AI Shopping Agent Readiness Checker

Find out whether your store is ready for ChatGPT shopping and other AI shopping agents — product schema, catalog feeds, llms.txt, crawler access and return/shipping policies in one free scan.

Free: free single-URL checks, up to 10 per hour, no sign-up. Best results with a Shopify, WooCommerce or other product-catalog storefront.

An AI shopping agent readiness checker (also called an agentic commerce checker) answers a practical question: if a shopper asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or another assistant to find, compare or buy from you, does your store expose the machine-readable data those agents need? Crawling a pretty HTML theme is not enough when price, availability, GTIN, returns and shipping must be unambiguous.

In October 2026 Walmart announced an Agent Gateway built on MCP so approved agents can search inventory and complete purchases with customer controls. OpenAI documents an Agentic Commerce Protocol product-feed path for ChatGPT product discovery, and merchants can learn more at chatgpt.com/merchants. Stores that already publish complete Product JSON-LD, a readable catalog feed, policy schema and open AI crawlers are far closer to participating in that world.

How to check if your store is ready for ChatGPT shopping

  1. Paste your store URL above (homepage is fine; we discover a product page automatically).
  2. Read the readiness score — each item is marked pass, warn or fail with a short explanation.
  3. Fix the gaps — complete Product fields, expose a feed, publish llms.txt, allow shopping-relevant crawlers, and add return/shipping schema.
  4. Re-check — run the free scan again. For copy-paste JSON-LD, feed and llms.txt templates, unlock the $19 Full Report.

What the free scan checks

1. Product JSON-LD

We find a product page via homepage links, the sitemap or Shopify /products.json, then verify name, price, priceCurrency, availability, sku, gtin/mpn, brand, image and offers.

2. Product feeds

Shopify /products.json, WooCommerce Store API /wp-json/wc/store/products, linked merchant feeds and product sitemaps — whether each exists and is readable.

3. llms.txt

Whether /llms.txt exists and whether it points agents to products and policy pages.

4. AI crawler access

robots.txt plus live requests with shopping-relevant user-agents (reuses our AI crawler checker logic).

5. Machine-readable policies

MerchantReturnPolicy, OfferShippingDetails, Organization contact, and whether return, shipping and contact pages exist.

Why AI shopping agent readiness matters

Agentic commerce is moving from demos to production surfaces. When Walmart opens an MCP ordering path for agents, and when ChatGPT asks merchants for structured product feeds, the winners are stores whose catalogs are already clean: stable IDs, current price and availability, scannable policies and bots that are not blocked by a CDN “block AI bots” toggle.

Even if you are not applying to a partner program tomorrow, the same hygiene helps classic SEO rich results and any assistant that fetches your pages live. Blocking OAI-SearchBot or serving a challenge page to ChatGPT-User means an agent may refuse to trust your price. Missing GTIN or brand makes matching your SKU to a feed row harder. A returns policy buried in a PDF image helps humans who already trust you — not an agent answering “can I return this in 30 days?”

Use this checker as a pre-flight for agentic commerce: fix the technical layer first, then decide which marketplaces, feeds or MCP integrations to join. Pair it with our structured data checker for Review/FAQ detail and the llms.txt checker for the summary file format.

FAQ

What is AI shopping agent readiness?

AI shopping agent readiness means a store publishes the machine-readable product data, feeds, policies and crawler access that AI shopping agents need to discover products, quote accurate prices and answer return or shipping questions — without only scraping a human webpage.

What is an agentic commerce checker?

An agentic commerce checker tests the technical signals agents rely on: Product JSON-LD completeness, catalog feeds (for example Shopify /products.json or WooCommerce Store API), llms.txt, AI crawler access, and MerchantReturnPolicy / shipping schema.

Is my store ready for ChatGPT shopping?

ChatGPT shopping discovery is powered by structured product data and, for many merchants, a product feed via the Agentic Commerce Protocol. This checker reports whether your store already exposes the on-site building blocks agents look for. Shopify and Etsy catalogs may already be integrated for ChatGPT product discovery; other platforms usually need a feed and complete on-page schema.

Does this submit my catalog to ChatGPT or Walmart?

No. The scan only fetches your public pages and feeds from our servers and returns a readiness score. It does not apply to OpenAI, Walmart or any partner program on your behalf.

Is the AI shopping agent readiness check free?

Yes: free single-URL checks, up to 10 per hour, no sign-up. Detailed copy-paste fix snippets are included in the one-time $19 Full Report.
