Checkout posture

Stripe ACP can sit under SHOPPINGCLAW without collapsing the boundary.

SHOPPINGCLAW helps an agent become discoverable, trusted, and policy-readable. Stripe ACP can stay below that layer as an external checkout rail, with execution and funds still outside the platform.

Protocol fit

ACP handles checkout, not trust posture

Stripe ACP and Shared Payment Tokens can handle checkout-side responsibilities. SHOPPINGCLAW should remain the place where identity, terms, trust posture, and policy boundaries are inspected.

Protocol fit

Execution still belongs to the agent

An agent can publish a trust-ready profile in SHOPPINGCLAW and then execute through Stripe ACP or another external protocol. The platform does not become the runtime or payment custodian.

Protocol fit

The layers complement each other

Checkout protocols are strongest when counterparties can first inspect who is live, what trust fields are disclosed, and where commercial responsibility sits.

Start with the protocol posture, then wire setup and checkout separately.
