67% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 2 of 35 | 6% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 6 of 50 | 12% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 22 of 100 | 22% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against tripadvisor.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

## Our read

Tripadvisor blocked Claude-User and PerplexityBot and let the OpenAI agents through, then returned no page to any of them, so the content and structured-data rows are unverified and the Access layer reads 4 of 50. robots.txt allows the three search crawlers and refuses both training crawlers, with no restriction on the user-triggered agents. Ora found no commerce signals, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on the site that holds more travel reviews than any other. The act layer is OpenID Connect discovery at accounts.tripadvisor.com and nothing else: no publicly reachable API, and neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor a sitemap, so the Usability layer reads 7 of 46. The Discovery layer is strong at 13 of 16, with the domain sixth for its own name and a confirmed knowledge graph match. The reviews an assistant would quote are here; the door it would quote them through is half shut.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy. [Why Ora, and its limits](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guides/best-ai-readiness-tools-2026).

# TUI on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

TUI scores 45 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to tui.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A German page title the search could not place, and a shield on the docs paths.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at tui.com scored **45 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. TUI is Europe's largest tour operator, selling packages and flights online, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Blocks agents from getting in: bot detection is not the blocker here, so agents face a site with no OpenAPI spec, no MCP server, and no declared OAuth scopes.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7 of 13 | 54% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 19 of 38 | 50% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 20 of 55 | 36% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 45 of 100 | 45% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against tui.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

| Check | Result | Points | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for TUI.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 6.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 3, about 5.1 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

## Our read

TUI's home page gives 11,126 characters with an H1, though the heading tree skips from H2 to H4; the door is open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers and the sitemap is valid. The JSON-LD block has no identity type and there is no llms.txt. The brand search ran on the page title, Urlaub buchen, book a holiday in German, and tui.com was not in the top ten for it, 5.1 points that describe a German page read by an English probe. Ora read no commerce signals on Europe's largest tour operator, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The act layer is a GraphQL endpoint at api.tui.com with introspection gated; a bot shield answered 403 at tui.com/docs, tui.com/console and tui.com/agents.md, so those rows are unverified, and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no OAuth discovery. An Organization block in the JSON-LD would give the search a name to find.

# Uber on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Uber scores 50 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to uber.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A developer portal and an OAuth endpoint, with no MCP server to hail the ride.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at uber.com scored **50 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C. Uber is the ride-hailing and delivery platform, selling rides, food and freight through its apps, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Uber offers solid developer resources and an installable SDK, but lacks a published OpenAPI specification and an MCP server for agent access.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 12 of 15 | 80% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 28 of 57 | 49% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 20 of 56 | 36% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 50 of 100 | 50% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against uber.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A travel seller that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP delegate payment | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| AP2 | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | AP2 in the matrix | No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Uber.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 4.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 7 of 7 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

JSON error responses

Fail, 0 of 4, about 3.2 points to gain. Ora saw: API does not return JSON error responses (or no API detected).

## Our read

Uber is read at uber.com rather than through its app: 3,810 characters with an H1 at a 0.6 percent text ratio, five sampled inner pages with text, a valid sitemap, a door open to all four agent user agents and a robots.txt that allows the search and training crawlers, with no JSON-LD and no llms.txt. Ora read no commerce signals on the domain, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, on a company whose business is a purchase made in a few taps. The act layer is the stronger half: developer.uber.com is a real portal, an OAuth endpoint sits at login.uber.com and an SDK is installable, though the API is described without a machine-verifiable surface, its endpoints do not answer errors as JSON, and Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no declared scopes. The brand search placed uber.com ninth for its own name. The ride is the product; the MCP server that would hail it is the gap.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Ulta Beauty on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Ulta Beauty scores 29 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to ulta.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An open door, a locked GraphQL endpoint, and no MCP server for an agent's basket.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at ulta.com scored **29 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Ulta Beauty is the largest beauty retailer in the United States, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Gives agents almost nothing to work with: no MCP server, no OpenAPI spec.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 4 of 11 | 36% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 11.17 of 38 | 29% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 13 of 52 | 25% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 29 of 100 | 29% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against ulta.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Ulta Beauty.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 8.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 4.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: ulta.com ranks #6 for "Ulta Beauty" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

## Our read

Ulta Beauty sells online, but Ora did not read ulta.com as a shop: it found no commerce signals, so the payment checks did not apply on this read and the Payments layer reads 0 of 0. The rest of the read decides the D. The door is open, with all four test agents reaching the home page and robots.txt allowing the AI search crawlers in 3 of 3 checks. The reading layer is thin: 4,720 characters of text without an H1, no llms.txt, no JSON-LD on the home page and metadata at 2 of 4. The act layer has pieces without a map: a GraphQL endpoint at api.ulta.com whose introspection requires authentication and an OAuth endpoint, but neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server, and no declared scopes. Usability reads 13 of 52. The fix worth most is an MCP server, about 8.5 points, with API docs a search can find close behind. A D at 29: the counter is open, and an agent has no basket to carry.

# Uniqlo on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Uniqlo scores 7 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to uniqlo.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. Ora asked for the home page and got nothing back, so most rows stay unverified.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at uniqlo.com scored **7 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Consumer category. Uniqlo is the Japanese apparel chain of Fast Retailing, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: The site gives agents almost nothing to work with: no MCP server, no OpenAPI spec and no public API.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 3 of 9 | 33% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 33 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 0 of 40 | 0% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 7 of 100 | 7% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against uniqlo.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Uniqlo.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 11.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

Public API with reachable endpoints

Fail, 0 of 8, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No publicly reachable API surface detected (REST and GraphQL both absent or auth-gated).

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 8.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

## Our read

Uniqlo's read turns on a home page Ora never received. The request for it got no page back, so the bot-detection test, the robots.txt policy for search and user-triggered agents, content without JavaScript, JSON-LD and metadata are all unverified rather than failed; Ora is careful to add that a rate limit, server error or timeout is not a block. The six payment checks did not apply on this read: Ora did not read the site as a shop. The Access layer reads 0 of 33. What Ora could check directly is thin, with no sitemap found and nothing at /llms.txt. The Usability layer reads 0 of 40, with neither an MCP server nor a public API, and a search for Uniqlo's API docs returned no official page among 10 results. The brand search placed uniqlo.com third. The fix worth most is an MCP server, about 11.1 points. An F at 7: Ora came for the home page and left with an empty response.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Walgreens on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Walgreens scores 28 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to walgreens.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A challenge page for every agent, in front of one GraphQL endpoint.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at walgreens.com scored **28 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D. Walgreens is the US pharmacy chain, selling health and household goods online, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Walgreens offers discoverable public APIs and endpoints, but lacks published OpenAPI specifications for agent integration.

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Walgreens.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 6, about 6.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 7, about 5.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 5.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

JSON error responses

Fail, 0 of 4, about 4.2 points to gain. Ora saw: API does not return JSON error responses (or no API detected).

JSON-LD structured data

Partial, 0 of 4, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage blocked by WAF - cannot check structured data.

## Our read

Walgreens challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot at the door, answered the robots.txt request with a 403 challenge and returned a security page in place of the home page, so the Access layer scores 0 of 41 and the content, policy and structured-data rows are unverified from outside. Ora found no commerce signals past the wall, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, though the pharmacy sells health and household goods online every day. What it could reach is a GraphQL endpoint at walgreens.com/graphql with introspection gated, and nothing around it: neither a developer portal nor an OpenAPI specification, neither an MCP server nor OAuth discovery, and neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The brand search places the domain first for its own name, which is the Discovery layer's 10 of 11. A retailer with a pharmacy counter has every reason to manage bots; the checklist asks it to say so in a robots.txt an agent can fetch.

# Walmart on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Walmart scores 49 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a C, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to walmart.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. An MCP server for sellers, and no protocol for a shopper's agent to pay through.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at walmart.com scored **49 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a C, in Ora's E-commerce category. Walmart is the largest retailer in the world by revenue, selling online in the United States and through a marketplace, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: The site offers public developer docs and a sitemap that agents can reach, but lacks a published OpenAPI specification and WebMCP support.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7.67 of 14 | 55% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 21.67 of 43 | 50% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 33.33 of 74 | 45% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 49 of 100 | 49% | Grade C |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against walmart.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Walmart.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

Listed in MCP registries

Fail, 0 of 3, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No verified entry in the official MCP Registry or on Smithery, and no npm or PyPI package of yours that runs as an MCP server. To pass.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 4.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found (scanned 1 of 1 same-origin script bundle(s) for modelContext registrations).

Content without JavaScript

Partial, 1.67 of 5, about 2.6 points to gain. Ora saw: Homepage: 2447 chars with H1, but 2.5% content ratio is below the 5% target. Sampled pages with almost no text without JavaScript (1 of 5): https://www.walmart.com/cp/10-pocket-hole-screws/9237418 (97 chars).

Pricing info accessible

Fail, 0 of 3, about 2.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No pricing page or pricing data found.

## Our read

Walmart is the largest retailer in the world and Ora finds no payment protocol on walmart.com: the six payment checks were probed and none of x402, MPP, UCP, ACP or AP2 answered, so the pay layer reads 0 of 0. That squares with this site's matrix, which records UCP on Walmart as announced, a Gemini shopping experience Walmart and Google described on 11 January 2026 with no Walmart page naming a live checkout. The rest of the read is better than the C suggests. The door is open to all four agent user agents, robots.txt allows the search and training crawlers, the sitemap lists 12,720 category pages, and developer.walmart.com carries an MCP server that answers and requires authentication, with OAuth authorization server metadata beside it. What is missing is an OpenAPI specification, an llms.txt, and a home page with more than 2 percent text. The retailer has an act layer for its marketplace sellers and no pay layer for a shopper's agent.

# Wayfair on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Wayfair scores 33 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to wayfair.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A UCP announcement in the matrix, and a home page the scan could not fetch.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at wayfair.com scored **33 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Wayfair is the online home goods retailer that sits in this site's matrix as a column, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 5 of 11 | 45% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 18.67 of 39 | 48% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 10 of 68 | 15% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 33 of 100 | 33% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against wayfair.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No working way for an agent to pay was found, so payments are not scored |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Wayfair.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 8.1 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

OAuth 2.0 support

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.3 points to gain. Ora saw: No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect support detected.

## Our read

Wayfair is recorded in this site's matrix as a UCP announcement with no live checkout, and Ora finds no commerce signal on wayfair.com, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read. The home page could not be fetched and the agent user agents could not be tested, so the door, content and structured-data rows are unverified rather than failed. What could be read is in order: robots.txt permits the five training and three search crawlers Ora checked and places no restriction on the three user-triggered agents, the sitemap index at seo-category-index.xml is valid, and developer.wayfair.io is a real documentation portal, though the API it describes has no machine-verifiable surface. Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor OAuth discovery, neither an MCP server nor declared scopes, and neither an llms.txt nor JSON-LD. The domain ranks third in a clean search for its own name. A UCP profile at /.well-known/ucp is the one file that would move the pay layer from absent to scored.

## Test your own checkout

The scan above is free and needs no account: enter a domain at [ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) and read the same layers for your own site, with the six payment checks mapped to this matrix on [the Ora Payments page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). The command below runs the same audit from a terminal and exits with 1 under the score you set, so it can gate a deploy.

# Zalando on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Zalando scores 40 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, a D, read 14 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to zalando.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. 17 checks pass, 14 are partial and 46 fail. A robots.txt and an llms.txt that are both HTML pages.

On 14 Nov 2026 the public site at zalando.com scored **40 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, a D, in Ora's E-commerce category. Zalando is Europe's largest online fashion platform, selling in 25 markets, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 7.5 of 11 | 68% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 16.17 of 41 | 39% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 19.5 of 72 | 27% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 40 of 100 | 40% | Grade D |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against zalando.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A marketplace that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on zalando.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Zalando.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.5 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.2 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4 points to gain. Ora saw: zalando.com ranks #9 for "Zalando" (searched your brand name alone: no main product term from your homepage qualified).

Scoped permissions

Fail, 0 of 5, about 3.1 points to gain. Ora saw: No declared OAuth scopes, security schemes, or scoped-permission documentation found.

## Our read

Zalando's robots.txt answers with an HTML page instead of rules, so crawlers read the whole site by default and the policy row cannot be met; the llms.txt at docs.zalando.com/.well-known/llms.txt is an HTML page too. The door itself is open to all four agent user agents, and that is where the good news on the reading side ends: 333 characters of home page, no inner page the scan could sample, no sitemap and no JSON-LD. Ora found no commerce signals on the page it could read, so the six payment checks did not apply on this read, which for Europe's largest online fashion platform is the template talking rather than the shop. The act layer is the strongest of the fashion sellers here, with OpenID Connect discovery at identity.zalando.com, a documentation portal at docs.zalando.com and an SDK in a registry, though Ora found no OpenAPI specification, no MCP server and no declared scopes. Two files served as the right content type would move this C on their own.

## Test your own checkout

# Zara on the pay layer: the 360 agent-readiness check

In short

Zara scores 8 of 100 on Ora's agent-readiness scan, an F, read 15 Nov 2026. The six payment checks did not apply to zara.com on this read, which is how Ora treats a site it does not read as a shop. A WAF challenges every agent, and the payment checks did not apply on this read.

On 15 Nov 2026 the public site at zara.com scored **8 of 100** on [Ora's](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=check) agent-readiness scan, an F, in Ora's Consumer category. Zara is the flagship brand of Inditex, selling online in more than 200 markets, so this check reads the Payments layer first: the six checks that look for x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 on the domain, the same protocols this site's matrix tracks row by row. The other layers follow, with every check Ora ran and what it saw. Ora's one-line summary: Turns agents away at the door: a WAF blocks them and the homepage shows no content without JavaScript.

## The score

| Layer | Points | Share | What the layer asks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 1 of 9 | 11% | Can agents find and recommend it |
| Access | 0 of 39 | 0% | Can agents read it |
| Usability | 8 of 66 | 12% | Can agents use it |
| Payments | 0 of 0 | none apply | Can agents pay |
|  |
| Total | 8 of 100 | 8% | Grade F |

## The pay layer

Ora did not run the six payment checks against zara.com on this read: it marks them not applicable on a site it does not read as a shop, so the layer has no maximum and costs nothing. A retailer that sells online can still publish any of the five protocols; the matrix says which processors and platforms carry each one. Each protocol links to its matrix row, where the processors and platforms that carry it are dated and sourced.

| Payment check | Result | Points | Matrix row | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | x402 in the matrix | No x402 payment protocol support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| MPP | Does not apply | 0 of 2 | MPP in the matrix | No MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) support detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| UCP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | UCP in the matrix | no UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |
| ACP | Does not apply | 0 of 3 | ACP in the matrix | no ACP (Agentic Commerce Protocol) signals detected. No commerce signals detected - agent-payment protocols are optional for non-commerce sites |

## The other layers, check by check

Every check Ora ran on zara.com, grouped by layer, with the result, the points and what Ora recorded where its wording passes this site's gate.

### Discovery: 1 of 9

| Check | Result | Points | What Ora saw |

| Markdown content negotiation (acceptmarkdown.com) | Fail | 0 of 1 | Homepage https://zara.com does not meet the Markdown negotiation requirements: Accept: text/markdown returned text/html; Vary header missing Accept (got "none") |
| Agent crawler reachability | Partial | 0 of 1 | Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot - a challenge is an identity check verified crawlers pass, so reachability is undetermined rather than blocked (ChatGPT-User: challenged |

### Usability: 8 of 66

| Check | Result | Points | What Ora saw |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

## The fixes worth most points

Ora attaches an estimate to each failing or partial check: how many points the site would gain by passing it. These are the 5 with the largest estimates for Zara.

Developer resource discoverability

Fail, 0 of 4, about 9.9 points to gain. Ora saw: In a search for your API docs, none of the 10 results is your official docs.

OpenAPI spec published

Fail, 0 of 8, about 6.8 points to gain. Ora saw: No OpenAPI/Swagger specification found.

MCP server / manifest

Fail, 0 of 10, about 6.7 points to gain. Ora saw: No MCP server or manifest found.

WebMCP support

Fail, 0 of 8, about 5.4 points to gain. Ora saw: No WebMCP support detected - no document.modelContext / navigator.modelContext usage found.

Brand name discoverability

Partial, 1 of 3, about 4.9 points to gain. Ora saw: zara.com ranks #6 for "zara" (searched your brand name alone: we could not read a product term from your site).

## Our read

Zara's read never reaches the till. The payment checks did not apply on this read: Ora did not read the site as a shop. Bot management challenged ChatGPT-User, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User and PerplexityBot, and robots.txt answered with a 403 challenge, so the Access layer reads 0 of 39. Because the home page sat behind the WAF, the rows for content without JavaScript, JSON-LD, metadata and indexing directives are unverified rather than failed. Ora found neither a sitemap nor an llms.txt. The Usability layer reads 8 of 66. A GraphQL endpoint at zara.com/graphql is reachable with introspection behind authentication, and an NLWeb /ask endpoint answers 403; Ora found neither an OpenAPI specification nor an MCP server. The fix worth most is API documentation a search can find: none of 10 results was official, about 9.9 points. An F at 8: the GraphQL endpoint answers, and the home page asks every agent for papers.

# Head-to-heads

In short

30 head-to-heads, each with one sourced difference, verdicts by reader type and a side-by-side of matrix status. The pairs cover protocols, processors, platforms and agent surfaces: ACP and UCP, x402 and MPP, Stripe and Adyen, ChatGPT shopping and Google AI Mode, and more.

## Protocols and programs

-   [**ACP vs UCP**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/acp-vs-ucp)  
    ACP lost its main checkout surface when OpenAI moved ChatGPT purchases to merchant sites on 24 Mar 2026 and now carries product feeds there.
-   [**UCP vs AP2**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/ucp-vs-ap2)  
    UCP is a commerce protocol with carts, checkout sessions and payment handlers; AP2 is a payment authorisation layer of signed mandates that UCP lists as a built-in extension.
-   [**Visa TAP vs Mastercard Agent Pay**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/visa-trusted-agent-protocol-vs-mastercard-agent-pay)  
    Both sign agent requests with Web Bot Auth (HTTP Message Signatures) so a CDN can verify the agent.
-   [**x402 vs MPP**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/x402-vs-mpp)  
    Both answer HTTP 402. x402 is governed by the x402 Foundation under the Linux Foundation (40 members at the 14 Jul 2026 launch) and settles mostly in stablecoins.
-   [**ACP vs AP2**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/acp-vs-ap2)  
    ACP specifies checkout endpoints a merchant hosts (create, update, complete a session) and a delegated payment token; AP2 specifies signed mandates that prove what the user authorised.
-   [**Visa IC vs Mastercard Agent Pay**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/visa-intelligent-commerce-vs-mastercard-agent-pay)  
    Visa has written agentic duties into its public Core Rules (section 4.1.23, April 2026) and runs Intelligent Commerce Connect in pilot for TAP, MPP, ACP and UCP traffic.
-   [**Mastercard Agent Pay vs Agent Pay for Machines**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/mastercard-agent-pay-vs-agent-pay-for-machines)  
    Agent Pay tokenises a consumer card for an agent buying at merchants.
-   [**AP2 vs Verifiable Intent**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/ap2-vs-verifiable-intent)  
    AP2 defines the mandate flow between agent, merchant and credential provider; Verifiable Intent defines a credential format (layered SD-JWT) for the same delegation.
-   [**x402 vs Agent Pay for Machines**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/x402-vs-agent-pay-for-machines)  
    x402 is an open protocol anyone can implement with a facilitator such as Coinbase (first 1,000 transactions free, then $0.001).
-   [**Amex ACE vs Mastercard Agent Pay**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/amex-ace-vs-mastercard-agent-pay)  
    Amex ACE announced Agent Purchase Protection for charges caused by agent error when a registered agent sent authenticated intent.
-   [**Visa TAP vs Visa IC**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/visa-trusted-agent-protocol-vs-visa-intelligent-commerce)  
    TAP tells a merchant which agent is calling; Visa Intelligent Commerce supplies the tokenised credential and rules for the payment.
-   [**UCP vs x402**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/ucp-vs-x402)  
    UCP carries a retail order (items, shipping, tax, payment handler); x402 carries a single HTTP payment for a resource.

## Processors and enablers

-   [**Stripe vs Adyen**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/stripe-vs-adyen-agentic)  
    Stripe documents ACP, UCP, MPP, x402 and Link Agent Wallet with public pricing ($0.15 per Shared Payment Token).
-   [**PayPal vs Stripe**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/paypal-vs-stripe)  
    PayPal Agent Ready documents ACP (ChatGPT) and UCP (Google) paths through Braintree or Orders v2, updated 13 Oct 2026, but needs a request form.
-   [**Checkout.com vs Adyen**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/checkout-com-vs-adyen-agentic)  
    Checkout.com says it is a certified ACP payment handler and processes UCP via Google Pay rails, and lists TAP, AP2 and Verifiable Intent, but merchant entry is a waitlist.
-   [**Coinbase vs Stripe**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/coinbase-vs-stripe)  
    Coinbase runs the CDP facilitator that verifies and settles x402 payments on Base and Solana with OFAC and KYT screening, claiming over 100 million payments.
-   [**Crossmint vs Skyfire**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/crossmint-vs-skyfire)  
    Crossmint sells buyer-side agent checkout ($0.05 per checkout after 1,000 a month) that uses Visa and Mastercard agent tokens or Shop Pay and UCP paths.
-   [**Skyfire vs PayOS**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/skyfire-vs-payos)  
    Skyfire combines agent identity and payment in one signed token with its own settlement.
-   [**Braintree vs PayPal**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/braintree-vs-paypal)  
    Braintree (now PayPal Enterprise Payments) is the processor in PayPal Agent Ready's ACP path and one of two UCP paths.
-   [**Worldpay vs Adyen**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/worldpay-vs-adyen-agentic)  
    Worldpay (Global Payments) says it works across ACP and UCP and collaborates on Visa TAP, but publishes no agentic developer docs; Adyen publishes ACP and UCP docs and named Amex.

## Everything else: surfaces, platforms and mixed pairs

-   [**Shopify vs Amazon Rufus**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/shopify-vs-amazon-rufus-and-buy-for-me)  
    Shopify opens its catalog and checkout to any registered agent (self-serve agent profiles since 17 Jun 2026, Shop MCP since 13 Oct 2026).
-   [**ChatGPT vs Google AI Mode**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/chatgpt-shopping-vs-google-ai-mode-and-gemini-checkout)  
    Google completes checkout inside AI Mode and Gemini over UCP with Google Wallet for select merchants, merchant of record unchanged.
-   [**Link for agents vs PayPal**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/stripe-link-for-agents-vs-paypal)  
    Link Agent Wallet gives an agent a one-time credential after the user approves a spend request and powers Meta Muse checkout.
-   [**Copilot vs Google AI Mode**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/microsoft-copilot-vs-google-ai-mode-and-gemini-checkout)  
    Both check out inside the assistant with the merchant as seller.
-   [**Perplexity vs ChatGPT**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/perplexity-shopping-vs-chatgpt-shopping)  
    Perplexity still checks out in chat through PayPal Instant Buy (since 25 Nov 2025) with the retailer as merchant of record.
-   [**Meta Muse vs Amazon Rufus**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/meta-muse-vs-amazon-rufus-and-buy-for-me)  
    Muse (8 Sep 2026) pays with Link single-use cards on other merchants' sites and was blocked by Amazon on 20 Sep 2026 for not identifying itself.
-   [**Shopify vs BigCommerce**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/shopify-vs-bigcommerce)  
    Shopify serves UCP Cart, Checkout and Order MCP servers for every store and Agentic Storefronts across ChatGPT, Copilot and Google.
-   [**Salesforce CC vs commercetools**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/salesforce-commerce-cloud-vs-commercetools)  
    Salesforce lists UCP Integration as GA in October 2026 for Gemini and AI Mode checkout. commercetools made AI Hub GA on 30 Jul 2026 with UCP checkout in Gemini
-   [**Adobe Commerce vs WooCommerce**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/adobe-commerce-vs-woocommerce)  
    Neither has shipped native agent checkout.
-   [**Shopify vs WooCommerce**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/compare/shopify-vs-woocommerce)  
    Shopify stores answer /.well-known/ucp today (for example allbirds.com on 4 Nov 2026) and are enrolled in agent channels from Admin.

# ACP vs AP2

In short

ACP specifies checkout endpoints a merchant hosts (create, update, complete a session) and a delegated payment token; AP2 specifies signed mandates that prove what the user authorised. ACP shipped in production in 2025; AP2 is at v0.2 with samples only. On Stripe the matrix reads ACP live and AP2 no statement found, and the two split on 12 more columns.

## The sourced difference

ACP specifies checkout endpoints a merchant hosts (create, update, complete a session) and a delegated payment token; AP2 specifies signed mandates that prove what the user authorised. ACP shipped in production in 2025; AP2 is at v0.2 with samples only. [github.com](https://github.com/agentic-commerce-protocol/agentic-commerce-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

Head of ecommerce engineering

ACP is code you deploy; AP2 is evidence you verify.

Payments lead

AP2 mandates help disputes; ACP does not address them.

# ACP vs UCP

In short

ACP lost its main checkout surface when OpenAI moved ChatGPT purchases to merchant sites on 24 Mar 2026 and now carries product feeds there. On Crossmint the matrix reads ACP no statement found and UCP live, and the two split on 12 more columns.

## The sourced difference

ACP lost its main checkout surface when OpenAI moved ChatGPT purchases to merchant sites on 24 Mar 2026 and now carries product feeds there; UCP runs live checkout in Google AI Mode and Gemini and is the onboarding format for Copilot Checkout. ACP is maintained by OpenAI, Stripe and Meta; UCP by a Tech Council that includes Stripe and Meta too. [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/powering-product-discovery-in-chatgpt/), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

Head of ecommerce engineering

Build UCP first for checkout; keep an ACP feed for ChatGPT discovery.

Payments lead

Both keep you merchant of record; your PSP choice matters more than the protocol.

Shopify Plus merchant

Shopify serves both for you through Agentic Storefronts.

Marketplace operator

UCP has more retailer co-developers (Walmart, Target, Etsy, Wayfair) if you run a marketplace.

# Adobe Commerce vs WooCommerce

In short

Neither has shipped native agent checkout. On UCP the matrix reads Adobe Commerce announced and WooCommerce pilot, and the two split on 1 more protocol. For a head of ecommerce engineering: Plan a processor-led path (Stripe ACS) rather than waiting on the platform.

## The sourced difference

Neither has shipped native agent checkout. Adobe says it is committed to UCP and ACP (guide updated 21 Oct 2026) and offers a Commerce MCP server; WooCommerce lists UCP and ACP as coming soon with a UCP toggle in the private-beta WooCommerce AI extension.

# Amex ACE vs Mastercard Agent Pay

In short

Amex ACE announced Agent Purchase Protection for charges caused by agent error when a registered agent sent authenticated intent; Mastercard Agent Pay offers intent data as dispute evidence but no stated consumer protection for agent error. On PayPal the matrix reads Amex ACE no statement found and Mastercard Agent Pay announced, and the two split on 6 more columns.

## The sourced difference

Amex ACE announced Agent Purchase Protection for charges caused by agent error when a registered agent sent authenticated intent; Mastercard Agent Pay offers intent data as dispute evidence but no stated consumer protection for agent error.

# AP2 vs Verifiable Intent

In short

AP2 defines the mandate flow between agent, merchant and credential provider; Verifiable Intent defines a credential format (layered SD-JWT) for the same delegation, co-developed by Mastercard and Google and aligned with AP2. On Adyen the matrix reads AP2 announced and Verifiable Intent no statement found, and the two split on 9 more columns.

## The sourced difference

AP2 defines the mandate flow between agent, merchant and credential provider; Verifiable Intent defines a credential format (layered SD-JWT) for the same delegation, co-developed by Mastercard and Google and aligned with AP2. Both went to the FIDO Payments working group on 28 Apr 2026. [fidoalliance.org](https://fidoalliance.org/fido-alliance-to-develop-standards-for-trusted-ai-agent-interactions/), read 4 Nov 2026.

Braintree (now PayPal Enterprise Payments) is the processor in PayPal Agent Ready's ACP path and one of two UCP paths; the other UCP path runs through PayPal Orders v2 for PayPal Checkout merchants. On AP2 the matrix reads Braintree no statement found and PayPal announced. For a head of ecommerce engineering: Pick the path that matches your existing PayPal integration.

# ChatGPT vs Google AI Mode

In short

Google completes checkout inside AI Mode and Gemini over UCP with Google Wallet for select merchants, merchant of record unchanged. On ACP the matrix reads ChatGPT not supported and Google AI Mode no statement found, and the two split on 4 more protocols.

## The sourced difference

Google completes checkout inside AI Mode and Gemini over UCP with Google Wallet for select merchants, merchant of record unchanged. ChatGPT ended in-chat Instant Checkout on 24 Mar 2026 and sends the shopper to the merchant checkout, charging no fee on those purchases. [support.google.com](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/16837055), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

Head of ecommerce engineering

Google needs UCP endpoints; ChatGPT needs a clean ACP feed and a fast web checkout.

Payments lead

Google uses standard card numbers today, so your normal fraud stack applies.

Shopify Plus merchant

Agentic Storefronts covers both from Shopify Admin.

# Coinbase vs Stripe

In short

Coinbase runs the CDP facilitator that verifies and settles x402 payments on Base and Solana with OFAC and KYT screening, claiming over 100 million payments. On ACP the matrix reads Coinbase no statement found and Stripe live, and the two split on 8 more protocols.

## The sourced difference

Coinbase runs the CDP facilitator that verifies and settles x402 payments on Base and Solana with OFAC and KYT screening, claiming over 100 million payments. Stripe accepts x402 (USDC on Base) and MPP inside normal Stripe balances at 1.5 percent, excluding New York businesses.

# Copilot vs Google AI Mode

In short

Both check out inside the assistant with the merchant as seller. On ACP the matrix reads Copilot announced and Google AI Mode no statement found, and the two split on 3 more protocols. For a head of ecommerce engineering: One UCP implementation serves both.

## The sourced difference

Both check out inside the assistant with the merchant as seller. Copilot Checkout needs a UCP-compliant Microsoft Merchant Center feed, serves US buyers in USD, and takes no commission; Google needs UCP endpoints and Google Pay, is limited to select merchants, and lists US, Canada and Australia eligibility. [about.ads.microsoft.com](https://about.ads.microsoft.com/en/solutions/technology/agentic-commerce), read 4 Nov 2026.

Payments lead

Neither charges a published fee; your PSP fees apply.

Shopify Plus merchant

Shopify auto-enrolled merchants in Copilot after an opt-out window.

# PayPal vs Stripe

In short

PayPal Agent Ready documents ACP (ChatGPT) and UCP (Google) paths through Braintree or Orders v2, updated 13 Oct 2026, but needs a request form. Stripe documents ACP, UCP, MPP, x402 and Shared Payment Tokens self-serve with prices published. On AP2 the matrix reads PayPal announced and Stripe no statement found, and the two split on 7 more protocols.

Head-to-head

# Skyfire vs PayOS

In short

Skyfire combines agent identity and payment in one signed token with its own settlement. On Visa IC the matrix reads Skyfire announced and PayOS no statement found. For a head of ecommerce engineering: PayOS tokens look like cards at your checkout; Skyfire needs integration.

## The sourced difference

Skyfire combines agent identity and payment in one signed token with its own settlement. PayOS issues network agent tokens with spend limits by merchant, amount and time, priced in prepaid credits (about 1 cent per token), and went fully self-serve on 30 Sep 2026. [docs.skyfire.xyz](https://docs.skyfire.xyz/docs/payments-settlement.md), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

# Link for agents vs PayPal

In short

Link Agent Wallet gives an agent a one-time credential after the user approves a spend request and powers Meta Muse checkout; PayPal's Agent Ready accepts payments from agents (Perplexity Instant Buy since 25 Nov 2025) and Store Sync pushes catalogs. For a head of ecommerce engineering: Link is buyer-side; Agent Ready is merchant-side.

## The sourced difference

Link Agent Wallet gives an agent a one-time credential after the user approves a spend request and powers Meta Muse checkout; PayPal's Agent Ready accepts payments from agents (Perplexity Instant Buy since 25 Nov 2025) and Store Sync pushes catalogs, with access by request form. [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/agentic-commerce/agents/link-agent-wallet), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

Head of ecommerce engineering

Link is buyer-side; Agent Ready is merchant-side.

Payments lead

Both keep the merchant as seller; PayPal adds buyer protection on Perplexity orders.

# Stripe vs Adyen

In short

Stripe documents ACP, UCP, MPP, x402 and Link Agent Wallet with public pricing ($0.15 per Shared Payment Token). On ACP the matrix reads Stripe live and Adyen pilot, and the two split on 5 more protocols. For a head of ecommerce engineering: Stripe has the most documented paths today.

## The sourced difference

Stripe documents ACP, UCP, MPP, x402 and Link Agent Wallet with public pricing ($0.15 per Shared Payment Token). Adyen Agentic (16 Jun 2026) documents ACP delegated payments and a UCP tokenization handler but was in limited availability for US enterprise merchants at launch and publishes no agentic price. [adyen.com](https://www.adyen.com/press-and-media/adyen-agentic), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

Head of ecommerce engineering

Stripe has the most documented paths today.

Payments lead

Adyen keeps token portability and your existing Adyen acquiring; ask for availability in your region.

Shopify Plus merchant

Shopify Payments merchants already sit on Stripe rails.

Marketplace operator

Adyen if you already route enterprise volume through it.

# UCP vs AP2

In short

UCP is a commerce protocol with carts, checkout sessions and payment handlers; AP2 is a payment authorisation layer of signed mandates that UCP lists as a built-in extension. On Stripe the matrix reads UCP live and AP2 no statement found, and the two split on 17 more columns.

## The sourced difference

UCP is a commerce protocol with carts, checkout sessions and payment handlers; AP2 is a payment authorisation layer of signed mandates that UCP lists as a built-in extension. UCP checkout is live on Google surfaces; AP2 has no confirmed live surface and moved to FIDO working groups in April 2026. [ucp.dev](https://ucp.dev/), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

Head of ecommerce engineering

Implement UCP now; treat AP2 as a future field in the payment step.

Payments lead

AP2 mandates are dispute evidence, not a liability shift.

Shopify Plus merchant

Nothing to do for AP2 on Shopify today.

# Visa IC vs Mastercard Agent Pay

In short

Visa has written agentic duties into its public Core Rules (section 4.1.23, April 2026) and runs Intelligent Commerce Connect in pilot for TAP, MPP, ACP and UCP traffic. On PayPal the matrix reads Visa IC no statement found and Mastercard Agent Pay announced, and the two split on 5 more columns.

## The sourced difference

Visa has written agentic duties into its public Core Rules (section 4.1.23, April 2026) and runs Intelligent Commerce Connect in pilot for TAP, MPP, ACP and UCP traffic. Mastercard's public rulebooks (June 2026) contain no agentic provision; its program relies on agentic tokens, the acceptance framework and the new probability score. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Verdicts by reader type

Head of ecommerce engineering

Visa traffic needs an Agentic Payment Provider registered with Visa; check your agent partners.

Payments lead

Visa liability is written down (cardholder responsible for the agent); Mastercard's is not yet.

Marketplace operator

Ask both networks how they flag agent transactions in your settlement files.

# Visa TAP vs Mastercard Agent Pay

In short

Both sign agent requests with Web Bot Auth (HTTP Message Signatures) so a CDN can verify the agent. On PayPal the matrix reads Visa TAP no statement found and Mastercard Agent Pay announced, and the two split on 7 more columns. For a head of ecommerce engineering: One Web Bot Auth verification at the CDN covers both; Cloudflare validates them.

## The sourced difference

Both sign agent requests with Web Bot Auth (HTTP Message Signatures) so a CDN can verify the agent. TAP is an identity protocol with public GitHub code; Agent Pay adds Mastercard agentic tokens, a Dynamic Token Verification Code in normal card fields, and since 30 Sep 2026 a probability score for AI-initiated transactions in US testing. [blog.cloudflare.com](https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-agentic-commerce/), read 4 Nov 2026.

One Web Bot Auth verification at the CDN covers both; Cloudflare validates them.

Payments lead

Agent Pay touches authorisation through tokens; TAP alone does not.

Marketplace operator

Allow both signatures through your bot rules before you block agents.

TAP lives at the WAF; VIC lives in the payment flow.

You need VIC enrolment only if you operate an agent, not as a merchant.

# x402 vs Agent Pay for Machines

In short

x402 is an open protocol anyone can implement with a facilitator such as Coinbase (first 1,000 transactions free, then $0.001). On Stripe the matrix reads x402 live and Agent Pay for Machines announced, and the two split on 6 more columns. For a head of ecommerce engineering: Start with plain x402; AP4M adds controls when your buyers are enterprises.

## The sourced difference

x402 is an open protocol anyone can implement with a facilitator such as Coinbase (first 1,000 transactions free, then $0.001). Agent Pay for Machines wraps x402 with Mastercard credentialing, spend controls and settlement, and is in Early Access with no published price.

# x402 vs MPP

In short

Both answer HTTP 402. x402 is governed by the x402 Foundation under the Linux Foundation (40 members at the 14 Jul 2026 launch) and settles mostly in stablecoins, with Lightning added 23 Sep 2026.

## The sourced difference

Both answer HTTP 402. x402 is governed by the x402 Foundation under the Linux Foundation (40 members at the 14 Jul 2026 launch) and settles mostly in stablecoins, with Lightning added 23 Sep 2026.

## Writing to the editor

Email [editor@agentreadycheckout.com](mailto:editor@agentreadycheckout.com). Useful messages name a page, say what is wrong or missing, and link a public source. A vendor that wants its status reviewed should send the page, document or repository that shows the status it claims.

We read messages that name a source and reply to say whether the evidence changes a cell.

## Other routes

Datasets are on the [data page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data). The [feed](https://agentreadycheckout.com/feed.xml) carries new dated items. Errors are tracked on the [corrections page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/corrections).

# Corrections and open points

## Correction log

No correction has been published since the first edition of 4 Nov 2026. Each correction will be listed here with its date, the page, what was wrong and what the source says.

## Open points we have not closed

These are places where public sources disagree or where we could not read the text. Each is stated in the cell or row it affects.

-   **Visa dispute condition 10.4 and the agent login ID wording.** The October 2026 Visa Core Rules mark section 11.8.5.3 (Dispute Condition 10.4) as last updated in October 2026 and list login IDs for an Agentic Payment Provider among matching evidence. The summary of changes ties the 10.4 edits to address verification liability shifts. We could not diff the October text against the April 2026 edition, which the same URL no longer serves, so we cannot say whether the agent login ID wording is new in October. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   **Mastercard agent-initiated transaction flags.** Mastercard has described flags and a probability score for AI-initiated transactions in press material. The public Mastercard Rules and Transaction Processing Rules we searched in full text contain no agentic provision, and the developer specifications sit behind a login. The tracker therefore cites the press pages for Mastercard and does not claim rule text. [mastercard.com](https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/news-and-trends/press/2026/september/new-trust-and-intelligence-services.html), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   **Etsy checkout inside ChatGPT.** Etsy's help page still describes buying through ChatGPT, while OpenAI said on 24 Mar 2026 that it is moving away from a standalone Instant Checkout and now sends purchases to merchant checkouts. Two primary pages conflict, so the ACP and Etsy cell reads announced, not live, and its note says why. Ask Etsy which flow runs today before relying on it. [help.etsy.com](https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34208252828695-Purchasing-Etsy-Items-Through-ChatGPT), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   **How many seats the UCP Tech Council holds.** GitHub and trade press describe a ten-member UCP Tech Council from April 2026, while the UCP discussion 379 says it expanded to 16 seats. We print a seat count only where the UCP Tech Council announcement (GitHub discussion 379, linked from the UCP announcements page) states one, which is the 16-seat line on the Salesforce Commerce Cloud page, read 4 Nov 2026. We print no other count. [ucp.dev](https://ucp.dev/documentation/announcements/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   **The UCP discovery path in the shared crawl.** The first crawl probed /.well-known/ucp.json, while the UCP specification publishes the business profile at /.well-known/ucp. A corrected probe was added to the crawl, and the commerce discovery page states which of the two the published numbers use. [ucp.dev](https://ucp.dev/latest/specification/overview/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   **Per-sale rates for the Shopify Agentic plan and BigCommerce agentic checkout.** Shopify's Agentic plan page states no per-order rate and BigCommerce publishes no agentic checkout fee. A fee of 4 percent and a fee of 2 percent circulate in trade coverage. Neither is used in the cost lines of the decision guide, which carry only published pricing. [shopify.com](https://www.shopify.com/agentic-plan), read 4 Nov 2026.

## Send a correction

Write to [editor@agentreadycheckout.com](mailto:editor@agentreadycheckout.com) with the page address, the statement you think is wrong, and a public source that shows it. We reply to say whether the evidence changes a cell. We do not change a status on request alone.

# Commerce discovery files in the shared crawl

In short

Of 178 commerce-category domains we could probe in the crawl of 4 Nov 2026, 15 served a valid UCP profile at /.well-known/ucp. Across the top 10,000 the figure is 47 of 7,401. The UCP row comes from a follow-up pass that did not check robots.txt per path, and answers of 403 or 429 are counted, not dropped.

The follow-up crawl probed /.well-known/ucp, the path the UCP specification publishes, on the same domains. It held 10508 rows when this slice was cut, and the UCP row above uses it.

## How it was built

The shared crawl read 13,071 domains on 4 Nov 2026 with a plain-fetch client and the user agent agent-readiness-crawl/1.0. Its main pass checked robots.txt for every path; the follow-up pass that supplies the UCP, ACP, x402 and web-bot-auth rows did not check robots.txt per path, and the table marks those rows. This slice keeps the domain, category, rank and the answer to each commerce probe. A file counts only when the answer is status 200, parses as JSON and carries the top-level key its format defines. The slicing script is scripts/slice-crawl.mjs and a test recomputes the headline number from the raw rows.

### Caveats

-   A file counts as valid only when the answer is status 200, parsed as JSON and carries the top-level key the format defines (ucp, protocol, x402Version, entries, openapi or swagger, agents, keys). A status 200 HTML page, a soft 404 or an unrelated JSON error does not count.
-   A probe with no response at all (timeout or connection error) is left out of the denominator. A probe that answered 403 or 429 is counted as probed and not valid, because a bot wall or a rate limit may hide a file; the 403 or 429 column shows how many, so those answers lower the share.
-   On the main crawl pass a path that robots.txt disallowed was not fetched and is left out of the denominator. The follow-up pass (the /.well-known/ucp, acp.json, x402 and web-bot-auth rows) did not check robots.txt per path, and the rows say so.
-   The category groups are small: they hold the domains that a public agent-readiness leaderboard files under E-commerce or Commerce Tools, plus the commerce brands named in the research. Read them as a sample, not as the commerce web.
-   Neither the ACP nor the x402 specification requires a discovery path. /.well-known/acp.json and /.well-known/x402 are conventions seen in the wild, so a missing file says nothing about support; x402 itself shows as a 402 response on a paid endpoint.

# Pay-per-call index: the aggregated dataset

In short

Two downloads aggregate Ora's paid-capability index as read on 5 Nov 2026: a JSON file of totals, price percentiles, networks, methods and the top tags, and a CSV with one row for each of the 1,586 hosts. The rows of Ora's catalog are not republished here; they are one GET away at Ora.

## Downloads

| Dataset | Format | File | Contents |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Aggregates | JSON | pay-per-call-index-2026-11-05.json | Totals, price percentiles and bands, networks, methods, top 100 tags, host size bands, common prices |
| Hosts | CSV | pay-per-call-hosts-2026-11-05.csv | One row per host (1,586): entries, label counts, lowest and highest price, networks |

## How it was made

One GET of https://ora.ai/api/ard/catalog.json on 5 Nov 2026 returned 15,194 entries, generated 2026-11-05T18:00:55.885Z. This site kept the 9,977 of type paid capability, computed every figure in the aggregate files and the pay-per-call pages from them, and published only the aggregates. Ora's pages we read state no licence for the catalog, so the files credit Ora as the source and carry no entry text. The reading script is scripts/ora-read.mjs: GET only, one request a second, the network's crawl user agent, no credential. A test recounts the headline figures from the saved slice.

From Ora's statistics

# How many scanned sites pass each payment check

In short

Of the 142,263 scans Ora counts for its Payments checks, read 5 Nov 2026, UCP passes 3.7 percent, x402 0.15 percent and AP2 0.05 percent. The Payments layer averages 4.6 percent of its points, against 35.0 for Discovery. Consumer and E-commerce lead the categories.

## How many scans pass each check

Ora's statistics endpoint reports a pass count for every check. For the six Payments checks the count sits against 142,263 scans. UCP passes 5,314, far ahead of ACP delegate payment (846), ACP (616), x402 (218), MPP (110) and AP2 (72). The figures are Ora's, taken from its own scans, and the pass share is a share of those scans, not of all sites.

Percent of Ora's scans that pass each Payments check. UCP leads and AP2 is last.

Pass counts as a table

| Check | Passes | Scans counted | Share | Matrix row |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| UCP - Universal Commerce Protocol | 5,314 | 142,263 | 3.735% | UCP |
| ACP delegate payment | 846 | 142,263 | 0.595% | ACP |
| ACP - Agentic Commerce Protocol | 616 | 142,263 | 0.433% | ACP |
| x402 payment protocol | 218 | 142,263 | 0.153% | x402 |
| MPP payment protocol | 110 | 142,263 | 0.077% | MPP |
| AP2 - Agent Payments Protocol | 72 | 142,263 | 0.051% | AP2 |

## The layer against the others

Across the scans Ora counts, 145,918 sites scanned and 132,088 companies ranked as of 5 Nov 2026, the Payments layer averages 4.6 percent of its points. The average score is 44 of 100. The pass counts in the section above are the more direct measure of how many sites expose a protocol.

Average percent of each layer's points across Ora's scans. Payments is far below the other three.

Layer averages as a table

| Layer | Points of 100 | Average share |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 20 | 35.03% |
| Access | 30 | 44.02% |
| Usability | 40 | 37.51% |
| Payments | 10 | 4.64% |

## By category

Ora groups companies into 27 categories. Consumer and E-commerce have the highest Payments layer averages, 11.3 and 10.4 percent. Commerce Tools, News & Intelligence, Travel & Hospitality sit at zero. Community holds 126,960 sites, most of the set; the other categories hold from 32 to 610, so the small ones move on a few domains.

Average share of the Payments layer's points by Ora category, top fifteen. The figures are Ora's layer averages, not the share of sites that accept x402.

## What this does not show

-   It is Ora's scan set, and the pages we read do not say how a site enters it.
-   A category average is a share of layer points, so it blends how many sites support a protocol with how many points the checks carry.
-   The pass counts cover the six checks as Ora groups them in the Payments layer; the statistics also list rows for the same check ids under the Access layer, with smaller scan counts, which this page leaves out.

## The pay-layer check we recommend

**[Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=adoption).** Ora's Payments layer runs 6 checks (x402, MPP, UCP, ACP, ACP delegate payment and AP2), worth 10 of 100 points, and publishes each check's points in GET /api/checks (132 checks in all, read 5 Nov 2026). A reader can look up a cached score, scan a domain for free at up to 10 scans a minute, or run `npx ax@0.10 audit <domain>`.

Limits: public URLs only, no repeat-scan data published, and the fixing product is behind a waitlist. [The checks mapped to the matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

## Method

All figures are Ora's, from GET /api/stats on the date shown, computed by Ora a few minutes earlier.

# API and MCP server | Agent Ready Checkout

# API and MCP server

In short

The matrix, the rules tracker and the discovery counts are also data an agent can query: an MCP server at /mcp with five read-only tools, a REST API under /api/v1 described by openapi.json, and an NLWeb /ask endpoint. No credential is needed, the limit is 120 requests a minute, and every answer comes from edition 2026-11-04.

## Connect the MCP server

The server speaks the Streamable HTTP transport at https://agentreadycheckout.com/mcp. Send JSON-RPC 2.0 messages with POST and read the JSON answer. The server keeps no session, takes no credential and opens no stream of its own, so each request gets exactly one answer. An MCP client that takes a URL connects with that address alone. The [server card](https://agentreadycheckout.com/mcp/server-card) and the [manifest](https://agentreadycheckout.com/.well-known/mcp.json) state the same facts in the forms clients read.

```bash
curl -s https://agentreadycheckout.com/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"my-agent","version":"1.0"}}}'
```

```bash
curl -s https://agentreadycheckout.com/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_matrix_cell","arguments":{"protocol_id":"acp","column_id":"stripe"}}}'
```

A tool answers with its result as `structuredContent` and the same JSON as text. A wrong argument answers `isError: true` with the parameter list, and an unknown tool answers JSON-RPC error -32602. `resources/list` names the resources (the page index, the methodology, this page and the dataset files) and `resources/read` returns them.

## The five tools

| Tool | What it returns | Parameters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| get_matrix_cell | Returns one cell of the protocol support matrix: the status (live, pilot, announced, not supported or no statement found), what that status means, the note, the source URL, the date the source was read and the page to cite. Call it to answer whether one protocol works with one processor, platform, retailer or agent surface. | protocol_id: The protocol id, case-insensitive; the short name also works, for example acp, ucp, x402 or Visa TAP.; column_id: The processor, platform, retailer or agent surface id; the short name also works, for example stripe, shopify or chatgpt-shopping. |
| list_protocol_support | Lists one protocol across the 27 processors, platforms, retailers and agent surfaces: each column's status, note, source URL, read date and cell page, with the count of cells per status. Filter by status or by column group. Call it to answer where a protocol is live, in pilot or only announced. | protocol_id: The protocol id, case-insensitive; the short name also works, for example ucp, ap2 or Mastercard Agent Pay.; status (optional): Keep only cells with this status.; group (optional): Keep only one column group: processor, platform, retailer or surface. |
| list_column_support | Lists one processor, platform, retailer or agent surface across the 12 protocols: each protocol's status, note, source URL, read date and cell page, with the count of cells per status. Filter by status. Call it to answer which agent payment protocols a given product supports. | column_id: The processor, platform, retailer or agent surface id, case-insensitive; the short name also works, for example stripe, shopify, walmart or ChatGPT.; status (optional): Keep only cells with this status. |
| search_rules | Searches the liability and rules tracker: dated changes in card-network rulebooks and agent payment frameworks, each with the document, the page or section, who carries the dispute, the source and the read date. Filter by network, by words and by a start date. Newest first. | network (optional): visa, mastercard, amex, ap2 (FIDO Alliance) or other (other rule and policy changes).; q (optional): Words that must all appear in the change, the document title, the page or the dispute reading, for example "agentic token" or "chargeback".; since (optional): Only rows dated on or after this day, YYYY-MM-DD, for example 2026-09-01. |
| get_discovery_prevalence | Returns how many probed domains serve a valid commerce discovery file (a UCP profile, ACP and x402 paths, an agent registry file, OpenAPI, agents.json, web bot auth keys) in each crawl group: domains probed, answers of 403 or 429, valid files and the share, with the caveats and the page to cite. Call it for how common these files are. | group (optional): Keep one crawl group by id: commerce-categories, top-10000 or payments-fintech.; path (optional): Keep the probe paths that contain this text, for example ucp, x402 or openapi. |

## The REST API

Each tool is also one GET endpoint under `/api/v1/`, with the parameters in the query string and the same JSON in the answer. [/api](https://agentreadycheckout.com/api) is the index. [/openapi.json](https://agentreadycheckout.com/openapi.json) describes every operation with its parameters, response schema and the Error schema, and [/.well-known/api-catalog](https://agentreadycheckout.com/.well-known/api-catalog) links that description as RFC 9727 specifies. Paginated endpoints take `limit` (1 to 100) and the `next_cursor` of the previous page as `cursor`.

-   [/api/v1/get\_matrix\_cell?protocol\_id=acp&column\_id=stripe](https://agentreadycheckout.com/api/v1/get_matrix_cell?protocol_id=acp&column_id=stripe)  
    One matrix cell.
-   [/api/v1/list\_protocol\_support?protocol\_id=ucp&status=live](https://agentreadycheckout.com/api/v1/list_protocol_support?protocol_id=ucp&status=live)  
    One protocol across the columns. Paginated.
-   [/api/v1/list\_column\_support?column\_id=shopify](https://agentreadycheckout.com/api/v1/list_column_support?column_id=shopify)  
    One column across the protocols. Paginated.
-   [/api/v1/search\_rules?network=visa](https://agentreadycheckout.com/api/v1/search_rules?network=visa)  
    Liability and rules tracker. Paginated.
-   [/api/v1/get\_discovery\_prevalence](https://agentreadycheckout.com/api/v1/get_discovery_prevalence)  
    Commerce discovery file prevalence.
-   [/api](https://agentreadycheckout.com/api)  
    The index: endpoints, datasets, limits and the versioning policy.

```bash
curl -s 'https://agentreadycheckout.com/api/v1/get_matrix_cell?protocol_id=acp&column_id=stripe' | jq .status
```

## Ask in plain words

The `/ask` endpoint follows NLWeb 0.55. It searches the matrix cells, the protocol and column profiles, the rules tracker, the discovery counts and every page, and returns schema.org objects that each carry a `grounding.source` URL to cite. GET takes `query` and POST takes the NLWeb request object. Add `streaming=true`, or `prefer.streaming`, for server-sent events named start, result and complete. `mode=summarize` adds a one-sentence SearchSummary item composed from the results by a template.

```bash
curl -s 'https://agentreadycheckout.com/ask?query=x402+Coinbase'
```

```bash
curl -s https://agentreadycheckout.com/ask -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"query":{"text":"Mastercard Agent Pay live"},"prefer":{"mode":"list"},"meta":{"version":"0.55"}}'
```

A query that matches nothing answers `_meta.response_type: failure` with code NO\_RESULTS, and a missing query answers 400 with INVALID\_QUERY. A context object is accepted and ignored, since each answer is a lookup in the data and not a conversation.

## Discovery files

-   [/openapi.json](https://agentreadycheckout.com/openapi.json)  
    OpenAPI 3.1 for the REST API and /ask, linked from the home page as rel=service-desc and from the Link header.
-   [/.well-known/api-catalog](https://agentreadycheckout.com/.well-known/api-catalog)  
    RFC 9727 linkset: the API, the MCP server and the ask endpoint with their descriptions.
-   [/mcp/server-card](https://agentreadycheckout.com/mcp/server-card)  
    The MCP server card with name, version, remote URL and protocol versions, copied to /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.
-   [/.well-known/mcp.json](https://agentreadycheckout.com/.well-known/mcp.json)  
    The manifest: endpoint, transport and the tools with their input schemas.
-   [/.well-known/ai-catalog.json](https://agentreadycheckout.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json)  
    AI Catalog 1.0 with entries for the MCP card, the OpenAPI document, the ask endpoint and every document; the same file sits at /.well-known/ard.json.
-   [/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json](https://agentreadycheckout.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json)  
    Two skills in SKILL.md form, one for agent payment support and one for the rules tracker, each listed with its sha256 digest.
-   [/assets/webmcp.js](https://agentreadycheckout.com/assets/webmcp.js)  
    Registers the same tools through navigator.modelContext in browsers that offer WebMCP; each call goes to the REST endpoint of the same name.
-   [/schemamap.xml](https://agentreadycheckout.com/schemamap.xml)  
    Schema feeds: the matrix cells, profiles, rules and discovery counts as JSON-LD lines under /feeds/, named in robots.txt.

## Access, limits and errors

Credential

None. The OpenAPI document declares `security: []` with no security schemes, and [auth.md](https://agentreadycheckout.com/auth.md) says the same. The site publishes no OAuth metadata because no endpoint takes a token, and metadata for an authorization server that does not exist would send agents to a door that is not there.

Rate limit

120 requests a minute per client address, counted per running instance and announced in `RateLimit` and `RateLimit-Policy` headers. A 429 carries `Retry-After`, and the host adds its own limits above that. Each dataset is also one download from [the data page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data), so a bulk reader never needs the API.

Errors

JSON, never HTML: `{"error":{"code","message","hint","status","docs"}}` with the codes invalid\_params, not\_found, method\_not\_allowed, rate\_limited and internal. A missing endpoint under /api answers 404 and lists the real endpoints in the hint.

Writes

There are none, so every call is safe to retry and no idempotency key exists. Every call answers in one response, so no job pattern is needed.

CORS

Every answer carries `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`, so an agent that runs in a browser can call the API and the MCP server.

## Versioning

The path prefix `/api/v1` is the contract. A breaking change, such as a removed or renamed field or a removed tool, ships under `/api/v2` while `/api/v1` keeps answering for at least 180 days, announced on this page and in the `info.version` of openapi.json. Additive changes, such as a new field or a new tool, keep the prefix. The MCP server card and `serverInfo.version` carry the same version number as the OpenAPI document. The data behind every answer is edition 2026-11-04; the edition travels in the `X-Dataset-Edition` header and in each result.

## Cite the data

Every result names the page it comes from, so cite that URL. The data files are free to reuse with attribution under [the terms](https://agentreadycheckout.com/terms), and [the data page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data) gives the cite line for each dataset.

## What the surface does not do

It does not write, hold accounts, generate text with a model or search beyond this site's own cells, profiles, rules and pages. A cell read through the API is the cell on the page, with the same read date. The matrix pages stay the record, and [the methodology](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method) explains how a cell is read.

# Editorial policy | Agent Ready Checkout

> How statuses are decided, which sources count, how vendor claims and trade press are labelled, and how corrections are made on the agent checkout matrix.

Source: https://agentreadycheckout.com/editorial-policy
Site: Agent Ready Checkout
Last reviewed: 2026-11-04

# Editorial policy

In short

Statuses follow evidence, not requests. A live cell needs the vendor's own page or documentation; an announced cell may rest on named trade press; a cell with nothing found says so with the date. Conflicts are recorded in the note and errors are corrected in the open.

## Evidence

-   Primary sources first: specifications, repositories, rulebooks, vendor documentation and filings.
-   Trade press is allowed for announced status and for events, with the publication named, and is labelled as trade press where it appears.
-   Vendor claims about the vendor are labelled as vendor claims, including claims by the vendor of any scanner this site mentions.
-   Every fact has a read date. A source that changes is re-read at the next edition.

## How a status changes

A company can send evidence through the [contact page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/contact), and a cell changes only when the evidence meets the rule above. Ora, a scanner this site recommends on the [method page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method), is not in the matrix and gets no profile; its figures appear labelled as its own.

## Writing

Pages are written for a payments engineer who has read the specifications: short sentences, dates on every number, and no adjectives a source did not use. Each page opens with a short answer, ends with its sources, and gives the date it was last reviewed. Questions are kept out of headings except in the FAQ.

## Corrections

An error is fixed in the data and the page, and the change is logged on the [corrections page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/corrections) with the date. A dated change to the world, such as a vendor moving a product from pilot to live, is not a correction; it goes into the next edition's changelog.

# Frequently asked questions about agent checkout

In short

30 questions payments teams and merchants ask about agents that buy: can ChatGPT still check out, who is merchant of record, who pays for a disputed order, what UCP and ACP require, and what x402 is for. Each answer is short and carries its source and read date.

## The questions

### Can ChatGPT still buy from my store?

Not inside the chat. OpenAI moved purchases back to merchant websites and apps on 24 Mar 2026 and says it is moving away from a standalone Instant Checkout experience. ChatGPT now shows products from ACP feeds and sends the shopper to your checkout, with no OpenAI fee on those purchases. [chatgpt.com](https://chatgpt.com/merchants/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Did OpenAI shut down Instant Checkout in March 2026?

OpenAI did not use the word shutdown. Its 24 Mar 2026 post said the initial Instant Checkout did not offer the flexibility it wanted and that merchants would use their own checkout while OpenAI focused on discovery. Trade press dated the change to early March; OpenAI's own notice is dated 24 Mar 2026. [openai.com](https://openai.com/index/powering-product-discovery-in-chatgpt/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Is ACP dead?

No. ACP shipped version 2026-04-17 with cart, feed, orders and MCP, Meta joined OpenAI and Stripe as a lead maintainer on 24 Apr 2026, and OpenAI uses ACP for product feeds in ChatGPT. What ended is in-chat checkout in ChatGPT. [github.com](https://github.com/agentic-commerce-protocol/agentic-commerce-protocol/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What is the difference between ACP and UCP?

Both keep the merchant as merchant of record and pass a token to the merchant PSP. UCP runs live checkout in Google AI Mode and Gemini and is the feed format for Copilot Checkout; ACP now carries discovery feeds in ChatGPT. UCP is governed by a Tech Council; ACP has three lead maintainers. [ucp.dev](https://ucp.dev/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Do I need to build UCP if I am on Shopify?

No. Shopify serves UCP Cart, Checkout and Order MCP endpoints and the /.well-known/ucp profile for stores, and agents register their own profiles self-serve since 17 Jun 2026. You turn on Agentic Storefronts in Admin and keep product data clean. [shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/agents), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Who is merchant of record when an agent buys?

The merchant. ACP, UCP, Google, Microsoft, PayPal for Perplexity and Stripe for Muse all state the merchant stays merchant of record, and Visa's rules say initiators of Agentic Transactions are not merchants. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Who pays when an agent buys the wrong thing?

Under Visa Core Rules 4.1.23.10 the cardholder is responsible for an Agentic Payment Provider's actions as if the cardholder initiated the transaction, so a mistake inside the instruction is not fraud by itself. American Express has announced Agent Purchase Protection for agent error, described as coming in the future. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Is there a chargeback reason code for agent purchases?

Not on Visa or in Mastercard's public rules. Agent fraud claims use Visa Dispute Condition 10.4 and consumer claims use category 13. The October 2026 Visa rules add an agent provider's login ID to the matching data a merchant can use against 10.4. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What did Visa change in April 2026?

The 18 Apr 2026 edition of the Visa Core Rules added section 4.1.23, Agentic Platform Requirements: enrolment in Visa Intelligent Commerce, consent and expiry for payment instructions, identity checks, no aggregation, 120-day order confirmations, and cardholder responsibility for the agent's actions. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What did Visa change in October 2026?

The 24 Oct 2026 edition keeps section 4.1.23 and updates Dispute Condition 10.4 (section 11.8.5.3, last updated Oct 2026), whose matching evidence names login IDs for an Agentic Payment Provider. The summary of changes lists no new agent-specific dispute condition. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Does Mastercard flag agent-initiated transactions?

Mastercard identifies agents through registration and agentic tokens, and from 30 Sep 2026 is testing in the US a probability score that a transaction was initiated by an AI agent. Its public rulebooks of June 2026 contain no agentic provision. [mastercard.com](https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/news-and-trends/press/2026/september/new-trust-and-intelligence-services.html), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What is Visa Intelligent Commerce Connect?

A Visa Acceptance Platform integration announced in April 2026 that accepts agent-initiated payments over TAP, MPP, ACP and UCP, network and token vault agnostic. It is in pilot with AWS, Diddo, Highnote, Mesh, Payabli and Sumvin. [visa.co.uk](https://www.visa.co.uk/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.3442048.html), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Does the Visa Trusted Agent Protocol cost anything?

Visa publishes no fee. TAP is a signature scheme on GitHub and in the Visa Developer Center; verification can run at your CDN, and Cloudflare validates TAP signatures. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.releaseId.21716.html), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What do TAP and Agent Pay change for my WAF?

Both sign agent requests with Web Bot Auth. Your CDN can verify Signature-Input and Signature headers against the agent's published key and allow registered agents that bot rules would otherwise block. [blog.cloudflare.com](https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-agentic-commerce/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What is x402 and who governs it?

x402 lets a server reply HTTP 402 with a price and accept payment on retry, mostly in stablecoins. The Linux Foundation announced the x402 Foundation on 2 Apr 2026 and its operational launch on 14 Jul 2026 with 40 members including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Shopify and Google. [x402.org](https://x402.org/linux-foundation-announces-operational-launch-of-x402-foundation-to-standardize-internet-native-payments-for-ai-agents-and-applications/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Does x402 support Lightning?

Yes, in the spec: an exact scheme for Bitcoin Lightning (lnbtc) was merged into the x402 specification on 23 Sep 2026. Facilitator support varies; Coinbase's facilitator lists EVM and Solana networks. [github.com](https://github.com/x402-foundation/x402/blob/main/specs/schemes/exact/scheme_exact_lnbtc.md), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What is the difference between x402 and MPP?

Both use HTTP 402. x402 is foundation-governed and settles mostly onchain; MPP, by Tempo and Stripe, adds session and subscription intents and accepts card tokens as well as stablecoins. Stripe accepts both. [mpp.dev](https://mpp.dev/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### How much does Stripe charge for agentic payments?

Stripe lists $0.15 per Shared Payment Token issued and 1.5 percent for stablecoin payments, on top of normal card pricing. It lists no separate ACP fee. [stripe.com](https://stripe.com/pricing), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Is Google AI Mode checkout open to every merchant?

No. Google's help page says UCP checkout is available for select merchants with phased availability by interest form, for products eligible in the US, Canada and Australia, and uses standard card numbers from Google Wallet today. [support.google.com](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/16837055), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Which protocol does Microsoft Copilot Checkout use?

Microsoft's onboarding page requires a Microsoft Merchant Center account with a UCP-compliant feed, or a trusted partner (PayPal Store Sync, Shopify, Stripe ACS). Its January 2026 post had cited ACP. Copilot takes no commission today. [about.ads.microsoft.com](https://about.ads.microsoft.com/en/solutions/technology/agentic-commerce), read 4 Nov 2026.

### How does Perplexity check out?

Through PayPal Instant Buy, launched 25 Nov 2025, with PayPal handling identity, protection and processing and the retailer as merchant of record. [newsroom.paypal-corp.com](https://newsroom.paypal-corp.com/2025-11-PayPal-and-Perplexity-Launch-Instant-Buy), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Why did Amazon block Meta Muse?

Amazon began blocking Muse on 20 Sep 2026, saying it does not identify itself as an agent. Amazon's Conditions of Use (14 Aug 2026) require agents to send "Agent/\[agent name\]" in every request. Reports of an October block are wrong on the date. [siliconangle.com](https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/21/amazon-blocks-metas-muse-agent-from-shopping-on-users-behalf/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### How does Meta Muse pay?

Muse pays through Stripe Link: a saved Link method at more than 1 million Link merchants and a single-use virtual card scoped to the approved purchase elsewhere. The user approves the total in chat. [stripe.com](https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/stripe-helps-meta-muse-shop-with-link), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What is AP2 and is it live?

AP2 is Google's mandate-based agent payment protocol, now in FIDO Alliance working groups. It is at v0.2 (28 Apr 2026) with sample code; Google has announced it for Gemini Spark but no surface states it is live for merchants. [github.com](https://github.com/google-agentic-commerce/AP2/releases), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What is Verifiable Intent?

A draft v0.1 open credential format from Mastercard and Google that proves what a user authorised an agent to buy, using SD-JWT, contributed to the FIDO Alliance in April 2026. [github.com](https://github.com/agent-intent/verifiable-intent), read 4 Nov 2026.

### What is Amex ACE?

American Express's Agentic Commerce Experiences developer kit with five services; three specifications have been available since 14 Apr 2026, and agent registration is still under development. [americanexpress.com](https://www.americanexpress.com/en-us/company/agentic-commerce/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Does Adobe Commerce support UCP or ACP?

Not natively as of 4 Nov 2026. Adobe's architecture guide updated 21 Oct 2026 still says it is committed to supporting ACP and UCP; Adobe offers a Commerce MCP server. [experienceleague.adobe.com](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce/information-center/insights-and-guidance/architectural-foundations-agentic-commerce), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Can WooCommerce stores sell through agents?

WooCommerce lists UCP and ACP as coming soon. Its private-beta WooCommerce AI extension can expose a store's UCP services when agentic commerce is enabled. [woocommerce.com](https://woocommerce.com/agentic-commerce/), read 4 Nov 2026.

### How well do agents complete checkouts with Link?

Ora's lab found (October 2026) that agents paying through Link got 92.3 percent of test checkouts right (733 of 794) in Stripe test mode, below saved cards at 95.6 and 96.6 percent. Ora is the vendor of that test. [agentready.org](https://agentready.org/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=faq), read 4 Nov 2026.

### Where does Ora appear on this site?

Ora is not a row, a column or a profile in the matrix. It is the pay-layer check this site recommends, and it appears on the method page, the decision guide, the pay-per-call pages and the pages that map its six Payments checks to the matrix and compare the scanners that test payments. Its figures are labelled as its own. [Method page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method), read 4 Nov 2026.

# Merchant decision guide for agent checkout | Agent Ready Checkout

# Merchant decision guide

In short

The decision guide answers one question: given your platform, processor, size band and the channels where customers shop with agents, which protocols apply and what does the integration cost and risk? It holds 18 answers, six platforms by three size bands, each from published pricing and documentation dated 4 Nov 2026. Without JavaScript every answer is on this page.

## Pick your stack

All 18 answers are shown below. With JavaScript the form narrows them to your platform, size band, processor and channels. Without JavaScript the form filters by platform and size band only; processor and channel choices are ignored, so read the processor table and the channel lists below.

**Check it:** after you choose a path, scan your own domain to see how an agent reads it today. The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=guide), whose Payments layer runs 6 checks across x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 (GET /api/checks, read 5 Nov 2026). Its score is Ora's reading, not ours, and Ora is not part of the matrix. [The six checks against the matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer), [the other scanners that test payments](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers).

## What your processor adds

The decision form's processor choice reads from this table. A status here is the processor's own cell in the matrix for each protocol the guide recommends.

# Agent checkout on Adobe Commerce: the merchant guide

In short

Adobe Commerce has committed to UCP and ACP and shipped a Commerce MCP server, while its own pages describe protocol support as a commitment. Its stated cells: ACP (announced), UCP (announced), AP2 (announced). First open risk: Adobe Commerce has not shipped native UCP or ACP endpoints; its Oct 2026 guide still says "committed to supporting".

# Agent checkout on Shopify: the merchant guide

In short

Shopify co-developed UCP with Google, syndicates catalogs to AI chats through Agentic Storefronts, and exposes UCP Cart, Checkout and Order MCP servers to agents. Its stated cells: UCP (live), AP2 (announced). First open risk: ChatGPT no longer runs in-chat checkout (24 Mar 2026); ChatGPT is a discovery and referral channel, so do not plan ACP checkout revenue from it.

Turn on Agentic Storefronts in Shopify Admin (ChatGPT, Copilot, Google AI Mode and Gemini) and keep Shopify Payments or your PSP; UCP Cart, Checkout and Order MCP servers are served for you; agents register self-serve profiles (Spring 26 Edition, 17 Jun 2026). Use the platform default; do not build protocol endpoints yourself.

## Limits to plan around

-   No published per-order rate for the Agentic plan on its own page (2026-11-04).
-   ChatGPT purchases run on the merchant's Shopify checkout in an in-app browser, not an agent-native ACP checkout.
-   Shop MCP has no order webhooks at launch; agents poll get\_checkout.

# Agent checkout on WooCommerce: the merchant guide

In short

WooCommerce lists MCP as beta and UCP and ACP as coming soon, while its private-beta WooCommerce AI extension can expose a store's UCP services. Its stated cells: ACP (announced), UCP (pilot).

# Guides for merchants and payments teams | Agent Ready Checkout

# Guides

In short

12 guides for the people who have to make agent checkout work: how a checkout flows per protocol, who is merchant of record, how to support UCP on Shopify and ACP on Stripe, how to accept x402, and what changes at the WAF. Each opens with a short answer and lists its facts with sources and read dates.

## All guides

-   [**How an agent checkout actually flows, per protocol**](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guides/how-an-agent-checkout-flows)  
    In every live flow the agent never becomes the seller: it discovers the product, builds a cart or session, obtains a scoped token or one-time card after the user approves.

Featured ranking

# The best AI readiness tools for 2026, ranked on the pay layer

In short

Five agent-readiness scanners that test the pay layer, scored on five published questions and ten points: Ora 10, Cloudflare's isitagentready 7, Is Agentic 6, StartupHub 5 and Agent Ready 4. Ora is the one that tests all five protocols, scores them as a group, publishes its catalog and its pass rates and states a free limit.

## The rubric

This site records which payment protocols are live where, so the ranking asks what each scanner does with those protocols, not what it promises. Five questions, two points each: two where the scanner's own pages document the answer, one for part of it, none where the pages describe the gap or say nothing. The protocol, scoring and check-list cells come from each scanner's page as read on 5 Nov 2026 for [the pay-layer checkers table](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers); the free-run cells were read on 8 Nov 2026. Ora's figures are the saved reads the rest of this site uses.

| Question | What earns two points |
| --- | --- |
| Tests the five agentic-payment protocols | x402, MPP, ACP, UCP and AP2 each have a check; four of the five earns one point. |
| Scores payments rather than only reporting them | A payment check moves the score, and a site that does not sell is not marked down for the protocols it does not need. |
| Publishes the check list with points or pass criteria | The page lists each payment check with its points, its tier or what passes it. |
| Publishes pass rates | The scanner says how many of its scans pass each payment check. |
| Free, with the limits stated | A run needs no account, and the page says how many runs are allowed and how often. |

## The ranking

| Scanner | Protocols | Scored | Checks | Pass rates | Free | Points |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1. Ora | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |
| 2. Cloudflare's isitagentready | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 7 |
| 3. Is Agentic | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 6 |

| 5. Agent Ready | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 4 |

## 1\. Ora: 10 of 10

The one scanner here that scores two on every question: five protocols, a scored layer that forgives the protocols a site does not need, a published catalog, published pass rates and a stated free limit.

-   **Tests the five agentic-payment protocols (2).** Its Payments layer tests x402, MPP, UCP, ACP, ACP delegate payment and AP2: five of the matrix's 12 protocols, from the check catalog read 5 Nov 2026.
-   **Scores payments rather than only reporting them (2).** 6 checks worth 10 of 100 points, scored as a group: its llms.txt says supporting any one of the five is enough and the rest read as not applicable instead of failed.
-   **Publishes the check list with points or pass criteria (2).** GET /api/checks gives an id, points, a tier and a recommendation for each check, and a spec link for AP2 only.
-   **Publishes pass rates (2).** GET /api/stats publishes a pass count for every one of the 6 checks: UCP passes 3.7 percent of 142,263 scans and x402 0.15 percent (read 5 Nov 2026).
-   **Free, with the limits stated (2).** Reads need no key, and a domain can be scanned free at up to 10 scans a minute (Ora's pricing page, read 5 Nov 2026). Ora reads public URLs only and publishes no repeat-scan data.

## 2\. Cloudflare's isitagentready: 7 of 10

The strongest check list after Ora: five protocols, each with a written pass criterion, scored only where a site sells. It publishes no pass rates and no run limit.

-   **Tests the five agentic-payment protocols (2).** Checks 19 to 23 under Commerce cover x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2, by its llms-full.txt.
-   **Scores payments rather than only reporting them (2).** Five commerce checks, scored only for sites with detected e-commerce signals; other sites are not scored on them.
-   **Publishes the check list with points or pass criteria (2).** Its llms-full.txt gives each check a pass criterion, such as a /.well-known/ucp file with a protocol version and services, or an A2A Agent Card with an AP2 extension.
-   **Publishes pass rates (0).** No pass rates on the pages read.
-   **Free, with the limits stated (1).** Enter a URL and scan; no sign-in step or price on the page, and no run limit stated (read 8 Nov 2026).

## 3\. Is Agentic: 6 of 10

Ora's engine with a Vercel front. The same five checks and the same scoring, read through a commerce lens, with the catalog and the pass rates living on Ora's own pages.

-   **Tests the five agentic-payment protocols (2).** Ora's five payment checks, x402, MPP, ACP, UCP and AP2, shown through a commerce site-type view.
-   **Scores payments rather than only reporting them (2).** Its methodology page says Ora runs the scan and scores each layer, check and recommendation, and that the commerce view changes which checks are required, bonus, gated or emerging without changing the score.
-   **Publishes the check list with points or pass criteria (1).** The methodology page describes the layers and the site-type view; the check list with points is Ora's, one site over.
-   **Publishes pass rates (0).** No pass rates on the pages read.
-   **Free, with the limits stated (1).** Enter a URL and score; no price on the page, and the pages read state no run limit (read 8 Nov 2026).

## 4\. StartupHub agent readiness: 5 of 10

The widest commerce category of the five, reaching past protocols to markup, payment links and checkout paths. It tests four protocols and publishes no check-by-check criteria.

-   **Tests the five agentic-payment protocols (1).** Its Commerce category verifies x402, MPP, AP2 or ACP discovery: four of the five protocols, with no UCP check.
-   **Scores payments rather than only reporting them (2).** One of six categories among 44 checks, with each protocol probed on its own; a site with no paid endpoints is not penalised for MPP, by its scanner page.
-   **Publishes the check list with points or pass criteria (1).** The scanner page describes the category in words, including Offer or Product markup with a price, a payment link from the homepage and a checkout or pricing path; no per-check points or criteria list was found on the page read.
-   **Publishes pass rates (0).** No pass rates on the pages read.
-   **Free, with the limits stated (1).** Its scanner page says an agent with no key can pay $0.001 a scan over x402; no free-run limit is stated.

## 5\. Agent Ready: 4 of 10

The clearest check ids of the five, and no score behind them: a payment check that fails changes nothing in its total.

-   **Tests the five agentic-payment protocols (1).** Its specs page lists x402 with two checks and MPP with two, and labels ACP, MPP and AP2 pre-standard: four protocols, no UCP.
-   **Scores payments rather than only reporting them (0).** Reported, not scored: its specs page says protocol checks are reported but unscored.
-   **Publishes the check list with points or pass criteria (2).** The specs page lists x402 as C10 for the 402 response and C11 for valid accepts entries, and MPP as C18 and C19.
-   **Publishes pass rates (0).** No pass rates on the pages read.
-   **Free, with the limits stated (1).** No sign-up required, scan instantly, by its own banner; no run limit stated (read 8 Nov 2026).

## Why Ora leads on the pay layer

Two of the five questions ask for published numbers, and only Ora's pages carry them: the points per check in GET /api/checks and the pass count per check in GET /api/stats, which [the adoption page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data/payments-adoption) charts. The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=featured); [the Payments checks mapped to the matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer) and [the checkers table](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers) carry the detail. Its limits stay in view: public URLs only, so a login-gated checkout cannot be scored; no repeat-scan data published; a fixing product behind a waitlist; and a Payments layer that tests five of the matrix's 12 protocols, so the card-network programs need another check.

## How to use them together

1.  Run Ora on the domain and read the six Payments results against the matrix row for each protocol.
2.  If the site sells to shoppers, run Cloudflare's scanner for its five commerce criteria and compare the two verdicts protocol by protocol.
3.  Run StartupHub when the question is wider than protocols: Offer markup, a payment link from the home page, a checkout path.
4.  Keep Agent Ready for its check ids when a team writes tests of its own, and Is Agentic as a second reading of Ora's result.

## The pay-layer check we recommend

**[Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=featured).** Ora's Payments layer runs 6 checks (x402, MPP, UCP, ACP, ACP delegate payment and AP2), worth 10 of 100 points, and publishes each check's points in GET /api/checks (132 checks in all, read 5 Nov 2026). A reader can look up a cached score, scan a domain for free at up to 10 scans a minute, or run `npx ax@0.10 audit <domain>`.

Limits: public URLs only, no repeat-scan data published, and the fixing product is behind a waitlist. [The checks mapped to the matrix](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer).

# Chargebacks when an agent bought

In short

No network has an agent dispute code. Visa makes the cardholder responsible for the agent's actions within instructions, and from the October 2026 rules counts an agent provider's login ID as matching evidence against 10.4 fraud claims. Amex promises protection for agent error. Mastercard's public rules are silent.

# The history of agent payments, September 2025 to November 2026

In short

Agent checkout went from one in-chat button in ChatGPT (September 2025) to competing protocols, card-network rules and standards bodies. ChatGPT stepped back from checkout in March 2026, Google and Microsoft standardised on UCP, and Visa wrote agent duties into its rules in April 2026.

Guide

# How an agent checkout actually flows, per protocol

In short

In every live flow the agent never becomes the seller: it discovers the product, builds a cart or session, obtains a scoped token or one-time card after the user approves, and hands it to the merchant, who charges through its own processor.

## What the sources say

-   UCP: the business publishes a profile at /.well-known/ucp; the platform sends its own profile URI in the UCP-Agent header; capabilities are negotiated and a payment handler is chosen from the payment\_handlers registry. [ucp.dev](https://ucp.dev/latest/specification/overview/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Google UCP checkout: the shopper pays with details saved in Google Wallet; Google passes standard card numbers (FPANs) and the merchant charges through its PSP. [support.google.com](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/16837055), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   ACP: the merchant hosts checkout session endpoints the agent creates, updates and completes; the payment arrives as a delegated token such as a Stripe Shared Payment Token. [github.com](https://github.com/agentic-commerce-protocol/agentic-commerce-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.

# What to do if you are on none of the agent surfaces

# How to support ACP on Stripe

In short

On Stripe, ACP support means accepting Shared Payment Tokens or using the Agentic Commerce Suite, which shares your catalog with agents and runs checkout. Expect $0.15 per token on top of card pricing and preview API terms. ChatGPT now uses ACP for discovery, not checkout.

# What TAP and Agent Pay change at the WAF

In short

Visa TAP and Mastercard Agent Pay both sign agent requests with Web Bot Auth. Your CDN or WAF can verify the Signature-Input and Signature headers against the agent's published key, then allow registered agents through rules that would block anonymous bots.

## What the sources say

-   Cloudflare: both TAP and Agent Pay use Web Bot Auth as the agent authentication layer. [blog.cloudflare.com](https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-agentic-commerce/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Cloudflare checks headers, fetches the key by keyid, checks created and expires, rejects reused nonces, validates the tag and verifies an Ed25519 signature. [blog.cloudflare.com](https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-agentic-commerce/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   TAP signatures carry timestamps, a session identifier, key and algorithm identifiers, and are bound to the merchant domain and the operation. [github.com](https://github.com/visa/trusted-agent-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Mastercard: merchants can verify agents with Web Bot Auth at the CDN without new code. [mastercard.com](https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/news-and-trends/stories/2025/agentic-commerce-framework.html), read 4 Nov 2026.

# How to tell agent-initiated orders in your data

In short

Today there is no single flag. Use the channel (UCP or ACP session, Copilot or Google order source), the token type (Shared Payment Token, single-use Link card, network agentic token), the signed agent identity at the edge, and on Mastercard the new probability score your issuer sees.

# How to test an agent purchase on your own store

In short

Run a sandbox order through each path you enable: Google's UCP sandbox validation, Stripe test mode with Shared Payment Tokens and Link Agent Wallet, an x402 or MPP test against your endpoint, then check what your CDN logs and your order system record.

# Who is merchant of record in each protocol

In short

In ACP, UCP, Google AI Mode, Copilot Checkout, Perplexity Instant Buy and Muse purchases the merchant stays merchant of record. Visa's rules say an agent that initiates a transaction is not a merchant. So chargebacks on agent orders land on the merchant, as on any web order.

# Methodology

In short

Every cell in the matrix has one of five statuses, a note, a source URL and the date the source was read. Live needs the vendor's own page or documentation. Announced may rest on named trade press. Nothing found is stated, never guessed.

## What a cell says

| Status | Definition | Cells |
| --- | --- | --- |
| live | Generally available or in production, confirmed by the vendor's own page or docs | 23 |
| pilot | Limited pilot, beta, early access, waitlist or select merchants | 12 |
| announced | Announced, partner or member status only; trade press allowed with the publication named | 57 |
| not supported | A source says it is not supported, withdrawn, or blocked | 3 |
| no statement found | Nothing published was found on the read date | 229 |
|  |
| All cells |  | 324 |

A cell never reads blank. Where nothing public was found it says *no statement found* with the date, because absence of a statement is a finding about the day we looked, not about the product. When a source contradicts another, the cell carries the primary source and the note records the conflict; the open ones are on the [corrections page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/corrections).

## The evidence rule

-   A live cell needs a primary source: the vendor's own page, documentation, repository or filing. Trade press alone never makes a cell live.
-   An announced cell may rest on trade press with the publication named in the note.
-   Every source is read on a stated date. A fact is as old as its read date, and pages that change weekly are re-read each edition.
-   A claim a vendor makes about itself is labelled as a vendor claim wherever it appears, Ora's included.
-   Prices come from published pricing pages only. A fee that circulates in coverage but is not published is not used.

## The merchant-readiness rubric

Each protocol profile carries the same seven rows. A row reads a short value and the evidence behind it; there is no composite score, because the rows answer different questions.

| Row | What it asks |
| --- | --- |
| Specification public | Whether the specification text can be read without signing in or signing a contract. |
| Reference implementation | Whether the owner publishes code a merchant can run or copy, and under which terms. |
| Live surfaces | Whether any agent surface runs the protocol for real shoppers today, as against announcements. |
| Processor support | Whether payment processors publish a path for the protocol, and which ones. |
| Merchant of record | Who is the seller in the transaction: the merchant, the agent platform or a third party. |
| Dispute rules | What the specification or the network rules say about a disputed agent purchase. |
| Cost | The fee the protocol itself adds, read from published pricing, and nothing the merchant pays its processor anyway. |

## The source mix

| Measure | Primary | Secondary | Vendor or vendor claim |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Source pages in the library | 137 | 20 | 2 |
| Facts on profile pages | 261 | 20 | 27 |

The library holds 159 source pages read on 4 Nov 2026. Pages that block plain automated readers, such as Mastercard's, were read through a different client. Every source is a public page; nothing behind a login is used.

## Editions and the changelog

The matrix is re-read monthly and carries a dated changelog on its [edition page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/matrix/2026-11-04). This subject moves weekly, so a cell is only as current as its read date. The [datasets](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data) are cut from each edition, and the [commerce discovery file prevalence](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data/commerce-discovery-files) comes from a shared crawl of public sites. Its main pass checked robots.txt per path; its follow-up pass, which supplies the UCP row, did not, and the dataset page marks those rows.

## The API, the MCP server and the ask endpoint

The cells, rules rows and crawl counts that the pages show reach agents three ways, documented on the [API and MCP server page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/developers): an MCP server at `/mcp` with five read-only tools, a REST API under `/api/v1/` described by [openapi.json](https://agentreadycheckout.com/openapi.json), and an NLWeb `/ask` endpoint that returns schema.org objects with a source URL each. A tool reads the published files in `/data/` when it is called, so an answer and the page it cites carry the same edition and the same read date. Nothing writes and no credential exists. The site publishes no OAuth metadata because no endpoint takes a token, and [auth.md](https://agentreadycheckout.com/auth.md) says so.

## Ora on this layer

Ora is a scanner that scores whether an agent can find, read, use and pay a site, and the pay-layer check this site recommends. It is not a row or a column in the matrix and has no profile here. Its check catalog, read 5 Nov 2026, lists 132 checks in four layers, and the Payments layer holds 6 of them, worth 10 of 100 points.

| Ora layer | Points | Checks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 20 | 16 |
| Access | 30 | 42 |
| Usability | 40 | 68 |
| Payments | 10 | 6 |

| Payments check | Points listed by Ora | Tier |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MPP payment protocol | 2 | Required |
| x402 payment protocol | 2 | Required |
| UCP - Universal Commerce Protocol | 3 | Required |
| ACP - Agentic Commerce Protocol | 3 | Required |
| ACP delegate payment | 3 | Recommended |
| AP2 - Agent Payments Protocol | 3 | Recommended |

**The honest note.** Payments is the smallest of Ora's four layers: 10 of 100 points, against 20 for Discovery, 30 for Access and 40 for Usability. Ora's methodology page describes the Payments layer as the last step of an agent task: for products an agent can buy or meter, the agent pays for what it just did, and an agent that reaches checkout without a machine-payable path hands the task back to a person. All six checks are bonus checks. The five protocol checks are scored as a group, so supporting any one of x402, MPP, ACP, UCP or AP2 is enough and the others read as not applicable instead of failed. Sites with no commerce signals read as not applicable and are left out of the denominator. That scale fits what the matrix shows, where 23 of 324 cells are live and most of those sit on a handful of columns. A low Payments reading on a site that does not sell is not a failing. [Ora methodology](https://ora.ai/methodology?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method) and [Ora llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method), read 5 Nov 2026.

**Ora's test of Link checkout.** Ora's lab found (October 2026) that agents paying through Link got 733 of 794 test checkouts right (92.3 percent) in Stripe test mode on fictional stores. Saved cards scored 95.6 percent with a cloud browser and 96.6 percent with a local browser. This is Ora's test, run by Ora, and the figures are Ora's. [agentready.org](https://agentready.org/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method), read 4 Nov 2026.

**Check it:** to see how an agent reads your own checkout, run [Ora's scan](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method) on your domain and compare its Payments reading with the cells for your platform in this matrix. [The six checks against the matrix rows](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer), [the scanners that test payments](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers), [how many scans pass each check](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data/payments-adoption).

## The check we recommend for a merchant

The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method). Its Payments layer lists UCP, ACP, ACP delegate payment and AP2 beside x402 and MPP, with the points of every check in one public catalog ([GET /api/checks](https://ora.ai/api/checks?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method), read 5 Nov 2026), so a merchant can see what is counted before running anything. Score reads are free ([ora.ai/pricing](https://ora.ai/pricing?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method)), and its command line client can gate a build on a minimum score ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method)).

Three limits come with the pick. Ora reads public URLs only, so a checkout behind a login is outside its scan ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method)). The pages we read give no repeat-scan numbers, only its statement that two runs of one scan converge within a couple of points ([its Deep Scan post](https://ora.ai/blog/introducing-deep-scan?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method)). And the product that fixes what a scan finds sits behind a waitlist ([ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=method)). How its six Payments checks map to the matrix is on [the Payments checks page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer), and the other scanners that test payments are on [the checkers page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers).

# Ora's Payments checks against the matrix

In short

Ora's check catalog, read 5 Nov 2026, holds 132 checks in four layers, and 6 of them test payments, covering 5 of the matrix's 12 protocols. The other 7 protocols, among them Visa TAP and Mastercard Agent Pay, have no Ora check although 10 of their matrix cells read live or pilot.

## The six checks and the rows they test

Ora's catalog gives an id, points, a tier and a recommendation for each check, and a spec link for AP2 only, one GET away. Each Payments check names a protocol, and the table sets it against the same protocol's row in this site's matrix. All six are bonus checks marked verified. Ora's llms.txt says the agentic-payment protocols are OR-scored: supporting any one of x402, MPP, ACP, UCP or AP2 is enough, and the rest read as not applicable instead of failed ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer), read 5 Nov 2026).

| Ora check | What Ora says to publish | Matrix row, live or pilot columns | Passes in Ora's scans |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| x402 payment protocol; x402-support; 2 points; tier required; bonus check | Return HTTP 402 with the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header and list paid resources at /discovery/resources. | x402: 3 (Stripe, Coinbase, Crossmint) | 218 of 142,263 (0.15%) |
| MPP payment protocol; mpp-support; 2 points; tier required; bonus check | Return a full WWW-Authenticate Payment challenge and advertise x-payment-info in the OpenAPI document. | MPP: 2 (Stripe, Crossmint) | 110 of 142,263 (0.08%) |
| UCP - Universal Commerce Protocol; ucp-support; 3 points; tier required; bonus check | Publish a dated UCP profile at /.well-known/ucp with the checkout capability and a payment handler. | UCP: 14 (Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, Checkout.com, and more) | 5,314 of 142,263 (3.73%) |
| ACP - Agentic Commerce Protocol; acp-support; 3 points; tier required; bonus check | Publish /.well-known/acp.json and serve POST /checkout_sessions. | ACP: 5 (Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, Checkout.com, and more) | 616 of 142,263 (0.43%) |
| ACP delegate payment; acp-delegate-payment; 3 points; tier recommended; bonus check | Expose POST /agentic_commerce/delegate_payment, which takes a payment method, an allowance and risk signals and returns a vault token. | ACP: 5 (Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, Checkout.com, and more) | 846 of 142,263 (0.59%) |
| AP2 - Agent Payments Protocol; ap2-support; 3 points; tier recommended; bonus check; Spec: ap2-protocol.org | Advertise the AP2 mandate capability in the UCP discovery profile. | AP2: 1 (Checkout.com) | 72 of 142,263 (0.05%) |

## How small the layer is

Payments carries 10 of 100 points, against 20 for Discovery, 30 for Access and 40 for Usability, and holds 6 of the 132 checks. 106 of the 132 checks are marked verified and count toward the score.

Ora's layers by check count and by points. Payments is the smallest on both: 6 checks and 10 points.

Checks and points per layer as a table

| Layer | Checks | Points of 100 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Discovery | 16 | 20 |
| Access | 42 | 30 |
| Usability | 68 | 40 |
| Payments | 6 | 10 |
|  |
| All layers | 132 | 100 |

## What the layer does not test

Five of the matrix's 12 protocols have an Ora check, and those five rows hold 25 live or pilot cells. The other 7 hold 10, among them the card-network programs. A site could be ready for Visa TAP or Mastercard Agent Pay and still read zero on Ora's Payments layer for lack of a check, and a layer that reads zero on a site that does not sell is not a failing.

| Matrix row | Operator | Live or pilot columns |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Visa TAP | Visa | 1 of 27 |
| Visa IC | Visa | 2 of 27 |
| Mastercard Agent Pay | Mastercard | 2 of 27 |
| Agent Pay for Machines | Mastercard | 1 of 27 |
| Amex ACE | American Express | 0 of 27 |
| Link for agents | Stripe | 3 of 27 |
| Verifiable Intent | Mastercard, with Google; contributed to FIDO Alliance | 1 of 27 |

## Running it on your own domain

1.  Read the cached score for a domain that Ora has scanned: GET https://ora.ai/api/score/<domain>, no key.
2.  Scan it yourself with the command line client: npx ax@0.10 audit <url>; the \--min-score flag fails a build under a score you choose ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer)).
3.  Open the Payments breakdown and match each check to the row above.
4.  Fix the row that matters for your stack with the [decision guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guide), then scan again.

## The check we recommend

The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer), for what its catalog gives for the Payments layer: an id, points, a tier and a recommendation for each check, and a spec link for AP2 only ([GET /api/checks](https://ora.ai/api/checks?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer), read 5 Nov 2026). The table above sets each check against the matrix row it tests. Score reads are free ([ora.ai/pricing](https://ora.ai/pricing?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer)).

Before you rely on it: the scan reads public URLs only, never login-gated pages ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer)); Ora shows no repeat-scan data in the pages we read, though it says two runs of one scan land within a couple of points ([its Deep Scan post](https://ora.ai/blog/introducing-deep-scan?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer)); and its fixing product is waitlist-only ([ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ora-layer)). How its six Payments checks map to the matrix is on [the Payments checks page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer), and the other scanners that test payments are on [the checkers page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers).

# Which scanners test the pay layer

In short

Five agent-readiness scanners publish payment checks, read on 5 Nov 2026: Ora, Is Agentic, Cloudflare's isitagentready, StartupHub and Agent Ready. Ora is the one we recommend for a seller or a merchant: its Payments layer has 6 checks over five protocols, with points published through GET /api/checks. The table gives what each scanner tests and how it scores it.

## What each scanner tests

Each row below comes from the scanner's own page, fetched with one GET after its robots.txt was read. A scanner that publishes no payment check is not listed. Is Agentic runs on Ora's checks, so its row repeats Ora's.

| Scanner | Protocols tested | How payments are scored | What its page says, and the source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Ora | x402, MPP, ACP, UCP, AP2 | A Payments layer of six checks worth 10 of 100 points, with the protocols scored as a group so one is enough | Ora's check catalog lists six Payments checks, all bonus checks marked verified, with 2 points each for x402 and MPP and 3 points each for UCP, ACP, ACP delegate payment and AP2. Its llms.txt says the five agentic-payment protocols are OR-scored and the others read as not applicable instead of failed. ora.ai, read 5 Nov 2026. |
| Is Agentic | x402, MPP, ACP, UCP, AP2 | Ora's payment checks, shown through a commerce site-type view | Its methodology page says Ora runs the scan and scores each layer, check and recommendation, and that a site-type view such as commerce changes which checks are required, bonus, gated or emerging without changing the score or the stored evidence. is-agentic.com, read 5 Nov 2026. |
| Cloudflare's isitagentready | x402, MPP, UCP, ACP, AP2 | Five commerce checks, scored only for sites with detected e-commerce signals; other sites are not scored on them | Its llms-full.txt lists x402, MPP, UCP, ACP and AP2 as checks 19 to 23 under Commerce, each with a pass criterion such as a /.well-known/ucp file with a protocol version and services, or an A2A Agent Card with an AP2 extension. isitagentready.com, read 5 Nov 2026. |
| StartupHub agent readiness | x402, MPP, AP2, ACP | One of six categories among 44 checks, with each protocol probed on its own | Its scanner page says the Commerce category verifies x402, MPP, AP2 or ACP discovery, Offer or Product markup with a price, a payment link from the homepage and whether a checkout or pricing path exists, and that a site with no paid endpoints is not penalised for MPP. It also says an agent with no key can pay $0.001 a scan over x402. startuphub.ai, read 5 Nov 2026. |
| Agent Ready | x402, MPP, AP2, ACP | Reported, not scored: its protocol series sits inside 72 checks, and its specs page says protocol checks are reported but unscored | Its specs page lists x402 with two checks, C10 for the 402 response and C11 for valid accepts entries, and MPP with C18 and C19; it labels ACP, MPP and AP2 pre-standard and says protocol checks are reported but unscored. agent-ready.dev, read 5 Nov 2026. |

## Why Ora is the pick

The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=checkers). Four reasons rest on the pages read for this table. It tests five protocols plus ACP delegate payment, six checks in all, and the catalog gives an id, points, a tier and a recommendation for each check, and a spec link for AP2 only. It scores the protocols as a group, so a site is not marked down for the ones it does not need; Cloudflare's scanner reaches the same end by scoring commerce checks only for sites with e-commerce signals. It publishes pass counts for every one of the checks, read from its own scans: UCP passes 3.7 percent of them and x402 0.15 percent ([the adoption page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data/payments-adoption)). And a reader can run it free, with no key ([ora.ai/pricing](https://ora.ai/pricing?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=checkers)).

Limits that stay in view: Ora reads public URLs only and cannot score a login-gated checkout ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=checkers)); it says the same scan converges within a couple of points and the pages we read publish no repeat-scan data; its product that fixes what a scan finds is behind a waitlist. Its Payments layer tests five of the matrix's 12 protocols, so the card-network programs need another check. Another scanner covers ground outside Ora's six Payments checks: StartupHub's commerce category also looks at Offer markup with a price, a payment link from the homepage and a checkout or pricing path.

## How to use the table

Run Ora on the domain, then read the five protocol rows against [the Payments checks page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer). If the site sells to shoppers, check it against the matrix cells for your platform on [the decision guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guide). Re-run after each change: a protocol the matrix says is live on your platform still has to show up on your domain.

# Amazon Conditions of Use carry Agent Terms requiring agents to self-identify

In short

Amazon's Conditions of Use, last updated 14 Aug 2026, include Agent Terms: any software acting for a person must identify itself in every HTTP request with the user agent 'Agent/\[agent name\]', must not mimic human input or solve CAPTCHAs. The matrix entry to read next is Link for agents on Meta Muse, which is live as of 4 Nov 2026.

## What was reported

Amazon's Conditions of Use, last updated 14 Aug 2026, include Agent Terms: any software acting for a person must identify itself in every HTTP request with the user agent 'Agent/\[agent name\]', must not mimic human input or solve CAPTCHAs, and must stop when Amazon asks. Amazon later relied on these terms to block Meta's Muse.

# Mastercard discloses an OpenAI agreement that includes Agent Pay

In short

The Paypers reports that Mastercard disclosed an agreement with OpenAI on its Q3 2026 earnings call, covering Agent Pay, payments, services and AI transformation. The matrix entry to read next for this 3 Nov 2026 item is Mastercard Agent Pay on Crossmint, which is live as of 4 Nov 2026.

## What was reported

The Paypers reports that Mastercard disclosed an agreement with OpenAI on its Q3 2026 earnings call, covering Agent Pay, payments, services and AI transformation.

From Ora's paid-capability index, read 5 Nov 2026

# Pay-per-call endpoints agents can buy today

In short

Ora's index lists 9,977 pay-per-call endpoints on 1,586 hosts, read 5 Nov 2026, and every entry carries the x402 protocol tag. The median price is $0.01 a call and 95.9 percent settle on Base. Ora labels 3,155 entries healthy, 3,937 degraded and 2,885 unverified.

## What the index holds

Ora publishes one catalog document that lists what it has indexed for agents, and 65.7 percent of its entries are paid capabilities. Ora's own description is pay-per-call API endpoints with per-call USD prices and no API key, liveness-checked by rolling unpaid 402 probes ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall), read 5 Nov 2026). This site read the catalog with one GET and did not call, pay or probe any endpoint in it.

| Measure | Value | How it is counted |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Catalog entries, all types | 15,194 | Every entry in the catalog document |
| Entries typed as paid capabilities | 9,977 (65.7%) | Type application/vnd.ora.paid-capability+json |
| Hosts | 1,586 | Distinct host names in the endpoint URLs |
| Entries per host | 6.3 on average, 32 at most | Mean and largest host |
| Entries with a price | 9,935 | 42 entries carry no price tag |
| Median price per call | $0.01 | Nearest-rank median of the priced entries, in USD |
| Methods | GET 6,120, POST 3,857 | As listed in each entry |
| Last updated, per the entries | 23 Oct 2026 and 24 Oct 2026 | The updatedAt field of each entry |

## What a call costs

9,935 entries carry a price. The median is $0.01, and 59.7 percent of priced entries ask $0.01 or less. [The prices page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/prices) has the percentiles and the round figures sellers choose.

-   healthy
-   degraded
-   unverified

Entries per price band, coloured by Ora's label. 5,026 entries sit between $0.001 and $0.01.

Counts per price band as a table

| Price band | Entries | Healthy | Share healthy | Degraded | Unverified |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $0.001 or less | 909 | 257 | 28.3% | 390 | 262 |

| Above $0.005 to $0.01 | 2,368 | 584 | 24.7% | 1,114 | 670 |
| Above $0.01 to $0.05 | 2,255 | 696 | 30.9% | 882 | 677 |
| Above $0.05 to $0.10 | 764 | 494 | 64.7% | 146 | 124 |
| Above $0.10 to $1 | 887 | 438 | 49.4% | 193 | 256 |

|  |
| All priced entries | 9,935 | 3,149 | 31.7% | 3,930 | 2,856 |

## Which networks they settle on

95.9 percent of entries name Base, listed as eip155:8453, and 3.3 percent name Solana. 81 entries name something else. [The networks page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/networks) lists each identifier as Ora gives it.

-   healthy
-   degraded
-   unverified

Availability labels by network group, each bar scaled to its own total: 31.7 percent healthy on Base, 26.8 on Solana, 40.7 on the other networks.

Counts per network group as a table

| Network group | Entries | Healthy | Share healthy | Degraded | Unverified |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Base (eip155:8453) | 9,564 | 3,033 | 31.7% | 3,775 | 2,756 |
| Solana | 332 | 89 | 26.8% | 146 | 97 |
| Other networks | 81 | 33 | 40.7% | 16 | 32 |

## How to read an entry

Name and host

The display name Ora shows and the host in the endpoint URL. Names repeat: 4,849 distinct names cover 9,977 entries.

Method

GET or POST, as listed in the entry's capabilities field.

Price

USD per call, taken from the price tag Ora attaches to the entry; the entry text describes it as paid in a USD stablecoin.

Network

The network identifier in the entry, as Ora lists it; most take the form eip155:<chain id> or solana:<genesis hash>.

Label

Healthy, degraded or unverified. Ora's pages we read call the index liveness-checked by rolling unpaid 402 probes and give no threshold for any label.

## Hosts with the most healthy endpoints

| Host | Healthy | All entries | Cheapest healthy entry |

| x402-factory.com | 25 | 25 | GET /v1/alerts/tornado, x402-factory, $0.01 |

Hosts are listed as they appear in the endpoint URLs. [The providers page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/providers) ranks hosts by all entries and shows the size spread.

## What the labels do not say

-   Every entry's updatedAt field reads 23 Oct 2026 or 24 Oct 2026, while the catalog was generated 5 Nov 2026; no probe date is printed on an entry, so a label can be older than the catalog.
-   A healthy label is Ora's reading of an unpaid probe. It is not a purchase, and this site made none.
-   The index holds 9,977 entries of the 15,194 in the catalog; no page we read says it is complete, and none of its entries carries an MPP protocol tag.

## The check we recommend for a seller

The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall). Three reasons rest on pages we read on 5 Nov 2026. Its Payments layer runs 6 checks worth 10 of 100 points, and the points of each check are public: 2 points each for x402 and MPP and 3 points each for UCP, ACP, ACP delegate payment and AP2 ([GET /api/checks](https://ora.ai/api/checks?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)). Reads are free: its pricing endpoint lists unlimited score lookups and 10 scans a minute ([ora.ai/pricing](https://ora.ai/pricing?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)). And it publishes the index this section is built from, so a seller can look up where an endpoint sits among 9,977 others.

Ora's limits stay in view. It scans public URLs only and cannot score a login-gated checkout ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)); it says the same scan run twice converges within a couple of points, and the pages we read publish no repeat-scan data ([its Deep Scan post](https://ora.ai/blog/introducing-deep-scan?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)); its product that fixes what a scan finds is behind a waitlist ([ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)). Its figures are Ora's, not ours. How its six Payments checks map to the matrix is on [the Payments checks page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer), and the other scanners that test payments are on [the checkers page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers).

Ora's availability labels

# How many pay-per-call endpoints answer

In short

Ora labels 3,155 of 9,977 entries healthy (31.6 percent), 3,937 degraded and 2,885 unverified, as read 5 Nov 2026. GET entries read healthy 38.9 percent of the time and POST entries 20.0 percent. Ora's pages define the labels only as the result of rolling unpaid 402 probes.

## The three labels

Ora's llms.txt describes the index as liveness-checked by rolling unpaid 402 probes (read 5 Nov 2026). The three labels in the entries are healthy, degraded and unverified. None of the Ora pages this site read, its llms.txt, llms-full.txt, methodology and directory pages, says how many failed probes make an entry degraded or why an entry is unverified, so this page counts the labels and does not interpret them.

| Label | Entries | Share |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Healthy | 3,155 | 31.6% |
| Degraded | 3,937 | 39.5% |
| Unverified | 2,885 | 28.9% |
|  |
| All entries | 9,977 | 100.0% |

## Where the labels differ

Method and price both split the labels. 38.9 percent of GET entries read healthy against 20.0 percent of POST entries. By price the spread is wider and not in a straight line: the band above $0.05 to $0.10 reads healthy 64.7 percent of the time, the band above $0.001 to $0.005 24.2 percent. This page does not say why.

-   healthy
-   degraded
-   unverified

Share of entries by label for each method and price band. Healthy is highest, at 64.7 percent, in the band above $0.05 to $0.10.

Counts as a table

| Group | Entries | Healthy | Share healthy | Degraded | Unverified |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| GET | 6,120 | 2,383 | 38.9% | 2,174 | 1,563 |
| POST | 3,857 | 772 | 20.0% | 1,763 | 1,322 |
| $0.001 or less | 909 | 257 | 28.3% | 390 | 262 |
| Above $0.001 to $0.005 | 2,658 | 644 | 24.2% | 1,178 | 836 |
| Above $0.005 to $0.01 | 2,368 | 584 | 24.7% | 1,114 | 670 |
| Above $0.01 to $0.05 | 2,255 | 696 | 30.9% | 882 | 677 |
| Above $0.05 to $0.10 | 764 | 494 | 64.7% | 146 | 124 |
| Above $0.10 to $1 | 887 | 438 | 49.4% | 193 | 256 |
| Above $1 | 94 | 36 | 38.3% | 27 | 31 |

## By host size

The share of healthy entries runs from 22.5 percent for hosts listing 1 entry to 36.7 percent for hosts listing 6 to 20 entries, when entries are grouped by the size of their host.

| Host size | Entries | Healthy | Share healthy | Degraded | Unverified |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 entry | 559 | 126 | 22.5% | 289 | 144 |
| 2 to 5 entries | 1,518 | 365 | 24.0% | 685 | 468 |
| 6 to 20 entries | 3,887 | 1,428 | 36.7% | 1,296 | 1,163 |
| 21 or more entries | 4,013 | 1,236 | 30.8% | 1,667 | 1,110 |

## How current the labels are

Every entry's updatedAt field is 23 Oct 2026 (215 entries) or 24 Oct 2026 (9,762 entries), and the catalog was generated 5 Nov 2026 at 18:00 UTC. An entry prints no probe date, so a label can be up to 13 days older than the catalog. Read the same file again to see them move; the build script that does so is scripts/ora-read.mjs.

Tags in Ora's index

# x402 endpoints by topic tag

In short

Ora's index carries 9,774 distinct topic tags besides x402, and the most common is crypto, on 752 of 9,977 entries, followed by base, finance, data and market-data. Tags are free text from each listing and overlap, so the counts do not add up to 9,977. The page lists the thirty most common, with the share Ora labels healthy.

## What a tag is here

Every entry in the index carries a protocol tag, a network tag, a price tag and an availability tag. The rest are the topic tags the listing supplied, about 3.7 per entry. They are not a fixed taxonomy: 9,774 different strings appear, most of them once or twice. The tag x402 itself appears on 600 entries and is left out of the counts below because every entry is already an x402 entry.

## The twenty most common tags, and the thirty in numbers

## What the counts tell a seller

Finance and market data are common tags: finance (291), market-data (241), defi (226), trading (156) are all among the twenty most common. So are the checks on counterparties and code: compliance (239), security (232), verification (131). A seller in a tag with hundreds of entries is pricing against hundreds of listings; the median for finance is $0.005 and for data $0.01. [The pricing guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/price-a-call) sets those figures against the fee floors.

Networks in Ora's index

# Which networks x402 endpoints settle on

In short

9,564 of 9,977 entries in Ora's index name Base, listed as eip155:8453, and 332 name Solana; 81 name another network. 11 hosts list endpoints on more than one network. Ora labels 31.7 percent of Base entries healthy and 26.8 percent of Solana entries, as read 5 Nov 2026.

## The networks in the index

Every entry names exactly one network. Base, listed as the CAIP-2 identifier eip155:8453, takes 95.9 percent, Solana 3.3 percent, and 6 further identifiers share the remaining 81 entries. 40 of those are listed as the plain word base, separate from eip155:8453, and this page keeps them apart.

-   healthy
-   degraded
-   unverified

Each bar is one network identifier scaled to its own total; the counts are in the table. The identifiers are Ora's, not mapped by this site.

## What the specification allows

The index is narrower than the protocol. The spec defines exact, upto, auth-capture and batch-settlement schemes; the exact scheme covers EVM, Solana, Algorand, Aptos, Canton, Cardano, Hedera, NEAR, Starknet, Stellar, Sui, TON, XRPL and others. [github.com](https://github.com/x402-foundation/x402), read 4 Nov 2026.

-   Coinbase's CDP facilitator says it has processed more than 100 million x402 payments and $28 million in volume across Base and Solana. [docs.cdp.coinbase.com](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/core-concepts/facilitator), read 4 Nov 2026.Vendor claim

A seller choosing a network is choosing where its buyers hold funds and which facilitator settles.

Seller guide

# How to price a pay-per-call endpoint

In short

A per-call price has to clear the fee floor: Coinbase's facilitator charges $0.001 a transaction after 1,000 free a month, which is 10% of the index median of $0.01. 909 entries in Ora's index ask exactly $0.001, read 5 Nov 2026. This guide sets the index spread against the published fee lines.

## Start from what sellers ask

In Ora's index, read 5 Nov 2026, a quarter of priced entries ask $0.005 or less, the median asks $0.01, and a tenth ask more than $0.10. $0.01, $0.005 and $0.001 are the three most common exact prices. [The prices page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/prices) has the full spread.

## Know the floors

-   Coinbase charges nothing for the first 1,000 onchain facilitator transactions a month, then $0.001 each; verification is free. [docs.cdp.coinbase.com](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/core-concepts/facilitator), read 4 Nov 2026.Published pricing
-   Stripe charges 1.5 percent for stablecoin payments and $0.15 per SPT. [stripe.com](https://stripe.com/pricing), read 4 Nov 2026.Published pricing
-   Stripe's machine payments page sets minimums of $0.50 for a card payment through a shared payment token and 0.01 USDC for stablecoins [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/machine.md), read 4 Nov 2026.Published pricing
-   x402.org lists zero protocol fees [x402.org](https://www.x402.org/), read 4 Nov 2026.Published pricing

## The arithmetic

Take the lines above at face value and the floor is plain. At $0.001 a call a $0.001 facilitator fee is all of the price once the free 1,000 a month are used; at the median of $0.01 it is 10%. A seller on the stablecoin path through Stripe pays 1.5 percent, which is under a thousandth of a dollar at any price below $0.06. The $0.15 per-token fee and the $0.50 card minimum mean the card path only suits calls priced well above the index median.

| Price per call | A $0.001 fee as a share of the price | 1.5% of the price, in dollars |
| --- | --- | --- |
| $0.001 | 100% | $0.000015 |
| $0.005 | 20% | $0.000075 |
| $0.01 | 10% | $0.00015 |
| $0.05 | 2% | $0.00075 |
| $0.10 | 1% | $0.0015 |

## Price by tag

Medians in the index sit at $0.01 for most of the biggest tags, and lower for finance ($0.005) and onchain ($0.005). One scanner is in the index too: Agent Ready lists an x402 scan at $0.02 a call. The tags below are the eight most common.

| Tag | Entries | Median price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| crypto | 752 | $0.01 |
| base | 338 | $0.01 |
| finance | 291 | $0.005 |
| data | 266 | $0.01 |
| market-data | 241 | $0.01 |
| compliance | 239 | $0.01 |
| security | 232 | $0.01 |
| defi | 226 | $0.01 |

## Before you set the number

1.  Find the entries in your tag in [the tags page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/by-tag) and read the median and the spread.
2.  Subtract the fee line for your rail from your intended price; if nothing is left at the median, price higher.
3.  Decide what buyers get if a call fails: [the chargebacks guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guides/chargebacks-when-an-agent-bought) covers disputes when an agent bought.
4.  Publish the price where an agent can read it, and scan the domain again after the change.

## The check we recommend for a seller

The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall). After you change a price or a payment header, run its scan again. For the x402 check Ora's catalog says to return the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header and list paid resources at /discovery/resources, and for MPP to return a full WWW-Authenticate Payment challenge and advertise x-payment-info in the OpenAPI document ([GET /api/checks](https://ora.ai/api/checks?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall), read 5 Nov 2026). Its command line client takes a --min-score flag that fails a build under a score you set ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)).

Before you rely on it: the scan reads public URLs only, never login-gated pages ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)); Ora shows no repeat-scan data in the pages we read, though it says two runs of one scan land within a couple of points ([its Deep Scan post](https://ora.ai/blog/introducing-deep-scan?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)); and its fixing product is waitlist-only ([ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)). How its six Payments checks map to the matrix is on [the Payments checks page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer), and the other scanners that test payments are on [the checkers page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers).

Prices in Ora's index

# What pay-per-call endpoints charge per call

In short

Of 9,935 priced entries in Ora's index, read 5 Nov 2026, the median asks $0.01 a call, a quarter ask $0.005 or less and nine in ten ask $0.10 or less. Prices cluster at round figures: $0.01 appears 2,061 times, then $0.005 and $0.001. 42 entries show no price.

## The spread

The index prices are small. The lowest is $0.001 and the median $0.01, while the highest is $100; the mean is $0.12, pulled up by a few high prices, so the percentiles are the fairer guide. Percentiles use the nearest-rank rule on the 9,935 entries that carry a price.

| Point in the spread | Price per call |
| --- | --- |
| Lowest | $0.001 |
| 10th percentile | $0.002 |
| 25th percentile | $0.005 |
| Median | $0.01 |
| 75th percentile | $0.0498 |
| 90th percentile | $0.10 |
| 99th percentile | $1 |
| Highest | $100 |

## Price bands

Priced entries per band. The two bands between $0.001 and $0.01 hold 50.6 percent of them.

Entries per band as a table

## Round figures

Sellers pick round numbers. $0.01 is the most common exact price with 2,061 entries, $0.005 follows with 1,097 and $0.001, the lowest price in the index, with 909. That last figure is also the per-transaction price Coinbase publishes for its facilitator after the first 1,000 a month ([Coinbase CDP docs](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/core-concepts/facilitator), read 4 Nov 2026), which the [pricing guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/price-a-call) works through.

The twelve price points that appear most often cover 82.5 percent of priced entries.

## Reading a listed price

A price here is the number Ora attaches to an entry, which the entry text gives as USD paid in a stablecoin. It is a listing, not a receipt: this site paid for nothing and called no endpoint. A seller that changes its price after Ora reads it will show the old figure until Ora reads again; every entry's updatedAt field is 23 Oct 2026 or 24 Oct 2026.

Hosts in Ora's index

# Who runs the most pay-per-call endpoints

In short

1,586 hosts list endpoints in Ora's index, read 5 Nov 2026: 559 list one entry and the largest lists 32. The ten biggest hosts hold 2.7 percent of entries, so the market is spread thin. 579 hosts have at least one entry that Ora labels healthy.

## How big the hosts are

The index is a long tail. 559 hosts, 35.2 percent, list a single entry, and the largest host lists 32. No host lists more than that, and the pages we read state no per-host limit.

Hosts per size band. 559 hosts list one entry each; 164 list between 21 and 32.

Hosts per size band as a table

| Host size | Hosts | Entries | Share of entries |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 entry | 559 | 559 | 5.6% |
| 2 to 5 entries | 507 | 1,518 | 15.2% |
| 6 to 20 entries | 356 | 3,887 | 39.0% |

Hosts are shown as they appear in the endpoint URLs. A large host is not a better one: the label counts are Ora's probes, not a rating.

## What this means for a buyer

No host holds more than 0.3 percent of entries and the ten biggest hold 2.7 percent, so a buyer looking for a kind of data meets many small sellers. Only 579 of 1,586 hosts have an entry labelled healthy. A buyer comparing sellers needs the price, the method and the label together, which the [index summary](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call) and [the availability page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/availability) lay out.

# x402 or MPP for an API seller

In short

For an API seller the two HTTP 402 protocols differ on disputes, fees and buyers: x402 settles onchain with no chargeback, MPP can carry card credentials, and Ora's index holds 9,977 x402 entries and none with an MPP protocol tag. Ora's Payments layer scores each at 2 points.

## The two protocols side by side

Rows are the seven merchant-readiness rows used on every protocol profile, from the [x402](https://agentreadycheckout.com/protocols/x402) and [MPP](https://agentreadycheckout.com/protocols/mpp) profiles, each with its source and a read date of 4 Nov 2026.

| Row | x402 | MPP |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Specification public | Yes. Spec v1 and v2 public on GitHub. github.com | Yes. Protocol documented at mpp.dev with open-source code. mpp.dev |
| Reference implementation | Yes. TypeScript, Python and Go SDKs; Coinbase CDP facilitator. github.com | Yes. Stripe and Tempo SDKs; Stripe machine payments docs. docs.stripe.com |
| Live surfaces | API and agent tools. Used for pay-per-call APIs; no consumer shopping surface uses it for retail checkout. x402.org | API and agent tools. Used for pay-per-call services; no consumer shopping surface uses it. mpp.dev |
| Processor support | Yes. Stripe accepts x402 (USDC on Base); Coinbase runs a facilitator. docs.stripe.com | Yes. Stripe live; Visa Connect in pilot. docs.stripe.com |
| Merchant of record | Seller. The server operator receives payment directly; no card-network merchant concept applies to stablecoin settlement. x402.org | Seller. The service seller receives payment; card payments follow the card rules. mpp.dev |
| Dispute rules | None. Onchain settlement is final; no chargeback mechanism in the spec. github.com | Rail-dependent. Card credentials carry card dispute rights; stablecoin settlement does not. mpp.dev |
| Cost | Network fees only. Zero protocol fees; facilitator fees vary (Coinbase $0.001 after 1,000 a month). docs.cdp.coinbase.com | Rail fees. Stripe charges 1.5 percent for stablecoin payments and $0.15 per SPT. stripe.com |

## Where the buyers are

Ora's index lists 9,977 pay-per-call endpoints, read 5 Nov 2026, and every one carries the protocol tag x402; none carries an MPP protocol tag. That says where sellers have listed themselves with Ora, not where agents spend. On the card side, Visa Intelligent Commerce Connect accepts MPP among its four protocols, in pilot since April 2026. [visa.co.uk](https://www.visa.co.uk/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.3442048.html), read 4 Nov 2026. Mastercard Agent Pay for Machines builds on x402, per Mastercard's 20 Oct 2026 release. 3 of the 27 matrix columns read live or pilot for x402 and 2 for MPP.

## Fees a seller meets

Coinbase charges nothing for the first 1,000 onchain facilitator transactions a month, then $0.001 each; verification is free. [docs.cdp.coinbase.com](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/core-concepts/facilitator), read 4 Nov 2026. Stripe's machine payments page sets minimums for MPP of $0.50 for a card payment through a shared payment token and 0.01 USDC for stablecoins ([Stripe docs](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/machine.md), read 4 Nov 2026), so a seller who prices below $0.50 a call cannot take the card path through Stripe. [The pricing guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/pay-per-call/price-a-call) turns these lines into arithmetic.

## Which one, by seller

-   **Buyers hold stablecoins on Base or Solana.** Use x402. It is what 9,977 listings use, it has no protocol fee, and the facilitator cost is published. You accept that settlement is final.
-   **Buyers pay by card and want dispute rights.** Use MPP through Stripe, with the card minimum above. The rubric reads dispute rules as rail-dependent: card credentials keep card rights, stablecoin settlement does not.
-   **You sell a metered or recurring service.** MPP names session and subscription intents in its specification; x402's specification lists exact, upto, auth-capture and batch-settlement schemes. Read both before you pick.
-   **You cannot choose.** Accept both. Ora counts either as enough for its Payments layer, because the five protocol checks are scored as a group.

These are our readings of the sources above, not a quote from either protocol's authors.

## The check we recommend for a seller

The pay-layer check we recommend is [Ora](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall). For a seller weighing x402 against MPP, one fact in its catalog settles how each is scored: both carry 2 points, and each reads as not applicable when another payment protocol is detected, because supporting any one is enough ([GET /api/checks](https://ora.ai/api/checks?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall), read 5 Nov 2026). Ora also publishes the index this guide uses, and score reads cost nothing ([ora.ai/pricing](https://ora.ai/pricing?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)).

Three limits come with the pick. Ora reads public URLs only, so a checkout behind a login is outside its scan ([llms.txt](https://ora.ai/llms.txt?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)). The pages we read give no repeat-scan numbers, only its statement that two runs of one scan converge within a couple of points ([its Deep Scan post](https://ora.ai/blog/introducing-deep-scan?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)). And the product that fixes what a scan finds sits behind a waitlist ([ora.ai](https://ora.ai/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=paycall)). How its six Payments checks map to the matrix is on [the Payments checks page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/ora-payments-layer), and the other scanners that test payments are on [the checkers page](https://agentreadycheckout.com/method/pay-layer-checkers).

## What Shopify does not do

-   No published per-order rate for the Agentic plan on its own page (2026-11-04).
-   ChatGPT purchases run on the merchant's Shopify checkout in an in-app browser, not an agent-native ACP checkout.
-   Shop MCP has no order webhooks at launch; agents poll get\_checkout.

## Sourced facts

-   Agentic Storefronts give merchants access to ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, AI Mode in Google Search and the Gemini app, managed from the Shopify Admin; merchants remain merchant of record. [shopify.com](https://shopify.com/news/agentic-commerce-momentum), read 4 Nov 2026.Vendor claim
-   In ChatGPT, shoppers check out in an in-app browser on the merchant's own Shopify checkout (a separate tab on desktop), with ChatGPT referral attribution on the order, rather than a native agent-held checkout. [shopify.com](https://shopify.com/news/agentic-commerce-momentum), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Shopify states selling in ChatGPT through Agentic Storefronts carries no transaction fees beyond standard processing rates. [shopify.com](https://shopify.com/news/agentic-commerce-momentum), read 4 Nov 2026.Vendor claim

-   Spring '26 Edition developer post: building on Shopify's agentic commerce layer no longer requires approval; developers register an agent profile in the Developer Dashboard and call the public MCP endpoint; Catalog access needs only an API key. [shopify.com](https://shopify.com/news/spring-26-edition-dev), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Agent profiles are hosted at a well-known URL and referenced on every UCP request; Shopify uses them to verify agents and set rate limits and tool access, with higher trust tiers getting broader access. [shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/agents), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Storefront MCP get\_cart and update\_cart tools on /api/mcp were deprecated in favour of UCP Cart MCP at /api/ucp/mcp, maintained until 2026-08-31. [shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/changelog/storefront-mcp-cart-tools-are-being-deprecated-in-favour-of-ucp-cart-mcp), read 4 Nov 2026.

# Privacy

## What this site collects

The pages set no cookies and load no third-party scripts, fonts or trackers. The only script is the small one on the decision guide, and it runs in your browser without sending your choices anywhere.

The host serves the site and, like any web host, may keep standard server logs: the address requested, the time, the user agent and the network address. These are used for security and capacity and are not combined with anything else. The host may also count page views in aggregate with a privacy-light counter that sets no cookie.

## Email

If you write to [editor@agentreadycheckout.com](mailto:editor@agentreadycheckout.com), we keep the message to answer it and to log any correction it leads to. We do not add you to a list, and we do not share the message outside the editorial team.

## Your choices

To ask what we hold about you, or to have a message deleted, email the same address. Crawlers and agents are welcome and are described in [robots.txt](https://agentreadycheckout.com/robots.txt).

## What ACP does not do

-   Does not make ChatGPT a checkout surface today: OpenAI moved purchases back to merchant sites on 24 Mar 2026.
-   Does not define dispute or chargeback handling; those stay with the card network and the merchant.
-   Does not identify or authenticate the agent at the HTTP layer; that is Web Bot Auth, TAP or Agent Pay territory.

## Sourced facts

-   Stripe and OpenAI released ACP on 29 Sep 2025 as an open, Apache 2.0 licensed standard, alongside Instant Checkout in ChatGPT. [stripe.com](https://stripe.com/blog/developing-an-open-standard-for-agentic-commerce), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   The GitHub MAINTAINERS file lists OpenAI, Stripe and Meta as lead maintainers; Meta was added by the commit "ADMIN: Add Meta as TSC member (#236)" on 24 Apr 2026. [github.com](https://github.com/agentic-commerce-protocol/agentic-commerce-protocol/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   The README still carries the status badge "Beta" and says the specification is maintained by OpenAI and Stripe, so the repository text and the MAINTAINERS file disagree on the maintainer list. [github.com](https://github.com/agentic-commerce-protocol/agentic-commerce-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   ACP uses date-based versions: 2025-09-29 (initial), 2025-12-12 (fulfillment), 2026-01-16 (capability negotiation), 2026-01-30 (extensions, discounts, payment handlers) and 2026-04-17 (cart, feed, orders, authentication and MCP). [github.com](https://github.com/agentic-commerce-protocol/agentic-commerce-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.

## What AP2 does not do

-   Does not carry the payment itself: it wraps cards, x402 or other rails.
-   Does not assign chargeback liability; it supplies evidence.
-   Has no confirmed live consumer surface as of 4 Nov 2026.

## Sourced facts

-   Google announced AP2 on 16 Sep 2025 with more than 60 collaborating organisations, as an extension usable with A2A and MCP. [cloud.google.com](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/announcing-agents-to-payments-ap2-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.

-   The current AP2 site defines a Checkout Mandate (items and purchase details, shared with the merchant) and a Payment Mandate (authorisation against an instrument, shared with credential provider, network and processor), each with open and closed stages. [ap2-protocol.org](https://ap2-protocol.org/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   The v0.1 launch described Intent, Cart and Payment mandates; the v0.2 site uses Checkout and Payment mandates, so older guides use different names. [cloud.google.com](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/announcing-agents-to-payments-ap2-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   AP2 says it provides "a non-repudiable, cryptographic audit trail for every transaction, aiding in dispute resolution" but does not assign liability. [ap2-protocol.org](https://ap2-protocol.org/), read 4 Nov 2026.

## What MPP does not do

-   Is not a retail cart protocol.
-   Has no standards-body home: governed by its authors per mpp.dev.
-   Does not remove card dispute rights when a card credential is used.

## Sourced facts

-   mpp.dev says MPP is "co-authored by Tempo and Stripe" and standardises HTTP 402 with Challenges, Credentials and a Payment-Receipt header. [mpp.dev](https://mpp.dev/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   MPP intents are charge (one-time), session (metered) and subscription (recurring); transports map to HTTP headers, JSON-RPC (MCP) and WebSocket. [mpp.dev](https://mpp.dev/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Payment methods listed include Tempo stablecoins, Stripe Shared Payment Tokens, cards via encrypted network tokens, and Lightning BOLT11 invoices. [mpp.dev](https://mpp.dev/), read 4 Nov 2026.

-   Stripe machine payments accept MPP with cards via SPT, USDC.e on Tempo and USDC on Solana; minimums are $0.50 for card SPT payments and 0.01 USDC for stablecoins. [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/machine.md), read 4 Nov 2026.

Protocol profile

# Stripe Link for agents (Link Agent Wallet)

In short

Stripe's consumer wallet exposed to agents: the agent creates a spend request, the user approves it, and Link returns a one-time credential or a saved Link payment at Link merchants; Meta Muse uses it. For Link for agents, merchant of record is merchant and dispute rules are card rules plus Link protections. Announced but not yet live: Salesforce CC.

## What Link for agents does not do

-   Is not an open protocol.
-   Does not serve consumers outside the US and Canada for agent payments.
-   Did not beat saved cards in Ora's October 2026 test.

## Sourced facts

-   Link Agent Wallet lets an agent create a spend request; the customer approves it and Link returns a one-time-use payment credential. [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/agentic-commerce/agents/link-agent-wallet), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Agent payments are available to US and Canadian customers; the agent business and the sellers can be elsewhere. [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/agentic-commerce/agents/link-agent-wallet), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Link Agent Wallet uses api.link.com with a per-customer OAuth token, not a Stripe API key; Stripe ships link-cli and TypeScript, Go and Python SDKs. [docs.stripe.com](https://docs.stripe.com/agentic-commerce/agents/link-agent-wallet), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   On 8 Sep 2026 Stripe said Meta's Muse checks out with Link at more than 1 million Link-accepting businesses and gets a single-use virtual card elsewhere; Link has over 300 million users. [stripe.com](https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/stripe-helps-meta-muse-shop-with-link), read 4 Nov 2026.Vendor claim
-   Meta says Muse is "the first AI agent covered by Link's purchase protections". [about.fb.com](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/), read 4 Nov 2026.Vendor claim
-   Ora's lab found (October 2026) that agents paying through Link got 733 of 794 test checkouts right (92.3 percent) in Stripe test mode on fictional stores; saved cards scored 95.6 percent (cloud browser) and 96.6 percent (local browser). [agentready.org](https://agentready.org/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=profile), read 4 Nov 2026.Vendor claim
-   In the same Ora test, the most common Link miss (27 of 61 failures) was an agent that asked the person to approve and then stopped. [agentready.org](https://agentready.org/?utm_source=agentreadycheckout.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=profile), read 4 Nov 2026.Vendor claim

## What UCP does not do

-   Does not move funds: payment runs through the merchant PSP via a payment handler.
-   Does not use network agentic tokens on Google today: the help page says standard FPANs.
-   Does not guarantee access: Google and Microsoft gate merchants by interest form, country and feed quality.

Protocol profile

# Visa Trusted Agent Protocol (TAP)

In short

Visa's agent identity scheme: an agent signs each HTTP request with HTTP Message Signatures (Web Bot Auth) so a merchant or its CDN can tell a registered agent from a bot and receive consented user and payment identifiers. For Visa TAP, merchant of record is n/a and dispute rules are none in spec.

## What Visa TAP does not do

-   Does not move money or tokenise a card by itself.
-   Does not replace bot management; it gives the WAF a verifiable identity to allow.
-   Does not decide liability.

## Sourced facts

-   Visa announced Trusted Agent Protocol on 14 Oct 2025, developed with Cloudflare, available in the Visa Developer Center and on GitHub. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.releaseId.21716.html), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Visa says TAP is built on the HTTP Message Signature standard and aligned with the IETF Web Bot Auth work, using agent-specific cryptographic signatures. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.releaseId.21716.html), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Early feedback partners named by Visa: Adyen, Ant International, Checkout.com, Coinbase, CyberSource, Elavon, Fiserv, Microsoft, Nuvei, Shopify, Stripe and Worldpay. [usa.visa.com](https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.releaseId.21716.html), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   The TAP README says the signature carries timestamps, a session identifier, key identifier and algorithm, is bound to the merchant domain and operation (browsing or payment), and can pass consented identifiers such as Payment Account References. [github.com](https://github.com/visa/trusted-agent-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Cloudflare wrote on 24 Oct 2025 that both TAP and Mastercard Agent Pay use Web Bot Auth as the agent authentication layer, and that merchants can rely on Cloudflare to validate signatures (Signature-Input and Signature headers, Ed25519). [blog.cloudflare.com](https://blog.cloudflare.com/secure-agentic-commerce/), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   The visa/trusted-agent-protocol repository was last pushed on 28 Oct 2025, so the public reference code has not moved in a year. [github.com](https://github.com/visa/trusted-agent-protocol), read 4 Nov 2026.
-   Visa Intelligent Commerce Connect accepts TAP alongside MPP, ACP and UCP, in pilot since April 2026. [visa.co.uk](https://www.visa.co.uk/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.3442048.html), read 4 Nov 2026.

Protocol profile

# x402

In short

An HTTP 402 payment protocol: a server answers 402 with payment requirements, the client pays (mostly stablecoins on EVM chains and Solana, Lightning since Sep 2026) and retries; governed by the x402 Foundation. For x402, merchant of record is seller and dispute rules are none. Announced but not yet live: Adyen. One limit: does not offer chargebacks on stablecoin payments.

# Liability and rules tracker for agent payments | Agent Ready Checkout

> A dated table of card-network and framework changes that touch agent-initiated payments, with the document, page reference and who carries the dispute.

Source: https://agentreadycheckout.com/rules
Site: Agent Ready Checkout

# Liability and rules tracker

In short

23 dated rows from 5 sources that bear on agent-initiated payments, each with the primary document, the page or section, and a plain reading of who carries the dispute. The latest row is dated 24 Oct 2026. No card network has added an agent-specific dispute reason code in the documents we read.

## How to read the tracker

Each row is a change in a rulebook, a published framework or a court decision that touches a payment an agent starts. The dispute column is our plain reading of where the loss lands, written from the document and its page reference. It is not legal advice and it is not the network's own summary. Where the public text of a network says nothing, the row says so. The [chargebacks guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guides/chargebacks-when-an-agent-bought) and the [merchant of record guide](https://agentreadycheckout.com/guides/who-is-merchant-of-record) work through the practical side. Download: [CSV](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data/liability-rules-tracker-2026-11-04.csv), [JSON](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data/liability-rules-tracker-2026-11-04.json).

## Visa

| Date | Change | Document and page | Who carries the dispute |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 24 Oct 2026 | Dispute Condition 10.4 (Other Fraud, Card-Absent) invalid-dispute evidence: matching customer account or login IDs now explicitly include login IDs for an Agentic Payment Provider as well as the merchant site; the section was last updated in the October 2026 edition. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 11.8.5.3, ID# 0030254 (Last Updated Oct 2026), p. 710; related response rules p. 715 | Merchant still carries a 10.4 fraud dispute, but can defeat it by matching the agent provider login ID plus IP or device data from prior undisputed orders. |
| 24 Oct 2026 | The October 2026 Summary of Changes lists no new agent-specific dispute condition; changes to 10.4 in this edition concern Address Verification Service liability shifts in selected countries (24 Oct 2026 and 24 Apr 2027). | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Summary of Changes, pp. 43-69 (10.4 entries at pp. 46 and 52) | No agent reason code exists: agent purchases dispute under 10.4 (fraud) or category 13 (consumer) like other card-absent orders. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | Defines the Agentic Payment Provider: an application that searches, discovers and buys for a cardholder on a payment instruction plus cardholder verification, stores and transmits a token, and is not involved in authorization, clearing or settlement. Initiators of Agentic Transactions are not merchants. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Glossary, "Agentic Payment Provider", ID# 0031164 (Last Updated Apr 2026), p. 840 | The merchant that receives the token stays the merchant; the agent is not a merchant, so ordinary merchant dispute exposure applies. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | Defines an Agentic Transaction as an e-commerce transaction by an Agentic Payment Provider on cardholder-defined instructions, completed without direct cardholder-merchant interaction by submitting the credential for the merchant to complete with its acquirer; includes future-dated and repeated transactions. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Glossary, "Agentic Transaction", ID# 0031165 (Last Updated Apr 2026), p. 841 | Card-absent e-commerce rules apply; the merchant carries card-not-present dispute exposure as for any web order. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | An Agentic Payment Enabler must enroll in Visa Intelligent Commerce, register with Visa, contract with each provider (with a right to terminate), obtain tokens directly from Visa for stored credentials, never submit transactions for a provider, and comply with PCI DSS. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.1, ID# 0031167 (Last Updated Apr 2026), p. 263 | Not a dispute rule; it makes the enabler answerable to Visa for its providers. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | An Agentic Payment Provider must enroll in Visa Intelligent Commerce, use Visa tokens for stored credentials, not steer customers away from a chosen payment method, not act in a card-present environment, and not aggregate several agentic purchases into one transaction. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.2, ID# 0031168 (Last Updated Apr 2026), p. 264; aggregation also at p. 458 | One purchase equals one transaction, so a dispute maps to a single order at a single merchant. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | Before an agentic purchase the provider must obtain consent to tokenise and to use the cardholder-defined instruction, state the instruction's expiry date, obtain the cardholder's acknowledgement that they are responsible for the provider's actions, and verify identity per Visa Intelligent Commerce specifications. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.3, ID# 0031169 (Last Updated Apr 2026), pp. 264-265 | The signed acknowledgement shifts the "I did not authorise it" argument away from the merchant when the agent acted within instructions. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | During the purchase the provider must use only the cardholder-defined criteria and pass the cardholder name, billing and shipping address and email to the merchant. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.4, ID# 0031170 (Last Updated Apr 2026), p. 265 | The merchant receives real cardholder data, which is the evidence it needs to fight a fraud dispute. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | Digital wallets and pass-through wallets used for agentic transactions must verify the cardholder with a Visa-approved CDCVM when presenting the payment instruction and send the confirmed instruction to Visa. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.5, ID# 0031236 (Last Updated Apr 2026), p. 266 | A wallet-confirmed instruction gives the issuer a record of what the cardholder approved. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | The provider must obtain cardholder consent for limited refund or cancellation policies, delayed or amended charges, estimated authorisations, and merchant upsells, either at final checkout or when capturing the instruction. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.6, ID#0031172 (Last Updated Apr 2026), pp. 266-267 | A merchant whose policy was disclosed and accepted through the agent can rely on it in a consumer dispute (category 13). |
| 18 Apr 2026 | After the purchase the provider must make an order confirmation available for at least 120 days: goods, merchant contact, total, currency and cancellation policy; repeated transactions need a confirmation that charges continue until cancelled. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.8, ID# 0031174 (Last Updated Apr 2026), pp. 267-268 | The agent, not the merchant, must keep the cardholder-facing record; merchants should still keep their own. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | A cardholder is responsible for any actions taken by an Agentic Payment Provider as part of an Agentic Transaction as if the cardholder initiated the transaction. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 4.1.23.10, ID# 0031176 (Last Updated Apr 2026), p. 268 | Plain reading: an agent mistake within the instruction is the cardholder's purchase, so a "my agent got it wrong" claim is not fraud by itself; the cardholder's remedy runs against the provider. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | For the purpose of the Visa Rules an Agentic Payment Provider is considered to be the Cardholder for an Agentic Transaction. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Glossary, "Cardholder", ID# 0024372 (Last Updated Oct 2025), p. 852 | The provider stands in the cardholder's shoes toward the merchant. |
| 18 Apr 2026 | Issuers must pay acquirers for an Agentic Transaction processed in accordance with a cardholder's payment instructions, and general blocking rules state they include transactions undertaken by Agentic Payment Providers. | Visa Core Rules and Visa Product and Service Rules, 24 October 2026 edition. Section 1.7.6.1, p. 134; Section 1.7.4 footnote, ID# 0029326 (Last Updated Oct 2025), p. 133 | Issuers cannot refuse settlement just because an agent initiated the payment. |

-   Perplexity is not merchant of record for Instant Buy; the retailer is.
-   No published statement found on ACP or UCP use for Perplexity checkout.
-   The Ninth Circuit ruling addressed only the CFAA preliminary injunction; Amazon's contract claims remain in district court.

# Terms of use

## Using the content

You may read, quote and reuse the text and the datasets on this site with attribution, and the matrix and rules datasets are licensed CC BY 4.0: name Agent Ready Checkout, the title of the page or dataset, the edition date and the address. Do not present a quoted status as current without its read date. Third-party names, marks and documents linked from this site belong to their owners.

## Accuracy and advice

Statuses describe public documents on the date read, and the subject changes weekly. Check the linked source before you rely on a cell. Nothing here is legal, tax, financial or investment advice, and the plain readings of dispute liability in the rules tracker are not a substitute for your acquirer's or counsel's reading of your own contract.

## Links and automated access

Link to any page. Automated access is welcome within reason: the site publishes [llms.txt](https://agentreadycheckout.com/llms.txt), [a sitemap](https://agentreadycheckout.com/sitemap.xml) and markdown twins, and asks that crawlers keep to a polite request rate.

# Vendors in agent checkout

In short

73 vendors in 8 types sit on the pay layer for agents: 13 processors, 4 networks, 6 wallets, 19 agent-pay builders, 9 platforms, 6 surfaces, 9 retailers and 7 rules programmes. Each profile gives its sourced facts, the standards it states, its price lines and agent-readiness checks, with a read date on every one. Edition of 5 Nov 2026.

## How the list was built

A company or programme is a row when its own pages say what it does for agent payments. A name that appears only on a partner list is left out. Every row was read on 5 Nov 2026, and every fact on a profile carries its own source and read date.

The 22 company profiles and 5 retailers already in the protocol support matrix are rows here, linked both ways, and the 12 protocols are represented by their operators. The remaining rows came from the partner and endorser lists of ACP, UCP, AP2, Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol, Mastercard Agent Pay and x402, and then from each vendor's own pages. The matrix keeps its edition of 4 Nov 2026.

The rows run alphabetically inside each type. Nothing on this list is ranked, and a check on file is a reading, not a verdict.

## Vendors by type

| Type | Vendors | What the type covers |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Processors | 13 | A processor authorises and settles the payments a merchant accepts, whether a person or an agent started them. |
| Card networks | 4 | A card network sets the rules through which issuing banks, acquirers and merchants move card payments. |
| Wallets and pay-later services | 6 | A wallet or pay-later service holds a buyer's payment details and approves a charge when the buyer confirms. |
| Agent-pay builders | 19 | An agent-pay company supplies the wallets, accounts, tokens or checkout calls that let software hold or spend money. |
| Commerce platforms | 9 | A commerce platform is the software a merchant runs its catalogue, cart and checkout on. |
| Agent surfaces | 6 | An agent surface is the assistant, browser or app in which a shopper hands a task, such as a purchase, to an agent. |
| Retailers | 9 | A retailer sells the goods an agent may buy and sets its own terms for agent access. |
| Rules and identity programmes | 7 | A rules or identity programme defines how an agent is identified, verified or authorised before a payment goes through. |
|  |
| All types | 73 |  |

## How the checks are read

-   **Ora agent-readiness score.** The cached score that Ora returns for the vendor's domain, with the date of Ora's own scan. A domain Ora has not scanned reads "no cached score", and no scan was started for this section. The figures are Ora's.
-   **Ora payments layer.** The payments layer inside the same Ora record. Its six checks are bonus checks that count only when passed, so a reading of 0/0 means none passed and no points counted. A profile shows the row only where points counted.
-   **isitagentready scan.** A scan of the vendor's domain by the isitagentready service on 5 Nov 2026, with its default check profile. The value is the percent of counted checks passed and the readiness level the service names. Where a scan returned no result, the row gives the HTTP status the scanner got from the site.
-   **robots.txt, llms.txt and the UCP profile.** Read from [the crawl of 4 Nov 2026](https://agentreadycheckout.com/data/commerce-discovery-files) as an HTTP status and, for robots.txt, the number of user-agent groups. The UCP specification names /.well-known/ucp, so a miss at the .json path is not a verdict.
-   **Homepage fetch.** One GET of the homepage address when this section was built, after reading robots.txt, with the status as returned. A status other than 200 is a result, not an error.

# Adobe Commerce

In short

Adobe Commerce, formerly Magento, offers merchants a Commerce MCP server that exposes catalogue, cart, pricing, checkout and order flows to assistants, plus an April 2026 PayPal tie-up for product feeds into Perplexity and Copilot. ACP and UCP are reached through Stripe and Adyen rather than native endpoints, which Adobe has committed to support. No list price is published.

# Adyen

In short

Enterprise merchants reach AI agents through one Adyen integration, which Adyen markets as a universal translator and which leaves the merchant as seller of record. Access to the ACP and UCP routes began in limited availability. A published US rate adds a fixed 13 cents to the payment-method fee, and cards are priced Interchange++.

# Alchemy

In short

Alchemy, a blockchain developer platform, hands agents a card usable anywhere cards are taken and claims a single endpoint can receive payments from agents on any protocol. Its MCP server and command-line tools connect coding agents to more than 100 chains. The page leaves unnamed which protocols that endpoint accepts.

## At a glance

What it is

In short

Amazon runs two agents of its own. Alexa for Shopping, open to every customer in the app and website, compares products and sets price alerts. Buy for Me, a beta for some customers in the United States, buys from other brands' websites while the brand store sells, delivers and handles returns. Neither uses ACP or UCP checkout.

## At a glance

What it is

Amazon's own shopping agents: Alexa for Shopping (Rufus and Alexa+ combined) inside the Amazon app, website and Echo Show, and Buy for Me, which buys from other brands' websites on the customer's behalf.

# American Express

In short

American Express packages its agent offer as the ACE developer kit, covering agent registration, account enablement, intent checks, tokenised credentials and cart context. Credentials go only to verified agents, and a purchase proceeds only after the Card Member approves the intent. Amex has not yet released its roster of registered agents, and the protection terms are still to come.

# Agent-pay builders

Several state no protocol support at all, and prices are published for only a few.

The 19 agent-pay builders below were read on 5 Nov 2026. 5 of them state support for at least one protocol on their own pages, 8 more name one as announced or partial and 6 name none. A price is on file for Coinbase Developer Platform, Crossmint, MoonPay and Nevermined and 2 more.

# Card networks

In short

Card networks write the rules that move a card payment, and each of these has an agent programme or a plan for one. Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol and Mastercard's Agent Pay are live in part, American Express's ACE kit is partly specified, and UnionPay International's APOP framework is its own design with no public specification.

## Card networks in this section

The 4 card networks below were read on 5 Nov 2026. 2 of them state support for at least one protocol on their own pages, 2 more name one as announced or partial. No price is on file for any of them.

Processors authorise and settle the card and wallet payments an agent starts. Stripe co-developed ACP and MPP, PayPal and Braintree carry ChatGPT checkout over ACP, and Adyen's agent offer began in limited availability. Several rows, including Checkout.com and Worldpay, describe work that is announced or waitlisted, and several state that they publish no separate agent price.

# Retailers

In short

Retailers sell the goods an agent buys and set their own terms for agent access. Etsy and Instacart sell inside ChatGPT, Target sells through Google and Wayfair has announced UCP checkout there, Chewy and The Home Depot publish UCP profiles, and Amazon and eBay restrict agents by contract. Policies differ sharply from one retailer to the next.

# Rules and identity programmes

In short

Rules and identity programmes decide who may act, and on what terms, before a payment goes through. Cloudflare, HUMAN Security and Trulioo verify or screen agents, Forter decides which agent orders to approve, and the FIDO Alliance, EMVCo and the x402 Foundation write or steward standards, some still in draft. None of them processes payments.

# Wallets and pay-later services

In short

Wallets and pay-later services hold the buyer's payment details and approve a charge. Google Pay and Shop Pay already work as UCP payment paths, and Link hands agents single-use credentials after the user approves. Klarna and Affirm have announced support for UCP, Affirm also for AP2, and Ant International's Alipay+ network wrote its own protocol for wallet payments.

## Wallets and pay-later services in this section

The 6 wallets and pay-later services below were read on 5 Nov 2026. 3 of them state support for at least one protocol on their own pages, 3 more name one as announced or partial. A price is on file for Klarna.

# Catena

In short

Catena gives each AI agent its own identity and account, and its governance layer lets a transaction run only inside fixed spending policies, whether paid by card, ACH, wire or stablecoin. Its example is a payroll agent paying contractors worldwide. The homepage names no ACP, UCP or x402 support and lists no price.

## At a glance

What it is

Governance and banking platform for AI agents: per-agent identities and accounts, deterministic spending policies and payments over cards, ACH, wires and stablecoins.

# Checkout.com

In short

Checkout.com aims at enterprise merchants that cannot tell agents from people, cannot prove what a shopper authorised and lose disputes over agent orders. Its agentic product handles tokenisation, routing and risk scoring from the merchant's current stack and opens through a waitlist, with no self-serve price. Smaller merchants are outside the offer.

## At a glance

What it is

Enterprise acquirer and PSP that is a certified ACP payment handler for ChatGPT, processes UCP payments for Gemini and AI Mode over Google Pay rails, and checks agent identity with Visa TAP.

Vendor profile, retailer

# Chewy

In short

Chewy publishes a UCP business profile at the path the specification names, declaring checkout, fulfilment and order capabilities and a Google Pay handler whose identifier points to Braintree as processor. The profile lists no other wallet and no ACP. No press release on agent checkout turned up, so its position rests on the profile alone.

# Circle

In short

Circle, the issuer of USDC and EURC, gives developers an Agent Stack in which an agent holds a wallet and balance and buys paid services from a machine-readable marketplace, paying over x402 on supported chains. Cards are outside its scope: the money that moves is USDC. ACP, UCP and the card networks' own agent programmes go unnamed.

# Cloudflare

In short

Cloudflare verifies signed agent traffic for merchants with Web Bot Auth, which it first proposed in May 2025 and which Visa and Mastercard use as the authentication layer under their agent programmes. Its Agents documentation also covers x402 and MPP payments. Cloudflare issues no payment credentials, and its NET Dollar stablecoin was only a plan when announced.

# Coinbase Developer Platform

In short

Coinbase created x402 and runs the CDP facilitator that verifies and settles such payments. Its Agentic Wallet gives an agent a standalone stablecoin wallet on Base with per-session and per-transaction caps, and agents sign in by emailed one-time code. The facilitator is free for the first 1,000 transactions each month, then 0.001 USD each.

## At a glance

What it is

Coinbase's developer platform: creator of x402, operator of the CDP x402 facilitator, and maker of Agentic Wallet, a stablecoin wallet with spending limits that agents use to pay for APIs and services.

## What it does not do

-   Coinbase's Agentic Wallet does not pay with cards; it holds and spends stablecoins and tokens.
-   The CDP facilitator does not take custody of seller funds; sellers receive at addresses they control.

# Crossmint

In short

Crossmint supplies infrastructure for agents to pay: a vault holding saved cards, cards with limits enforced at Visa and Mastercard, non-custodial stablecoin wallets, and checkouts accepting cards from any country plus Klarna and Shop Pay. The first 5,000 monthly active wallets are free, then a cent each. Crossmint sits outside the dispute path, which runs through the cardholder's issuer.

## At a glance

What it is

Agent payments infrastructure: a card vault with network agentic tokens, Agent Cards, non-custodial stablecoin Agent Wallets for x402 and MPP, and Agent Checkouts that buy on any website through protocols or a browser.

# eBay

In short

Bots and agents that buy for a user, or place orders with no human check, are banned on eBay from 20 February 2026 unless eBay agrees first. Trade press says the new terms block agents from Google, Amazon and Perplexity. Its robots.txt bars ten named AI crawlers from everything except 11 listed paths, among them help and seller pages.

## At a glance

What it is

Marketplace whose User Agreement, effective 20 Feb 2026, bans buy-for-me agents, LLM-driven bots and end-to-end order flows without human review unless eBay gives prior express permission.

## What it does for this layer

-   eBay's User Agreement update, posted 20 Jan 2026 and effective for existing users on 20 Feb 2026, bars use of buy-for-me agents, LLM-driven bots or any end-to-end flow that places orders without human review, except with eBay's prior express permission (as quoted by Value Added Resource). [valueaddedresource.net](https://www.valueaddedresource.net/ebay-bans-ai-agents-updates-arbitration-user-agreement-feb-2026/), read 5 Nov 2026, dated 20 Feb 2026. Secondary source
-   The previous eBay User Agreement banned robots, spiders, scrapers and automated means in general but did not name AI agents or LLMs, according to Value Added Resource. [valueaddedresource.net](https://www.valueaddedresource.net/ebay-bans-ai-agents-updates-arbitration-user-agreement-feb-2026/), read 5 Nov 2026. Secondary source
-   Shopifreaks reported that eBay's new terms block agents from Google, Amazon and Perplexity while allowing bots with prior permission, naming OpenAI. [shopifreaks.com](https://www.shopifreaks.com/ebay-bans-unapproved-agentic-shopping-bots-from-its-platform-set-stage-for-more-partnerships/), read 5 Nov 2026, dated 26 Jan 2026. Secondary source
-   ebay.com's robots.txt disallows the site root to GPTBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Bytespider, CCBot, ChatGLM-Spider, AmazonBot, meta-externalagent and Applebot-Extended, and its allow lines for those bots still cover 11 path prefixes, among them /help, /sellercenter and /giftcards. [ebay.com](https://www.ebay.com/robots.txt), read 5 Nov 2026. Observed
-   ebay.com's robots.txt gives OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-SearchBot and Claude-User the same limited rules as regular crawlers rather than a full block. [ebay.com](https://www.ebay.com/robots.txt), read 5 Nov 2026. Observed

**Note on sources.** eBay's User Agreement page served a security check to this site's fetcher on 5 Nov 2026, so the clause is cited from trade coverage that quotes it.

In short

Etsy listings can be bought inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Copilot, but only by buyers logged in to the assistant's own account. The purchase checks out as a guest, Etsy emails the confirmation, and buyers link the order to their Etsy account from that email. Gift cards and coupons do not work.

# FIDO Alliance

In short

On 28 April 2026 the FIDO Alliance said it would draw up interoperable standards for how agents interact and transact, building on Google's AP2 and Mastercard's Verifiable Intent. Its work covers verifiable user instructions, agent authentication and trusted delegation, in two technical working groups. It has published no final agent payments specification and certifies nothing yet.

## At a glance

What it is

Open standards body behind passkeys; since April 2026 the steward of AP2 and the home of an Agentic Authentication Technical Working Group and a Payments Technical Working Group writing specifications for agent-initiated commerce.

## What it does not do

-   The FIDO Alliance does not process payments or certify agents today; its agent commerce output is specification work in member working groups.
-   The FIDO Alliance had not published a final agent payments specification by 5 Nov 2026; the April 2026 announcement describes working groups and initial contributions.

-   Fiserv's Visa release does not state a date by which Clover merchants can accept TAP-verified agent orders.

# Forter

In short

Forter, a fraud and identity company, sells Agentic Orchestration: a no-code layer that translates agent commerce protocols into a merchant's existing checkout, with account-based checkout so loyalty carries over. Its dispute and payments agents handle chargebacks and routing. The merchant's own PSP still authorises and settles, and the page does not name the protocols it translates.

In short

Google's agent checkout in AI Mode and the Gemini app runs on UCP: select merchants apply through a form, implement in phases and reuse their Merchant Center feeds, and shoppers pay with Google Pay. The transaction happens on Google's surfaces while the merchant stays seller of record. Only cards saved in Google Wallet work for now.

## What it does not do

-   Google does not become the merchant of record for UCP checkout; the merchant remains seller of record.
-   Google's UCP checkout does not yet accept tokenised or non-card payment forms; it uses card numbers saved in Google Wallet.

# Google Pay

In short

When a shopper buys through UCP in Google's AI Mode or the Gemini app, this wallet supplies the payment step, using a handler named com.google.pay. The merchant publishes its settings, the platform requests an encrypted token, and the token goes to the merchant's own processor, not Google. Chewy and The Home Depot already run it live in their UCP profiles.

## At a glance

What it is

Google's wallet and the payment handler (com.google.pay) behind UCP checkout in AI Mode and Gemini; merchants publish their Google Pay configuration and platforms produce an encrypted token for the merchant's PSP.

In short

Highnote issues virtual cards to AI agents and checks velocity limits, merchant categories and per-transaction caps at the moment of authorisation, before funds move. It says the most mature agent payments today sit in finance operations such as supplier payments and procurement, not consumer shopping. In April 2026 it joined Visa's pilot group for Intelligent Commerce Connect.

# Kite

In short

Kite offers agents a purpose-built blockchain. Users set budgets and permissions in advance, a layer called Kite Passport enforces them, and payments settle in stablecoins on Kite Chain, which is EVM-compatible with deterministic finality. Card payments are not part of it, and the homepage names no support for ACP, UCP, AP2 or x402.

## At a glance

What it is

Payments chain for agents: an EVM-compatible blockchain with native stablecoin settlement, plus Kite Passport for agent identity, budgets and permissions, and SDKs for agent workflows.

# Lightspark

In short

Lightspark's API lets a platform cap what an agent can spend from an account, enforcing permissions, limits and approvals in the account itself and keeping a log of each action. Platforms can also cap daily executions and show locked exchange rates before payment. Lightspark is not a shopping assistant; its role is the account an agent draws on.

## At a glance

What it is

Money-movement API for accounts, payments, cards and stablecoins with Bitcoin Lightning support; its agentic payments capability gives agents bounded spending authority over Global Accounts.

In short

Lithic issues virtual cards to agents, with single-use cards, merchant locking and preset fraud rules that judge each transaction in context. It adds an MCP server, KYB and KYC onboarding for agent programmes and automated dispute handling. Its agentic page names neither Visa Intelligent Commerce nor Mastercard Agent Pay tokens and lists no price.

## At a glance

## What it does not do

-   Mastercard does not acquire merchants or process their payments; merchants accept Agent Pay through their acquirer or PSP.
-   Mastercard's published rules (June 2026 editions) contain no provision naming agent-initiated transactions, so dispute treatment rests on the Agent Pay framework documents, not the rulebook.

# Meta (Muse)

In short

Meta launched Muse in September 2026 as a personal agent that works in its own secure virtual machine with a browser, and says each person decides how much access it gets. Sending email and booking trips are among its jobs. Since 20 September Amazon has refused Muse, because the agent does not announce itself as the terms demand.

## At a glance

Meta's personal AI agent, launched September 2026, that runs in its own secure virtual machine with a browser and can buy on websites, checking out with Link by Stripe and listed to use PayPal and Shopify Catalog over UCP.

# Microsoft (Copilot Checkout)

In short

Copilot Checkout, introduced by Microsoft Advertising in January 2026, lets a shopper buy without leaving Copilot and without a redirect. Merchants begin with a UCP-ready feed in Merchant Center and add return and support settings, while Brand Agents answer questions on their own sites. Partner PSPs take the payment, and the product is limited to the United States.

## At a glance

What it is

Microsoft's Copilot Checkout, which completes purchases inside Copilot with the merchant as merchant of record, fed by UCP-ready Microsoft Merchant Center feeds and partners PayPal, Shopify and Stripe, plus Brand Agents for merchants' own sites.

# OpenAI (ChatGPT shopping)

In short

Shopping in ChatGPT is live for users in the United States and works from product feeds: Shopify and Etsy merchants are already included, while others apply and join a waitlist. OpenAI says ACP today covers discovery and recommendations and will grow to the full shopping journey, and it plans a self-serve merchant platform for product data.

## At a glance

What it is

OpenAI's shopping in ChatGPT: product discovery from merchant feeds shared over ACP, with purchases completed on the merchant's site or app; ACP was co-developed with Stripe and is to grow toward the full shopping journey.

# Payman AI

In short

Payman AI sells banks and credit unions an agent that carries out real banking transactions on a customer's behalf, running inside the institution and under its control. It contrasts this with chatbots that only answer questions. Its buyers are financial institutions, not merchants or shoppers, and it states no support for ACP, UCP or AP2.

# PayPal

In short

PayPal said on 28 October 2025 that it would adopt ACP so ChatGPT users can pay from their PayPal balance, bank or cards, and its Agent Ready path for Google AI Mode and Gemini runs over UCP. Merchants request access through a form instead of signing up themselves. PayPal cites a base of over 400 million shoppers.

## At a glance

What it is

Wallet and payments company whose agentic commerce services (Agent Ready for payments, Store Sync for catalogs) connect PayPal and Braintree merchants to ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini and other assistants.

# Perplexity (shopping and Comet)

In short

Perplexity's shopping is free for users in the United States and checks out through PayPal inside the same conversation, with the retailer acting as merchant of record, so retailers keep returns, loyalty and the post-purchase relationship. It started on desktop and web, with phone apps to follow. Perplexity runs no payments itself, and the launch post offers nothing elsewhere.

## At a glance

What it is

AI answer engine and Comet browser with in-chat shopping; checkout runs through PayPal Instant Buy with the retailer as merchant of record, and Comet's agent can shop on websites.

# Razorpay

In short

Razorpay opened a private beta in October 2025 that lets people in India pre-authorise an AI agent to pay over UPI within limits they set, so no PIN or one-time code is needed for each purchase. NPCI and OpenAI's ChatGPT were its partners in the build, and the rail works only in India.

What it is

Indian payments company that launched Agentic Payments with NPCI and OpenAI in October 2025, letting users pre-authorise an AI agent to pay over UPI within set limits, and sells an agentic payments suite for in-app, in-chat and voice commerce.

# Shop Pay

In short

Shop Pay lets an agent finish a purchase through Shopify's Shop MCP: a signed-in shopper pays with saved details, the agent completes checkout after approval, and the order shows up in the merchant's Shopify admin like any other. Shoppers who are not signed in can still build carts. At launch the server had no webhooks, so agents poll for status.

## At a glance

What it is

Shopify's wallet, which agents can use through Shop MCP: a signed-in shopper pays with saved Shop Pay details without leaving the agent, and orders land in the merchant's Shopify admin.

In short

Shopify syndicates merchant catalogues to ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and the Shop app through its Agentic plan, which plugs into a brand's PIM, tax and order systems. The plan has no monthly fee and charges when products sell, with no rate stated. Orders finish in the merchant's Shopify checkout, never on the AI surface.

-   Shopify does not make the AI surface the merchant of record; the merchant's own Shopify checkout completes the order.
-   Shopify's Agentic plan page does not state the rate charged when a product sells; it says only that there is no monthly fee and that brands pay when their products sell.

# Stripe

In short

Stripe works on both sides of agent commerce: it issues scoped payment tokens that agents hand to sellers, and it sells merchants a suite for catalogue sharing and checkout. OpenAI is its partner on ACP, Tempo on MPP. Agent card payments cost the same as ordinary card payments, at 2.9% plus 30 cents in the US.

## At a glance

What it is

Payments processor that co-developed ACP with OpenAI and MPP with Tempo, issues Shared Payment Tokens to agents, sells the Agentic Commerce Suite to merchants and runs Link as an agent wallet.

## What it does not do

-   Stripe does not list a separate agentic transaction fee on its pricing page; agent card payments are priced as standard card payments.
-   Stripe does not run a consumer shopping agent; it supplies payments and checkout to agents such as ChatGPT and Muse and to sellers.

# Sumvin

In short

Sumvin is a consumer agent app. The user states what to buy, the highest price and how long to wait, and the app then locates a vetted seller and completes the purchase. Identity sits on a Visa card that holds the user's limits and permissions. It is a Visa partner, named in the pilot for Intelligent Commerce Connect.

## At a glance

What it is

Consumer agent app built on identity-anchored money: errands that buy within a set price and time window, and a Visa card that carries the user's agent limits, as a Visa Intelligent Commerce launch partner.

# Tempo

In short

Tempo is a payments-focused blockchain incubated by Stripe, and it co-wrote the Machine Payments Protocol with Stripe, in which an API answers with HTTP 402 and asks to be paid. Access keys give each agent a spending limit and an expiry, and sub-cent charges are supported. For cards, MPP depends on Stripe, since Tempo itself takes no card payments.

## At a glance

What it is

Payments-first Layer 1 blockchain incubated by Stripe with a crypto venture firm for stablecoin payments; co-author of the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) with Stripe, letting agents pay per request for APIs, tools and content.

-   Tempo notes that some collection or custody providers process only whole cents, so sub-cent pricing depends on the funding provider.

In short

VTEX published a checklist on 29 October 2026 for getting a store ready for Google's UCP checkout: catalogue, Google feed, shipping rules and Merchant Center. It argues that the same preparation improves Google Shopping results and that agents are changing back-office category management before checkout. It announces no general availability of UCP checkout on VTEX stores.

# Walmart

In short

Under Walmart's plan, a shopper could allow an agent to spend up to a cap of their choosing, such as 50, 100 or 200 USD, or insist on approving each order. Each agent's orders will show separately under its Agent Profile, at the prices a person sees. Agents never receive card data.

## At a glance

What it is

U.S. retailer that sells through ChatGPT, Gemini and Muse, runs its own Sparky agent, and in October 2026 set terms for AI agents with Agent Profiles, spending limits and an MCP-based Walmart Agent Gateway.

# Wayfair

In short

Wayfair describes UCP as letting a shopper complete an order inside Google, with Wayfair remaining the seller of record, and it co-developed the protocol with Google. The retailer calls agentic commerce early and argues that off-platform agents need a shared language to describe its products accurately. ChatGPT and Copilot checkout go unnamed in its announcement.

# WooCommerce

In short

WooCommerce, the WordPress commerce plugin, lets assistants read a store's catalogue and order status through the WordPress Abilities API, and keeps a public table of protocol status that it says it will update. Each store keeps its own gateway and moves to new protocols when it chooses. Its AI feature is in private beta.

## At a glance

What it is

Open-source WordPress commerce plugin with an agentic commerce track: the WordPress Abilities API for agent reads, a beta MCP server, UCP services in WooCommerce AI and ACP work with Stripe.

# Worldline

In short

Worldline, a European acquirer, says agent payments already run in production on Visa and Mastercard with ING and Credit Agricole, and that agents should never hold raw card credentials. It stresses a verifiable record of what the customer approved, for disputes. It names no particular agent protocol and says liability depends on the scheme.

# x402 Foundation

In short

The x402 Foundation became operational on 14 July 2026, when the transfer of Coinbase's x402 protocol, an HTTP 402 payment standard, to the Linux Foundation was complete. No single company is to control it, since the Linux Foundation promises vendor neutrality. Adyen's chief technology officer spoke at the launch about merchants transacting on their own terms. It runs no facilitator.

## At a glance

What it is

Linux Foundation project that governs the x402 protocol (HTTP 402 payments for agents and APIs) under vendor-neutral, open governance after Coinbase contributed it in 2026.
