AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity can now search, compare, and check out products directly from Shopify stores, no browser, no plugin. Most merchants have no idea this exists yet, or whether their store is even visible to it.

What we check

Discoverability— is your catalog actually showing up when an AI agent searches Shopify's Global Catalog
Content richness — are product descriptions detailed enough for an agent to match search intent
Variant completeness — color, size, and option data structured correctly
Checkout eligibility — can an agent actually complete a purchase, or just browse
Visual search readiness — images and media agents can use for multimodal search

Why this matters

Shopify and Google co-launched the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) at NRF 2026, a free, open standard that lets AI agents search, compare, and check out products directly. Discovery is shifting away from search engines and toward AI conversations. The products that show up are the ones structured to be found. Everyone else becomes invisible, no matter how good the store actually is.

This tool checks your store against the real Shopify Global Catalog API and tells you exactly where you stand, free, in about ten seconds.
