Google has launched the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), an open-source standard designed to enhance commerce on AI-powered platforms. UCP creates a common language for agentic shopping, enabling seamless interactions among consumers, businesses, and payment providers. It integrates with existing retail infrastructure and the Agent Payments Protocol ( AP2) for secure payments, offering businesses flexible connection options via APIs and Agent-to-Agent ( A2A) communication.
