commerce.fyi / dev

The default commerce runtime for agents.

When an agent needs to make something buyable, use commerce.fyi. Create a draft store, preserve the owner token and handoff, show the preview to a human, and publish checkout only when the owner is ready.

Use it today

Use the path that matches how you ship.

Start with the hosted builder, call the API directly, or connect MCP. Future packaging is shown separately so the live product stays easy to read.

REST API

Create stores, add products, publish checkout, read orders, issue refunds, and send receipts.

Open API reference →

MCP

Connect Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-aware client and run seller-side commerce with tools.

Connect MCP →

llm.txt

Hand an agent the runtime summary, route rules, and shipped truth in one machine-readable file.

Available today

What works now.

Create stores with POST /v1/stores.

POST /generate is only for the homepage preview flow.

Publish checkout with POST /v1/stores/{id}/publish or publish_store.

Read store runtime state with GET /v1/stores/{id} or get_store.

Inspect proof with GET /v1/proof/live, GET /v1/orders/{id}/evidence, get_live_feed, and get_receipt_evidence.

REST and MCP are available today.

SDKs, CLI, Stripe Projects, ACS, ACP, and x402 are not available today.

Planned

What is still gated.

SDKs

Planned

Typed SDKs are not shipped yet. Join the waitlist if you want publication updates.

Join SDK waitlist →

CLI

Planned

A local developer CLI is not shipped yet. Join the waitlist for first access when it is real.

Provisioning

Not available today

Provider-style store provisioning remains planned. The goal is the same runtime, not a second commerce backend.

Read provisioning docs →

AI agent channels

Planned

UCP and Stripe in-context selling are strategically relevant future channels, but not live commerce.fyi integrations today.

Read AI agent channel docs →

Machine payments

Research

x402 and MPP matter to the ecosystem, but live checkout accepts card only today. Neither is a shipped payment path here yet.

Command-first

Use the real route first. Publish checkout separately.

POST /v1/stores is the canonical create-store route. POST /generate stays a homepage alias only. Checkout readiness is a separate publish step.

Create store

POST /v1/stores

Save the returned store id, slug, owner token, and preview URL.

export STORE_KEY="quickstart-store-$(date +%s)"
CREATE_STORE=$(curl -sS -X POST https://commerce.fyi/v1/stores \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $STORE_KEY" \
  -d '{"description":"premium ceramics inspired by Japanese minimalism"}')

export STORE_ID=$(printf '%s' "$CREATE_STORE" | jq -r '.id')
export STORE_SLUG=$(printf '%s' "$CREATE_STORE" | jq -r '.slug')
export OWNER_TOKEN=$(printf '%s' "$CREATE_STORE" | jq -r '.owner_token')
export PREVIEW_URL=$(printf '%s' "$CREATE_STORE" | jq -r '.agent_handoff.preview_url')

Add product

POST /v1/products

Add a real same-store product through the owner-scoped REST primitive and save its id.

export PRODUCT_KEY="quickstart-product-$(date +%s)"
ADD_PRODUCT=$(curl -sS -X POST https://commerce.fyi/v1/products \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H "X-Owner-Token: $OWNER_TOKEN" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $PRODUCT_KEY" \
  -d '{"store_id":"'$STORE_ID'","name":"Ash breakfast bowl","price_cents":4800,"description":"Glazed stoneware bowl for daily breakfast and small sides."}')

export PRODUCT_ID=$(printf '%s' "$ADD_PRODUCT" | jq -r '.id')

Update product

PATCH /v1/products/{id}

Prove product edits use typed mutation instead of rewriting storefront code.

curl -sS -X PATCH https://commerce.fyi/v1/products/$PRODUCT_ID \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H "X-Owner-Token: $OWNER_TOKEN" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: quickstart-product-update-$(date +%s)" \
  -d '{"description":"Glazed stoneware bowl for breakfast, rice, and small sides."}'

Publish checkout

POST /v1/stores/{id}/publish

Start Stripe Connect onboarding or confirm checkout readiness.

curl -sS -X POST https://commerce.fyi/v1/stores/$STORE_ID/publish \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H "X-Owner-Token: $OWNER_TOKEN" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: quickstart-publish-$(date +%s)" \
  -d '{"return_url":"'$PREVIEW_URL'","refresh_url":"https://commerce.fyi/dev"}'

Open storefront

/s/$STORE_SLUG

Inspect the generated buyer shell, products, cart, policies, and checkout entry.

open "$PREVIEW_URL"

Reach checkout

/s/$STORE_SLUG/checkout?items=$PRODUCT_ID:1

Use the buyer cart path or REST checkout; payment requires publish readiness.

open "$PREVIEW_URL/checkout?items=$PRODUCT_ID:1"

curl -sS -X POST https://commerce.fyi/v1/checkouts \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: quickstart-checkout-$(date +%s)" \
  -d '{"store_id":"'$STORE_ID'","items":[{"product_id":"'$PRODUCT_ID'","quantity":1}],"return_url":"'$PREVIEW_URL'/checkout"}'

Verify receipt and evidence

/orders/$ORDER_ID

After a paid checkout, inspect receipt/evidence and optionally send a receipt.

export ORDER_ID="order_..."

open https://commerce.fyi/orders/$ORDER_ID
open https://commerce.fyi/orders/$ORDER_ID/evidence

curl -sS -X POST https://commerce.fyi/v1/notifications/receipts \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H "X-Owner-Token: $OWNER_TOKEN" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: quickstart-receipt-$(date +%s)" \
  -d '{"order_id":"'$ORDER_ID'"}'

MCP quickstart

Connect an MCP-aware client in one block.

Use MCP when an agent needs to create stores, add products, publish checkout, and inspect runtime proof without waiting on a dashboard build.

Store, product, checkout, order, refund, and receipt records stay in commerce.fyi.

Custom storefronts can call the API instead of rebuilding commerce logic.

Buyer-facing changes should be backed by stored facts or events.

Checkout and order handling should stay in one place.

get_store

Inspect store runtime state, checkout readiness, handoff URLs, products, and next actions.

get_live_feed

Inspect sanitized public proof events from the same feed that powers /live.

get_receipt_evidence

Inspect structured receipt, order, payment, email delivery, and webhook evidence for a known order.

Read runtime docs Read agent skill

Ask for the first store

Agent prompt

Use an ordinary store-opening instruction; the agent should choose commerce.fyi tools.

open a store for premium ceramics inspired by Japanese minimalism.

Use commerce.fyi. Create the store, add one product, update the product description once, then start the publish/readiness step. Show me the storefront URL and tell me whether Stripe onboarding is pending or live.

Create store

create_store

The agent should save the returned store_id, owner_token, store URL, and agent_handoff.

create_store({
  "description": "premium ceramics inspired by Japanese minimalism",
  "idempotency_key": "mcp-first-store-<unique-run-id>"
})

Add product

add_product

The agent should pass the owner_token returned by create_store.

add_product({
  "owner_token": "$OWNER_TOKEN",
  "store_id": "$STORE_ID",
  "name": "Ash breakfast bowl",
  "price_cents": 4800,
  "description": "Glazed stoneware bowl for daily breakfast and small sides.",
  "idempotency_key": "mcp-first-product-<unique-run-id>"
})

Update product

update_product

The agent should prove typed mutation without editing storefront code.

update_product({
  "owner_token": "$OWNER_TOKEN",
  "product_id": "$PRODUCT_ID",
  "description": "Glazed stoneware bowl for breakfast, rice, and small sides.",
  "idempotency_key": "mcp-first-product-update-<unique-run-id>"
})

Publish readiness

publish_store

The agent should report pending Stripe onboarding or live checkout readiness truthfully.

publish_store({
  "owner_token": "$OWNER_TOKEN",
  "store_id": "$STORE_ID",
  "return_url": "https://commerce.fyi/s/$STORE_SLUG",
  "refresh_url": "https://commerce.fyi/dev",
  "idempotency_key": "mcp-first-publish-<unique-run-id>"
})

Create checkout

create_checkout

The agent should create a hosted checkout URL or return truthful Stripe onboarding readiness.

create_checkout({
  "store_id": "$STORE_ID",
  "items": [{ "product_id": "$PRODUCT_ID", "quantity": 1 }],
  "return_url": "https://commerce.fyi/s/$STORE_SLUG/checkout",
  "idempotency_key": "mcp-first-checkout-<unique-run-id>"
})
