AP2 Mandates and Purchase Authorization
Understand checkout and payment mandates as evidence-bearing authorization structures rather than generic payment payloads.
Why it matters
AP2 v0.2 defines an authorization model around agent-performed payments, including checkout and payment mandates and corresponding receipts.
How it works
The important security question is not simply whether a JSON object exists, but whether the authorization, constraints, binding and cryptographic verification required by the active flow are satisfied.
Practical takeaway
Agenticommerce validates decoded structure and configuration signals only. Real signature verification and payment processing belong in the implementing payment and commerce systems.
