What changed
Your next customer is asking AI what to buy.
Shoppers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Meta's Muse what to buy. Most trust the answer and buy what it recommends.
AI-referred shoppers are 54–60% more likely to convert than traditional retail traffic.

The catch
AI shoppers can't buy from you. And you can't even tell.
-
Waitlisted
ChatGPT lets Shopify and Etsy stores in automatically. Everyone else waits. Google picks who gets checkout in AI Mode.
-
Misquoted
Assistants read a copy of your catalog that's days old, so they push products you've sold out of at prices you've changed.
-
Invisible
When AI does send you a buyer, your analytics call it Direct. You can't tell what's working or what you're missing.
Why now
AI traffic to US retail is forecast to grow 130% this holiday season.

- Today Connect your store and go live in the chat.
- Early November Lots of stores freeze site changes for the holidays.
- Black Friday Shoppers buy from whichever stores their assistant can actually sell.
- December The holiday rush. If an agent can't sell your products, you'll never even see the sale you lost.
It costs you nothing until an agent makes a sale.
What merchants try today
Every other way in makes you wait or pay.
- Wait for your platform Each platform is building its own route, for its own stores, on its own schedule. Black Friday won't wait for the roadmap.
- Expensive monthly fees Agent exports are sold as enterprise contracts, with a monthly bill before the channel has proved anything.
- Pay for a tracker Visibility tools charge $29 to $700 a month to count mentions, but they still can't take orders.
- Check by hand Typing the same product questions into ChatGPT and Perplexity every week, and still not knowing why a competitor got picked.

Add your catalog to the AI assistants your customers already use.
Your products become purchasable in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Meta's Muse, plus third-party shopping agents that connect to OpenMerchant.
Get picked
See where every product ranks. Then climb.
An assistant picks one product per question. It weighs price, stock, shipping, reviews and how well the product is described. Ad spend doesn't buy the spot, so a small store with sharp listings can beat a big brand.
- See every AI search each product shows up in, and where it placed against competing stores.
- We fill in the details assistants match on.
- We test titles, descriptions and photos with assistants and keep what gets each product recommended.
Pricing
We get paid when you do.
2%of completed agent sales. That's the only fee.
- No monthly fee
- No card to sign up
- Free to connect and publish
- No agent sale, no charge
Questions merchants ask
- Do I need a developer?
- No. If you can type your website address, you can set it up. Your checkout, payments and order system stay as they are.
- We freeze our site in November. Can we still do this?
- Yes. Setup changes no theme or checkout code, so nothing on your live site moves.
- Which platforms work?
- Any website, including Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace and Wix, or your Stripe catalog.
- I'm on Shopify. Why add this?
- Shopify's channels only reach the assistants Shopify partners with. OpenMerchant puts the same catalog in front of every agent we connect to, not just Shopify's picks, and shows you where each product ranks against competing stores.
- What if an agent gets the order wrong?
- Price and stock are checked live from your store at the moment of purchase, so agents sell from the same numbers your site shows.
- Who handles fraud, disputes and refunds?
- Payments run through your own Stripe account, so its usual fraud and dispute handling applies. Refunds go through your payment provider, exactly as they do today.
Your money, your control
Every sale goes straight into your Stripe account.
- Money settles to your own Stripe account. We never hold it.
- You stay the merchant of record, and orders land in the system you use today.
- Price and stock come live from your own store, not a copy.
