Commerce OS for autonomous agentsPre-launch · illustrative data

Commerce, with control.

A policy-controlled checkout for software agents. Agents propose what to buy; published rules decide whether anything is authorised; settlement and delivery are recorded on one order a finance team can read.

How an order moves

Propose. Check. Authorise. Settle.

Four steps, one order record. Every step writes down what was asked, what the rules said, what was authorised and what settled.

01
Intent
An agent proposes a listing, a quantity and a supplier. Nothing is committed and no balance is touched.
02
Deterministic checks
Available to spend, Reserved liquidity, the Gross margin floor, supplier status and the approval limit — in that order.
03
Authorization boundary
Cleared, Policy blocked, or Human approval required. The rules decide; the model never holds the pen.
04
Settlement and receipt
USDC settlement and the delivery record land on the same order a finance team can read.

Act 01 · Order intent

A buying agent asks for 250 compute hours.

The agent submits an intent — listing, quantity, supplier, price. Nothing is committed yet: no balance is touched and no supplier purchase exists.

Illustrative orderNo live fundsPre-launch preview

Order: MR-ORD-2481
Listing: Cloud Compute Vouchers · MR-CMP-250
Quantity: 250 compute hours
Supplier: CloudCore Compute
Amount: 2,100.00 USDC
Status: Proposed · nothing committed

Act 02 · Deterministic checks

Five rules run in a fixed order.

Amount against Available to spend, supplier cost against the balance free after Reserved, Gross margin against the floor, supplier status, then the auto-approval limit. Same inputs, same decision, every time.

Available to spend: 12,400.00 USDC
Reserved: 3,150.00 USDC
Gross margin: floor 15.0%

Act 03 · Authorization boundary

Agent decision

The boundary is drawn by the rules, not by the model. Step through the three outcomes for this order: all checks pass, a check fails, or a check holds for a human.

Every check passed. The supplier purchase is authorised and the order proceeds to settlement.

Evaluated in the browser with the configuration above. No order is submitted and no funds move.

Act 04 · Settlement and receipt

Settled, delivered, written to one record.

Settlement and delivery land on the same order record, so what was paid and what came back can be inspected together instead of reconciled after the fact.

Illustrative record. Intent, checks, authorisation, settlement and delivery are written against the same order, so the payment and the delivery can be inspected together. Nothing in this preview submits an order or moves funds, and network coverage is planned.

Policy engine

Rules first. Then money moves.

Every intent an agent proposes runs through the same five checks in the same order. Change the inputs and the decision updates; the outcome never depends on a model's judgement.

Balances, floor and approval limit are an illustrative configuration for this preview
Deterministic and ordered — the same inputs always give the same decision
A failed check blocks the order; a held check escalates to a human

The supplier purchase may be submitted; settlement and delivery are then written to the same order record.

Deterministic rules evaluated in order: a failed check blocks the order, then a held check escalates to a human. This evaluation runs in the browser against the illustrative configuration above — no order is submitted and no funds move.

Platform

Built for finance teams, not for demos.

Everything an autonomous buyer needs to be trusted with a budget: hard limits, a human in the loop where it matters, and a record that reconciles itself.

Deterministic policy engine

Five ordered checks, no model in the decision path. The order on this page clears every one of them, and the same code decides in the terminal above.

Spend and margin floors

Available to spend, Reserved liquidity and a Gross margin floor you publish. A thin order is blocked before a supplier is ever contacted.

Human approval queue

Above the auto-approval limit, execution pauses and the intent waits for a person. Nothing is bought automatically while it waits.

Supplier rails

Catalogue, stock and purchase calls run through the AppRoute SDK — TypeScript, Python, Go and PHP — only after the policy gate has cleared the intent.

const decision = evaluatePolicy(intent);
if (decision !== "Cleared") {
  return hold(decision);
}

// supplier rail, only after the gate
await client.orders.create({ ...intent });
await ledger.settle(order.id, "USDC");

USDC settlement

Deterministic settlement in USDC, verifiable by transaction hash. Arc first, then Base and Solana — all planned, none live today.

Arcplanned
Baseplanned
Solanaplanned

One append-only record

Intent, checks, decision, settlement and delivery are written against the same order, so each charge matches what it bought.

Strict state machine

Orders move only through valid transitions. A supplier timeout reconciles instead of blindly retrying, and a duplicate payment can never create a second order.

ordered checks

Same inputs, same decision. Every time.

order record

Intent, decision, settlement and delivery, together.

model authority

A model proposes. It never authorises.

The catalogue

Business inputs, bought wholesale. Sold at a margin you set.

Agents order from a supplier-backed catalogue — compute, credit and seats. You set the margin floor, the spend limit and who approves an exception.

Illustrative demo catalogue: example listings, not actual inventory and not live supplier pricing.

Settlement

One record for the payment and the delivery.

Settlement and delivery are written against the same order, so each charge can be matched to what it bought instead of trusted as a total.

Supplier wholesale: Paid at the supplier’s published rate, with no markup applied by Mercenta.
Platform fee: Charged on settled order value. Illustrative rate in this preview: 1.5%.
Network fee: Pass-through of the actual settlement network cost.
Settlement: USDC, verifiable by transaction hash once a settlement network is live.

Illustrative pricing model and fictional order. Rates are not final, no network is connected, and nothing on this page moves funds.

Status

What is live today

Mercenta is pre-launch. We would rather describe the gap than imply a product that does not run yet.

Live today: This landing page and the browser policy demo, running on illustrative configuration.
Not live yet: No production storefront, merchant console, wallet or supplier execution is running.
Planned next: Merchant console, supplier catalogue sync and USDC settlement on Arc, then Base and Solana.
