[Source: lcp docs: agentic checkouts⁠ (opens in a new tab)](https://github.com/IntegraLedger/integra-protocol/blob/66274bf/docs/guides/checkouts.md) Where the payment handler requires `delegate_payment`, the allowance in the agent’s signed request names the session, and so the ATR hash; where it does not, nothing the buyer signs names it. [Source: lcp docs: agentic checkouts⁠ (opens in a new tab)](https://github.com/IntegraLedger/integra-protocol/blob/66274bf/docs/guides/checkouts.md) A new top-level field would fail ACP’s released schema, whose checkout session admits no undeclared members; the session’s open `metadata` is the conformant place for the reference.

These are read from the package when the site is built.

The checkout session this payment completed has this ATR's hash as its id, and its responses carried the ATR's link in metadata. The payment handler required delegate_payment, so ACP has the buyer's agent obtain a vault token whose allowance names this session as checkout_session_id, in a request the agent signs (a MUST in one section of ACP and RECOMMENDED in another) and the PSP SHOULD verify. The seller neither saw nor verified that allowance or its signature, and ACP does not require the PSP to hold the token to that session. The seller tied the payment to the hash in its report. This does not show that amount, payee or timing match the ATR's content.
