- AI agents and stores preparing for agent-led shopping
- Worth noticing
- The page says placement is never for sale and ranks stores by whether orders arrive on time and as described.
Field notes
The homepage gives a sample search request for unscented dog poop bags and names both a JSON API and an MCP endpoint. Its described purchase flow uses a ZIP code to show delivered price and arrival date, then routes the order through one form. Kaupia says the card is authorized before the store confirms, with charges only after confirmation; it also says the store’s own checkout remains available.
