Agent-ready e-commerce and retail
Let ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini find products, build carts, and check out on your storefront, inside the shopper's own logged-in session.
Shopping is shifting from tabs and clicks to a single instruction: “find me a warm waterproof jacket under 150 and buy it.” When a shopper says that to an assistant, the agent has to act somewhere. Today it either scrapes your HTML, guesses at your buttons, and gives up at the first modal, or it quietly sends the sale to a competitor whose store it can actually operate.
An agent-ready store removes that friction. Instead of forcing an assistant to read pixels, you hand it a clean, structured set of actions it can call directly.
What an agent can do on an agent-ready store
With Agent Layer, your key retail flows become real tools an assistant can invoke, not screens it has to interpret:
- Search and filter your catalog by size, color, price, and availability, and get back structured results instead of a scraped page.
- Build a cart across one or several products, with the right variant selected every time.
- Apply promo codes and gift cards, then read back the updated total.
- Check out in the shopper’s own session, using their saved address and payment method, so no card data ever passes through the agent or through us.
Why raw HTML is not enough
Most storefronts render prices, stock, and buttons only after JavaScript runs, behind carousels, cookie banners, and cart drawers. An assistant that fetches your raw HTML sees almost none of it, and one that tries to click through a live page breaks the moment your layout changes.
If an agent cannot reliably complete the purchase, the shopper does not retry on your site. They accept whatever store the assistant can operate.
Structured tools sidestep all of it. The agent calls search_products or add_to_cart and gets a dependable result, no matter how your front end is built.
What Agent Layer exposes for retail
| Shopper intent | Tool the agent calls |
|---|---|
| “Find running shoes in size 42” | Product search with structured filters |
| “Add two of these to my cart” | Add to cart with the correct variant |
| “Use my welcome code” | Apply discount and return the new total |
| “Place the order” | Checkout inside the shopper’s session |
| “Where is my order?” | Order status lookup |
You choose which flows to expose and which to keep human-only. Everything else on your site stays exactly as it is.
Guardrails built for commerce
Selling through an agent does not mean losing control. Every tool runs behind your rules:
- Schema validation on every input, so an agent can never submit a malformed or out-of-range order.
- Allow and deny rules per action, so you decide what is callable and what is not.
- Human confirmation on high-risk steps like final payment, when you want a person in the loop.
- Session-scoped execution: the agent acts inside the shopper’s authenticated browser session, so credentials and card details never reach Agent Layer.
