About AI Store Shopper
AI Store Shopper performs a simulated shopping trip using a browser-driven AI agent to evaluate whether an online store is accessible to automated shoppers. The tool tests four key areas: findability from the homepage to a product page, readability of product details such as price and stock, ability to add items to the cart, and reachability of the checkout page. The walk stops at checkout without placing orders or entering payment details. The service provides a detailed report with grades for each tested area, the full walk log, and plain-language fixes for any issues found. The report is based on a versioned rubric and includes machine-readable proof for Shopify stores via the UCP manifest. The tool is designed for store owners or developers to identify and resolve barriers that prevent AI assistants from successfully navigating their store.

Who is this tool designed for?
The tool is designed for store owners, developers, or anyone responsible for an online store. It helps identify barriers that prevent AI assistants like ChatGPT or Perplexity from successfully navigating and purchasing from a store.
Does AI Store Shopper require any setup or access to my store?
No setup, login, admin access, or app installation is required. The agent browses your public storefront as an authorized visitor under the identity 'AIStoreShopperCheck/1.0' and strictly follows your store's robots.txt rules.
What do I get in the report?
The report includes grades for each of the four tested areas, the full walk log showing how the AI agent navigated your store, plain-language fixes for any issues found, and machine-readable proof for Shopify stores via the UCP manifest.
Is this a certification or guarantee that my store will convert AI traffic?
No, it is not a certification or guarantee. It is a dated snapshot of one walk under a versioned rubric, showing whether an AI shopper can buy from your store on the day of the test. It does not promise that AI traffic will convert.
What happens if my store passes all the tests?
If your store passes all tests, the report will confirm this with grades, the walk log, and details on what your store does right. This provides assurance that an AI shopper can navigate and reach checkout on your store.
