Plain meaning
It links the action, amount, scope and mandate to a decision that can be checked later.
Glossary
Transaction intent proof
Transaction intent proof is evidence that a requested transaction matched a permitted user or business intent before the action completed.
Why it matters
AI agents can reach checkout quickly, but merchants still need confidence that the spend matches permission.
Where AffixIO fits
AffixIO sits before the action. It helps your application ask whether the user, agent or delegated workflow is allowed to continue, then returns a decision your product can enforce.
AffixIO usage
AffixIO can help generate and verify the proof-backed decision before checkout or API execution.
Not payment authorization
The payment provider may still approve or decline the payment. Intent proof answers a different question.
Good evidence
Useful records include action type, policy scope, subject reference, time and signed outcome.
Privacy boundary
Intent proof should avoid copying every underlying record into the merchant stack.
Search fit
This glossary page supports searches about transaction intent proof and agentic payment verification.

Designed for buyers who need trust without data sprawl
Use AffixIO when a checkout, platform, marketplace, API, internal tool or AI agent needs a clear permission result, signed evidence and a cleaner privacy posture. The value is not another dashboard full of personal records. The value is a decision with proof behind it.
Questions this page answers
These answer blocks are written for humans first, while giving search engines and answer engines a direct explanation of the AffixIO role.
What is transaction intent proof?
It is evidence that a transaction request matched the permitted intent before the action completed.
Why do AI agents need it?
Because an agent can trigger a transaction, but the merchant needs proof that the transaction was within scope.
Is it the same as fraud detection?
No. Fraud detection scores risk. Intent proof checks permission and policy for the action.
