Adoption

Current integration status of the Automotive Commerce Protocol across AI platforms, CRM systems, and DMS providers. This page is updated as vendors achieve conformance milestones. Last updated: February 2025.

Note: ACP v1.0.0 was published in February 2025. Adoption tracking begins at specification release. Vendors listed below have either achieved conformance or communicated integration timelines to the ACP Foundation.

These numbers will grow as the specification gains traction. The Foundation does not inflate adoption claims. Only vendors who have passed conformance testing or formally communicated integration plans are listed.

AI Platform Producers

Platforms that generate ACP envelopes from customer interactions.

Additional AI platforms evaluating ACP integration will be listed as they communicate timelines to the Foundation.

CRM Receivers

CRM systems that receive and ingest ACP envelopes.

All CRM systems currently receive ADF-XML from AI platforms. ACP adoption eliminates the 89% data loss inherent in ADF-XML conversion. The Migration Guide provides dual-output patterns for transitional deployments.

DMS Platforms

Dealer Management Systems that may integrate with ACP for deal state synchronization.

Conformance Tiers

The ACP Foundation defines three conformance tiers. Each tier has specific technical requirements and earns a corresponding badge for public use.

Tier 1 — Certified
ACP Conformant
Full schema compliance with validated test suite results.
  • Passes 100% of conformance test suite
  • Schema validation on all envelopes
  • Correct snapshot/delta handling
  • All required fields populated
  • Proper error code responses
  • Annual recertification required
Tier 2 — Compatible
ACP Compatible
Accepts or produces ACP envelopes with partial field coverage.
  • Passes core conformance tests
  • Supports required fields
  • May not support all optional objects
  • Dual-output (ACP + ADF) acceptable
  • Biennial recertification
Tier 3 — Aware
ACP Aware
Can parse ACP envelopes and extract core fields, even if not fully conformant.
  • Parses acp, lead.contact, vehicle_interests
  • Ignores unknown fields without error
  • No conformance test suite required
  • Self-reported status

Certification Process

  1. Self-test: Run your implementation against the ACP Validation Tool and the conformance test suite published in the GitHub repository.
  2. Submit results: File a conformance claim at conformance@acpspec.org with test output, implementation details, and envelope samples.
  3. Review: A Foundation steward reviews the submission within 30 days.
  4. Certification: On approval, the vendor is listed on this page and granted badge usage rights for the certified tier.

There is no fee for conformance certification.

Badge Usage

Certified vendors may use the corresponding badge in their documentation, marketing materials, and integration directories:

✓ ACP v1.0 Conformant
◔ ACP v1.0 Compatible
◯ ACP v1.0 Aware

Badge usage requires conformance at the claimed tier. Misuse of conformance marks is a trademark violation. Badges must reference the specific ACP version (e.g., "v1.0").
