Is your store ready for AI checkout?
Fewer than 0.1% of stores are ready for the Universal Commerce Protocol — Google's standard that lets AI agents find, recommend, and buy your products. Get a free two-layer readiness score: what you can fix today, and what's pilot-gated. No “certification” theater — just an honest checklist.

Where this fits
The action layer of AI Visibility.
AI Visibility has three layers: get found, get recommended, and get acted on. UCP readiness is that third layer — making your catalog something an AI agent can actually buy from, not just mention.
What we score
Two layers. One honest score.
We score your store 0–100 across the half you can fix today and the half that's gated by Google's pilot — so you know exactly what's in your control.
Foundational
Fixable todayWhat any merchant can fix now — the data and trust signals that decide whether agents can see and recommend your catalog at all.
Product & Offer schema
schema.org Product/Offer on live product pages — price, availability, condition machine-readable.
Real-time price & availability
Structured, current data agents can act on — not buried in JavaScript or marketing prose.
Return policy & support
Discoverable MerchantReturnPolicy + a real contact — Merchant-of-Record basics agents require.
Product-data enrichment
Specs, compatibility, substitutions, certifications — the attributes agents reason on to choose you.
Verified reviews
AggregateRating schema and real review velocity — a core agent ranking signal.
Agent crawlability
Product data reachable without executing client-side JS — many agents don't render it.
Protocol

UCP readiness, answered
Quick answers.
What is the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP)?
+
UCP is Google's open standard that lets AI agents discover products, build a cart, and check out from a store on a shopper's behalf — across Google AI Mode, the Gemini app, and third-party agents. It was co-developed with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target, and Walmart and endorsed by 20+ companies including Stripe, PayPal, Mastercard, and Visa. It sits on top of your existing product feed rather than replacing it.
Is my store UCP-ready?
+
Most stores aren't — fewer than 0.1% are. Readiness has two layers. The foundational layer (Product/Offer schema, real-time price and availability, return policy, reviews, and agent-crawlable data) you can fix today. The protocol layer (a valid /.well-known/ucp manifest and Google Merchant Center standing) prepares you for agentic checkout. Our free readiness scan scores both and tells you exactly what to fix.
How do I get my products into Google AI Mode and Gemini shopping?
+
Start with clean, structured product data: Product and Offer schema with machine-readable price and availability, a healthy Google Merchant Center feed with free listings on and zero disapprovals, enriched attributes (specs, compatibility, certifications), and real reviews. That foundational layer is what makes your catalog visible to AI surfaces. The UCP manifest then enables agentic checkout where the pilot is live.
What is /.well-known/ucp?
+
It's the UCP profile file an AI agent fetches to learn how to transact with your store — the services and capabilities you support (catalog search, cart building, checkout, order management), your payment handlers, and your public keys. It must be publicly reachable with no authentication. We author and host it for you as part of protocol-layer setup.
Does UCP only work with Shopify?
+
No. UCP is an open, platform-neutral standard, and any eligible stack can implement it. Shopify and a few other platforms have a faster native path, which can shortcut some of the build — but stores on other platforms can become UCP-ready too. We confirm your platform and map the most direct route during the readiness scan.
Will AI agents take away my customer relationship?
+
No — UCP is designed so you stay the Merchant of Record. You keep the order, the customer data, and the relationship; the agent is simply a new storefront that surfaces and completes the purchase. That's a key reason to get ready now rather than ceding the surface to competitors who do.
