Pay This record is withdrawn as a distinct protocol entry. The "AP2 Checkout Mandate" is not a separate specification: it is one topic page (docs/ap2/checkout_mandate.md) inside the single AP2 specification document tree, defining the Checkout Mandate object and its Checkout Receipt as one of AP2's two Mandate types (the other being the Payment Mandate) [1][2]. It has no independent governance, repository, versioning, or discovery mechanism apart from AP2 itself — it is versioned, donated to FIDO, and maintained exactly as AP2 is. Content and evidence for this concept has been folded into the ap2 record. This id is kept in the dataset only so a reader who encounters "AP2 Checkout Mandate" as a separate name is redirected rather than finding a dead link.
