x402 settles one signed payment for one resource. Real commerce needs a cart, an identified buyer, and a way to send money back. This paper specifies the three primitives Facet layered above the spec to close that gap, why the gap is real and not already closed by an existing scheme, and how the whole loop was proven end to end on Base mainnet with real USDC.
A single spoken request searched the Facet directory, then completed one purchase from a Shopify merchant and one from a WooCommerce merchant. Both orders settled through Boson Protocol escrow directly to each merchant's own treasury wallet — Facet was never in the custody path.
Six non-custodial AI agent purchases settled on Base Sepolia ahead of the x402B mainnet launch. The merchant wallet received funds directly via on-chain settlement in every case.
