# How It Works
- Agent queries merchant’s ACP-compliant endpoint to retrieve product/inventory data
- Agent presents options to user; user selects and confirms purchase intent
- Encrypted, scoped payment token is generated and passed to merchant
- Merchant fulfills order; confirmation returned to agent
