let ai agents buy from my website
On this page
Your store can accept orders from AI agents that buy for a person, and you decide which products they may buy. The Integrator charges 0% fee during the pilot. Payments settle on Base and Tempo, and a minimum order of $1.00 applies.
What an agent purchase looks like
An agent buys the way a shopper buys. It picks a product, sets a quantity, gives a delivery address, and sends payment. Your store then accepts the order or declines it.
- The agent selects an item from your catalog.
- The agent submits the order with a delivery address.
- Your store confirms the order and ships it.
Each step needs a rule on your side. The catalog needs a list of products open to agents. The order needs limits on size and value. The shipment needs an address check before the goods leave the warehouse.
Decide which products agents can buy
Not every product suits automated buying. Start with items that have clear specifications, stable prices, and low return risk. Digital goods and standard replacement parts often fit that profile. Custom work, limited drops, and high-value items usually need a person to check the order before it ships.
Write the rules down before you open the store to agents. Name the products, the quantity limits, and the countries you ship to. Your checkout then applies the same rules to every buyer, human or agent.
Set limits that protect the store
Agents act quickly and repeat requests. A limit stops one faulty instruction from becoming a large loss. Set a maximum quantity per order and a maximum order value for agent buyers. Require a verified account for products that carry age or licence restrictions.
Keep a record of each agent order, including the agent that placed it. The record shows you which agent bought what and when. Watch for patterns, such as a spike in orders for one product or many orders sent to one address. A pattern like that deserves a pause. Decide in advance who may pause agent orders and how quickly that person responds.
How payment works for the store
The agent pays in USDC stablecoin. Your accounting records should show each payment in that currency and tie it to the matching order. Check this before the first live order, not after the first month of sales.
The Integrator charges 0% fee during the pilot. Add that cost to your margin model before you set prices for agent buyers. Keep one price list for people and agents, so no buyer sees a different total for the same basket.
The Integrator sets a minimum order of $1.00. Check your smallest products against that floor. A product that sells below the minimum cannot reach agents as a single item, so decide whether to bundle it or leave it out of the agent catalog.
Test before you open to agents
Test with your own orders first. Place a small order, confirm the receipt, and check that the stock count falls by the right amount. Then watch the first agent orders closely and compare each one with your rules.
- Confirm that each product rule matches your checkout rules.
- Confirm that your margin model includes the Integrator fee and the minimum order.
- Confirm that you can pause agent orders without delay.
Agent buying is new, so expect edge cases. An agent may order the wrong size or repeat an order it already placed. Decide in advance who answers those cases and how the buyer learns the result. Write that answer into your store policy so every order follows it.
Who handles problems with an agent order
Your store owns the products, so your store answers for them. Write a short policy that covers wrong items, late delivery, and damaged goods. Publish the policy on the store page so every buyer and every agent reads the same terms.
Review the policy after the first month of agent orders. Update any clause that caused confusion. Keep the revised version dated so you can show which terms applied to an earlier order.

FAQ
Does an AI agent need an account on my store?
That depends on your rules. Products with age or licence limits usually need a verified account. Standard items can accept a delivery address and a payment without an account. Write the rule before the first agent arrives.
Which currency do agents pay in?
Agents pay in USDC stablecoin. Your accounting should record each payment in that currency and link it to the matching order.
Can I limit what an agent buys?
Yes. Set a product list, a quantity cap, and an order value cap in your own checkout rules. Start with a short product list and widen it as orders look right.
What does the Integrator cost the store?
The Integrator charges 0% fee during the pilot. The Integrator also sets a minimum order of $1.00, so check that figure against your smallest products.
Where do payments settle?
Payments settle on Base and Tempo. Confirm that your accounting tool reads those records before you open to agent buyers.
