See every featureAI shopping agents are arriving at storefronts, and most stores can only block all automated traffic or trust all of it. AVA Pay verifies the cryptographic credentials agents already carry and applies your policy to verified traffic.
Integrate your store with agents in a secure and autonomous manner. Define your own rules to control the scope of the agents' operations within your store. Every transaction generates a cryptographically signed digital receipt, ensuring traceability and security; it also serves as valid proof, as it captures human delegation for each operation carried out by an agent.
- Cryptographic verification of AI shopping agents, not user agent strings
- Per-platform policy rules with a conservative default for unknown agents
- One-time discounts minted only for agents your policy approves
- Traffic dashboard: agent identity, protocol, and a reason for every verdict
- Secure agent trading under the business rules that you activate or deactivate
- It allows you to block purchasing agents with whom you have had bad experiences.
- Each order generates an electronically signed and unforgeable receipt.
- Real-time agent activity and metrics.
