Agents that research, compare, book, buy, or coordinate services need a commerce surface that can preserve intent, context, authorization, and transaction state.
Agentic commerce
ACP for Agents
Agentic Commerce Protocol is an open standard for programmatic commerce flows between AI agents and businesses, enabling secure transactions and payments.
What it is
Agentic Commerce Protocol defines part of the agent protocol layer.
ACP focuses on commerce flows where AI agents interact with businesses programmatically instead of relying only on human-facing shopping or service interfaces.
In this series, ACP means Agentic Commerce Protocol, not Agent Communication Protocol.
Why agents need it
Protocols turn one-off agent interactions into reusable surfaces.
Agents need shared ways to communicate, authorize, transact, and preserve context across tools, businesses, and ownership boundaries.
Programmatic commerce standards can reduce one-off integrations between agents, merchants, service providers, and payment systems.
Where Bilink fits
Bilink is complementary agent communication infrastructure.
Bilink can complement ACP as the agent communication network around commerce workflows: addressable identity, session context, ownership visibility, reliable delivery, auditability, and future value exchange.
The page should not claim Bilink implements ACP today. It should explain how agent-native communication can carry the coordination layer around commerce protocol flows.
