Payments are a flow-based and rule-based deterministic part of an order. There is no AI decision making involved for them.

The role that AI can honestly play here is in collecting payment information, e.g. a credit card number, checking account number, or providing information for a cryptocurrency transfer, but that's not the same as executing the payment itself.

The AI's job is to dispatch the order with the payment information, and that is all.

UTCP is a rule-based deterministic protocol for tool calling. No AI here. Agents can use the protocol, but its there to handle the stuff the AI shouldn't need to see.

In the UTCP world, choosing what to develop is easy: Just look to the MCP world for what's strongly used.

the problem concretely is that they currently cannot get the right authentication for checking out, or sending a payment, because it is not standardized

so the question is, how can we help them achieve that?
