startupignition.com offers agents a way to sign up; we found no way to change or cancel it afterwards.

The biggest step: Let agents pay (+16).

What's missing

  1. Let agents pay (+16 points)

    Ask your payment provider whether it takes agent payments (a token the person approves, which the agent passes on without seeing a card), and declare it on your own door: in UCP, as a payment handler.

    A quick partial step: add paymentAccepted to your business markup, and say in words on your booking or order page how payment happens.

    Guide

    More

    An assistant that knows how payment works can tell its person what happens next; one that can pay finishes the job.

    Ask your payment provider whether it takes agent payments (a token the person approves, which the agent passes on without seeing a card), and declare it on a door of your own. Until then, a link to your own checkout counts partly.

    What counts: UCP payment handlers, ACP delegated payment, AP2 or x402 on a door, or a pay or checkout tool. paymentAccepted in your markup, payment terms in words or a checkout link count partly.

  2. Publish what you offer, with prices, for machines (+6 points)

    Mark up each product, service or menu item with an Offer that has a price and a currency, on a page linked from your homepage.

    Guide

    More

    An assistant compares what you offer and what it costs before it suggests you.

    What counts: list_services, list_products, search_shop_catalog. schema.org Product, Service, Menu or MenuItem with an Offer price and currency, on pages we read; a UCP catalog.

  3. Let agents change a booking or an order (+12 points)

    Add reschedule_booking or update_order next to the tool that creates the booking or the order.

    Guide

    More

    Plans change; if an agent can't move a booking or change an order, the customer has to call, or cancels.

    Add a tool such as reschedule_booking or update_order on the door that takes the booking or the order.

    What counts: reschedule_booking, update_booking, change_reservation, update_order, modify_order, PATCH /bookings/{id}, PATCH /orders/{id}. An inbox that takes bookings or orders.

  4. Let agents cancel (+12 points)

    Add cancel_booking or cancel_order next to the tool that creates it, and state your cancellation terms in words.

    Guide

    More

    A cancellation an agent can make frees the slot or stops the order at once, instead of becoming a no-show.

    Add a tool such as cancel_booking or cancel_order on the door that takes the booking or the order, and state your cancellation terms in words.

    What counts: cancel_booking, cancel_order, cancel_membership, DELETE /bookings/{id}, DELETE /orders/{id}. An inbox that takes bookings or orders.

  5. Publish your terms for machines (+6 points)

    Write your cancellation, deposit and no-show terms in one plain sentence next to the booking or order button, and on the policy page your footer links to.

    Guide

    More

    Agents check the terms before they commit their person.

    What counts: get_policies. MerchantReturnPolicy markup, or a policy page linked from your pages that states its terms in words, such as "free cancellation up to 24 hours before".

Ordered by agentic score, then the most recent check. This is not the directory's search order, which nobody can pay to change. Leaderboards

Your AI can do it too (how). Checking a site is not claiming it: its owner alone can change this page. Stop all crawling of your site.

This is not a certification: it is what our crawler read on startupignition.com's own site and doors on 2026-11-02, scored by the published rules. Nobody can pay for a score or a place.

Evidence: declared — the business's own site or door says so; tested — our own read of its door saw it listed in the 7 days before this check. We have not tried it.
