BuyerProtection shows whether a store has public TrustedSite proof and whether BuyerProtection Guaranteed status is active before you pay.

What should I check beyond an ABN?

Use the ABN as one clue, then check business identity, official domain, support, delivery and refund proof, and the current guarantee status.

What should I do when a store says Verified but BuyerProtection says Unknown?

Treat Unknown as a neutral result and ask the store for its public TrustedSite proof before relying on the claim.

Agent integration

One small lane: ask before spending.

An approved purchasing agent can request one order-specific decision. It never upgrades Verified into Guaranteed or checkout into payment.

Two explicit fields

Verified and Guaranteed answer different questions.

The API returns public merchant proof and approved order backing separately, so an agent acts only on the state actually present.
