Who is the legal seller when an AI agent makes the sale?
The problem“If my AI agent sends the checkout and closes the sale, who is responsible for the tax and the receipt?”
Not the agent. An AI agent acts for a verified business; it can’t be the seller itself. With AgentaOS, the legal seller on every sale is AgentaOS as Merchant of Record, so the tax, invoice and disputes are handled no matter whether you or your agent made the sale.

How does the agent prove who it works for?
Every connection creates a key on your account that carries the assistant’s name, so each action is tied to your verified business. Think of it as your seller passport: it identifies you and the agents that sell for you.
Live payments only work once your business is verified, and only you can complete the ID check.
Where does AgentaOS fit?
Where we’re going: the Merchant of Record for AI agents, so the agents that sell for you can get paid anywhere.
