Is your store ready for AI shopping agents?
Get your UCP Readiness Score. In about a minute, see how prepared your store is for AI Mode, Gemini, ChatGPT, and other AI shopping surfaces to discover, understand, and buy from you. When an agent cannot transact with you, it buys from the store next to you that it can.
What is the Universal Commerce Protocol?
UCP is an open standard, launched in January 2026 by Google and Shopify, that gives AI shopping agents a single common language to discover your products, understand your prices and policies, and complete a purchase, directly inside AI surfaces, without sending the shopper back to your website. Think of it as HTTP for commerce. You stay the merchant of record: pricing, inventory, fulfillment, and the customer relationship remain yours.
The early-adopter window is open
An agent, the protocol, and your store
UCP connects an AI agent to your store through a public profile you publish at /.well-known/ucp. That profile declares which capabilities you support, which transports you speak (REST, MCP, or Agent2Agent), and how payment is handled. Payment credentials are held by a separate provider and settled by a payment processor, so the agent never handles raw card data and you never become a card processor.

What UCP readiness actually requires
A grade is not just about publishing a file. To let an agent buy with confidence, the commerce underneath has to hold up:
Backed by the biggest names in retail and payments
UCP launched with 20+ endorsers across retail, commerce platforms, and payment networks.
Early Shopify brands live on UCP include Gymshark, Monos, Everlane, Keen, and Pura Vida.

Frequently asked
What is the Universal Commerce Protocol?+
UCP is an open standard, launched in January 2026 by Google and Shopify, that gives AI shopping agents one common way to discover products, read prices and policies, and complete a purchase directly inside AI surfaces. You remain the merchant of record.
What is a UCP Readiness Score?+
It is a live audit of the commerce signals your store exposes to an agent. It grades you on Discovery, Conformance, and Capability, gives a separate ACP checkout grade, and lists every fix. It takes about a minute.
Why does readiness matter right now?+
Under 0.1% of stores are UCP-ready while AI-driven retail traffic is up 693% year over year. The stores ready now are first in line for native agent checkout. Agents transact with the merchants that support them and skip the ones that do not.
Are big retailers already UCP-ready?+
The largest are moving first. Walmart, Target, Wayfair, and others are early, and Shopify serves a UCP profile for its stores automatically. Most mid-market and smaller stores are not ready yet, which is the opening.
What does the report include?+
A UCP grade and an ACP grade, the three category scores, the capabilities your store exposes, technical vitals, and every check with the exact issue and how to fix it.
Do you help fix the issues?+
Yes. The report is the first step. We can implement the fixes and re-test so you can watch the score move.
