Issue reference
ChatGPT checkout could not start a session
- ACP_CHECKOUT_SESSION_FAILED
- Any
- ACP
- High
What it means
It concerns ACP, the chatgpt checkout. The Agentic Commerce Protocol, from OpenAI and Stripe. It is how ChatGPT completes a purchase on your store.
What it does to an agent
Most agents fail at this point. The few that find a way round it spend more time and model calls doing so, and may give up before checkout.
How to fix it
Accept an agentic-checkout session created with a merchant-issued key, and return the session lifecycle the spec defines.
Check the fix
Run the check that reported ACP_CHECKOUT_SESSION_FAILED again after the change. The scan needs no account; an issue found during an AI shopping test needs that test run again.
