Know the operator behind the shopping agent.

KnowYourAgent links registered agents to operator profiles, checks orders against signed purchase limits, and records the results for merchant review.

/ 01Our mission

Who authorized this purchase?

When an agent places an order, your team needs to know which operator registered it and what purchase limits were supplied.

The operator registers an agent and requests a signed trace. The merchant integration checks the agent and compares the order with that trace. An operator-issued trace records the operator’s instructions; it does not independently verify buyer consent.

  • AID
    Operator-linked identity

    A registered agent has an operator profile. Registration does not by itself verify the business.

  • TXG
    Checkout checks

    Check the agent’s identity, then compare the order with the signed trace. Each check returns a result and reasons.

  • LOG
    Traceable records

    Link verification and checkout-session records to an order so your team can review the decision.

/ 02The problem

Three questions to resolve at checkout.

Use agent identity, purchase limits, and order records alongside your existing fraud checks.

/ 01

No operator on file

An order may arrive without a registered agent identity or an operator your team can contact.

/ 02

Missing purchase limits

An agent identity alone does not tell your store which actions or spending limit the operator authorized.

/ 03

Incomplete order records

If the checks and their results are not saved with the order, support has less information to review a complaint.

About KYA.

What is KnowYourAgent?

KYA checks registered shopping agents and records checkout decisions. Agent registration links an agent to an operator profile. A separate signed trace supplies the purchase limits for a checkout check.

Why do merchants need to verify shopping agents?

A store needs to identify the agent and check the purchase limits supplied by its operator. KYA adds these checks to the information your store already uses to review an order.
