Find the right product

Provide accurate public records and test whether a selected agent can discover the relevant item.

Understand the store

Keep product details, variants, availability and buying conditions connected to the same merchant source.

Act with permission

Prepare supported actions and require explicit customer authorization before a purchase proceeds.

Explore the agent buying journey.

Four capabilities. Each needs its own test.

Capability to verify

Can a relevant agent find the product?

Give the product an accessible public identity. Then test whether the selected agent can reach the correct record.

Evidence to inspect
Public product pages, access rules and discoverable records.
A concrete test
Find the intended item from a specific shopping request.

Public access does not guarantee indexing or a recommendation.

Reading a store is only the beginning.

Discovery, understanding, preparation and purchase require different evidence. One successful layer does not prove the next.

Presentation can change. Product facts and buying conditions stay grounded.

Illustrative record. No merchant data is connected.

Make the facts
understandable.

The agent needs a consistent account of what the merchant sells and the conditions of buying it.

  • Connect the product to the correct variant.
  • Keep price and availability current.
  • Make delivery and return conditions clear.
  • Verify the selected agent interprets the record correctly.

The customer
authorizes the purchase.

Preparing a cart is not permission to buy. A supported purchase needs a reviewable product, quantity, total, delivery and action scope.

  • Present the intended action clearly.
  • Obtain the customer’s required permission.
  • Use a compatible payment and order flow.
  • Verify the resulting order before reporting success.

A narrow journey.
A result we can verify.

Start with one merchant, a selected agent and a specific shopping request. Prove each required step before expanding.

Evidence to verify
“Find the right option. Check the delivery conditions. Ask me before buying.”

Define the product source, the supported action interface and the customer’s authorization model together.

The useful outcome is evidence: the correct record, the correct action and, where a purchase is supported and approved, a verified order result.

Merchant control

The store defines product truth and the actions it permits.

Customer scope

Permission covers the reviewed action through a supported flow.

A verifiable result

Confirmed outcomes are distinct from prepared or unsupported actions.

Choose what
supports the journey.

Public records, merchant feeds, storefront APIs and agent tools can serve different parts of the flow. The integration follows the use case.

Support depends on the agent, platform, payment flow and authorization model.
