Worldpay, a global leader in payment technology, has announced its support for the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), an open standard developed by OpenAI that enables AI agents, consumers, and businesses to collaborate seamlessly in completing purchases. Under this new framework, U.S.-based ChatGPT users will soon be able to shop directly from participating Worldpay merchants using Instant Checkout. Worldpay’s integration with the ACP is designed to streamline and secure AI-powered shopping experiences. The company’s advanced credential management and fraud prevention systems ensure that transactions are processed safely and reliably, maintaining the same high level of data protection as traditional e-commerce. “For agentic commerce to truly scale, it must deliver seamless, secure payments that both consumers and merchants can trust,” said Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay. “Our credential management doesn’t just keep payment data safe — it keeps it up to date to mitigate failed transactions. We’re developing future-proof, multi-agent solutions designed for scalable growth. By integrating with OpenAI’s Agentic Commerce Protocol, we’re empowering merchants to stay ahead as AI transforms the shopping experience.” Worldpay’s credential-management solution offers merchants flexible, acquirer-agnostic token management, automatic updates to payment credentials to reduce failed transactions, and enterprise-grade security to protect sensitive data throughout the process. This ensures that as AI agents take on a greater role in shopping, the payment experience remains smooth, secure, and reliable. As the landscape of commerce evolves, reducing friction for consumers has become critical. Worldpay is taking a merchant-centric approach, ensuring that integrating with emerging standards like the OpenAI ACP and Delegated Payment specifications is as simple and efficient as possible. This allows merchants to adopt AI-driven commerce models without being locked into specific payment processors. By enabling effortless onboarding regardless of a merchant’s current payment provider, Worldpay helps lower technical barriers, accelerate adoption, and support multi-agent interoperability across platforms. This forward-thinking strategy ensures merchants can meet their customers wherever they are, as agent-led commerce grows across diverse digital ecosystems. Turner emphasized the importance of collaboration and open ecosystems in driving innovation: “Collaboration and a commitment to open, connected ecosystems will fuel the next wave of innovation. We’re building for the ecosystem of AI agents that will define commerce tomorrow, leveraging open frameworks like ACP. Our token management, credential intelligence, and strategic partnerships provide merchants with the foundation they need to compete and thrive.” Worldpay processes over 50 billion transactions annually across 174 countries and 135 currencies, supporting businesses of all sizes with secure, flexible, and efficient payment solutions. The company continues to lead in enabling omni-commerce, helping customers become more efficient, secure, and successful in a rapidly changing digital economy.
