Verification notes: Re-checked and refined this pass via PayPal's own investor relations page. PayPal's Google UCP support, noted last pass, is confirmed but not yet fully live end-to-end: UCP checkout today uses Google Wallet-stored payment methods, and PayPal's own release describes its availability as a UCP payment option as forthcoming rather than shipped — worth flagging so this isn't read as 'PayPal checkout via UCP is live today.' Separately, UCP itself gained cart support and product-catalog access in a March 2026 update, with checkout live for eligible U.S. merchants and global expansion planned through 2026. No change to PayPal's own Agentic Commerce Initiative claims from the prior pass. Re-checked again this pass: UCP checkout still routes through Google Wallet-stored payment methods only, per current UCP specification pages — PayPal's own status as a UCP payment option remains forthcoming rather than shipped. No flag changes.
