Agentic

Open Agentic. People ask AI assistants, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to find things to buy. With Let AI assistants shop your store on (it is on for every store), an assistant can look in your store for the shopper:

• learn what your store sells, its currency, collections and which policies you have written;
• search your products, as your store’s search does, and read a product: its description, options, every variant’s price and whether it is in stock, and its pictures;
• read your refund, shipping, privacy, terms of service or legal notice policy;
• read the facts you published under What assistants should know;
• give the shopper a link that opens your store with what they chose in the cart, to check out there.

Assistants see only what anyone sees in your store: products that are active and listed, in your market’s prices. They never see your customers or orders, never reserve stock and never pay; prices and stock are checked again at checkout. While your store has a password, they find nothing.

Untick the box to stop: your store’s address for assistants then answers nothing. Your pages, your sitemap and llms.txt stay as they are.

Your store’s address for assistants

When it is on, the page shows your store’s address for assistants, ending in /mcp, with Copy address. It is an MCP server: assistants and shopping apps connect to it. To try it yourself, add it in Claude as a custom connector and ask for something you sell. Assistants that only read pages find your store in its llms.txt.

What assistants will find

What assistants will find is a short list to finish: whether you have products for sale, whether each has a description, whether your refund and shipping policies are written, and whether you have published any facts. Each line that is not done links to where you fix it.

What assistants should know

Add the facts you want assistants to quote: what you sell, where you deliver, how to reach you. Add fact asks for what it is about, a question and your answer, and suggests the usual questions. Tick Assistants can read this to publish it, or leave it as a draft. Published facts appear in llms.txt and at your store’s address for assistants. Delete asks before it removes a fact.

What assistants did

For the last 30 days, a table shows each assistant, as far as it says who it is: how often it asked your store, the visits and orders that came from it, and their sales. Under it are the counts by kind (Searched products, Read a product, Made a cart link and so on). No shopper is identified.

Orders from AI assistants shows the orders of the last 30 days whose visit came from an AI assistant: a cart link counts as one, and so does a visit from an assistant’s own pages (see Attribution).

Who can change it

Everyone on your team sees the page; owners and admins turn it on or off.
