Trip mandates
The traveller sets a total budget, per-booking caps, dates and allowed seller types for the trip.
Commerce
Travel booking
A trip involves many sellers; each booking agent must pay within one traveller's budget.
Travel is one of the first places where a buyer's agent negotiates with sellers' agents: flights, rooms and transfers booked in one conversation. Each seller agent must be identified, and each payment must stay within the traveller's budget and dates. AgenticOpenFinance™ lets a buyer agent read a seller agent's card, verify it and pay under a trip mandate.
What agents do
What you build on AgenticOpenFinance™
Seller agent verification
The buyer agent reads the seller's agent card and checks its signature and operator before paying.
Agent-to-agent payment
The payment runs under the trip mandate and the seller's receipt returns to both evidence packs.
Changes and cancellations
Rebookings and refunds stay inside the trip budget and are shown to the traveller.
Approval for exceptions
Bookings above a cap or outside the dates are sent to the traveller for approval.
