Make sure AI agents can buy from you

Shopping agents now compare products, check stock and fill carts for people. If they can't read your prices, pick a size or reach checkout, they buy from someone who's easier to use. Ghost Agent Lab shows you which agents visit, proves they can buy, and tells you what to fix.

Where agents get stuck

The places stores lose agent sales

A store can work perfectly for people while agents fail without a trace in your analytics.

Bot protection and CAPTCHAs

Rules that stop scrapers also stop the AI assistants shopping for your customers, often only on product or cart pages.

Prices and stock agents can't see

Prices, sizes and availability that only appear after JavaScript runs are invisible to most agents.

Variant pickers and buttons

Custom size and color swatches, and “Add to cart” buttons with no readable name, stop agents mid-task.

Pop-ups and cookie banners

An overlay that a person closes in a second can hide the checkout button from an agent completely.

Account walls at checkout

Forced sign-up ends the journey. Guest checkout keeps agents, and their shoppers, moving.

Peak-season changes

Tighter bot rules, sale prices and code freezes before the holidays break agent journeys at the worst time.

FAQ

Questions

Do AI agents really shop?

They're starting to. ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and browser agents already research products, compare prices and fill carts for people, and the big platforms are building ways for agents to pay. The stores agents can use get considered; the rest quietly drop out.

Will this slow down my store or add a script?

No. We read the access logs your CDN or server already keeps, so there's nothing to add to your pages and nothing for shoppers to load.

Will Ghost Agents place real orders?

No. They stop at the payment form, never enter card details, and refuse buttons that place orders or pay. Checkout tests prove an agent can get all the way to payment.

Does it work with Shopify?

Yes. Send logs from your CDN, and connect your Shopify orders to see revenue from AI referrals and agent orders on Growth and above.
