    Agentic Commerce on Orbit: How the ACP Surface Lets an AI Shopping Agent Buy From You

    Can your AI shopping agent transact with your storefront? On Devotel Orbit it drives the public Agentic Commerce Protocol surface — a discovery manifest, a hosted product feed, and checkout sessions priced server-side — over the same one-cart-many-channels spine your human shoppers already use.

    AI Agent Payment Mandates: Native Consent or Bolt-On

    When an AI agent spends a customer's money, two approaches exist: bolt the consent logic on in your own code, or use a platform where scoped mandates are native. This comparison maps the scoped-vs-bolt-on decision and where the agent payment mandate console in Devotel Orbit lands.

    Direct Carrier Billing charges a purchase to the buyer's mobile operator bill instead of a card. This guide covers how the DCB rail works on Devotel Orbit — merchant onboarding, the charge lifecycle, and operator settlement reconciliation — and when operator-billed checkout beats card rails in a messaging conversation.
