Why it matters
Agents finish a purchase only when the checkout accepts an agent payment path. In the agentready.org study, agents completed Link checkouts correctly in most cases. The check looks for Stripe Link, Shared Payment Tokens or an ACP checkout_sessions endpoint, and never sends a POST.
How to fix it
Give agents a payment path at checkout.
-
Accept Stripe Link or Shared Payment Tokens on the checkout page.
-
Declare the checkout_sessions endpoint in /.well-known/acp.json.
{"flows": ["checkout"], "capabilities": {"checkout": {"endpoint": "https://example.com/acp/checkout_sessions"}}}
Verify
curl -s https://{domain}/.well-known/acp.json | grep -q checkout_sessions
Expected: exit code 0
