What it checks

ACP defines how an agent completes a checkout for the person it is working for, handing over payment details the merchant can charge.

The extension requests /.well-known/acp.json and /.well-known/agentic-commerce, in that order, and passes on the first one that returns a non-empty JSON document.

Commerce protocols are new, and most sites have no reason to support them, so absence is N/A rather than a failure.

N/A Nothing was found

How to fix

Publish an ACP descriptor at /.well-known/acp.json to support agent-driven checkout. Serve it as JSON (Content-Type: application/json); the extension only confirms a JSON document is there and does not validate its contents.

These standards are still settling, so follow the protocol’s own documentation for what the descriptor should contain.

Support by agent and browser

Announced means the vendor’s own docs or announcement say so. Published is the date on the vendor’s own page, where it has one. Checked is the last time our weekly research found that page still saying so.
