UNIVERSAL COMMERCE PROTOCOL
The Universal Commerce Protocol is your store's interface for AI shopping agents — a machine-readable manifest that tells agents what you sell and how to interact with your catalog.
AI agents find your product catalog through a standardized manifest at a well-known URL, eliminating guesswork and ensuring every product is surfaced.
Structured product data — prices, availability, images, and variants — served in a format AI agents can parse instantly without scraping.
Facilitate cart and checkout flows so AI agents can complete purchases on behalf of consumers, turning recommendations into revenue.
A UCP manifest is a JSON document served at a well-known URL on your domain. It tells AI shopping agents what your store sells, where to find product data, and how to interact with your catalog programmatically.
