(maybe both?)
When reaching an agreement:
It's a deal.
You got a deal.

You got yourself a deal.
You've got yourself a deal.
We got a deal.
We've got a deal.

When giving someone(s) your blessing:
You have my blessing.
You have my blessings.
You have our blessing.
You have our blessings.
(maybe 'You have my blessing.' & 'You have our blessings.'?)

(maybe the 1st one?)
When saying that you have an issue or some issues to argue:
