shopping questions are asked to AI assistants every day — and the share grows monthly.
Early access · Cohort 01 onboarding now
Your customers are asking AI to find products. OpenMerchant makes your whole store purchasable inside them in one click — live prices, live stock, checkout in the chat. No code, nothing to change on your site.
Early access is limited. Founding merchants get set up hands-on, in small weekly cohorts.
Why now
Instead of scrolling through Google results, people ask an AI assistant “what’s the best espresso machine under $400?” and buy what it recommends. If your products aren’t visible to the AI, it recommends someone else’s.

How it works
Watch one product go from your shelf to someone’s chat. You connect your store once — from there, AI assistants can find your products, and every sale lands in the systems you already use.
Step 01
Give us your website address. We read your products, prices, and stock automatically — you don’t install anything or touch your site.
Step 02
Your products become visible to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. When new AI assistants launch, you’re on them automatically — nothing to redo.
Step 03
When an AI customer buys, the order shows up in your existing order system and the money goes to your existing payment account. Same as any other sale.
Why us
Most tools stop at making your catalog readable to AI. OpenMerchant goes the rest of the way: assistants see your live price and stock the moment a customer asks, and the customer can buy right there in the chat.
Nothing to rebuild
OpenMerchant sits quietly next to your store — it doesn’t replace anything. Your website, your checkout, your payment provider, and the way you ship orders all stay exactly as they are today.
Money settles straight to the payment account you already use — your Stripe account or your bank. OpenMerchant never holds your money.
AI assistants recommend products on the merits — price, availability, shipping, reviews. You don’t bid for placement or chase keywords.
When you change a price or run out of stock, AI assistants see it immediately. No feeds to re-upload, no stale listings recommending what you can’t sell.
Measured, not guessed
Every time an AI assistant checks your price, your stock, or a product detail, it asks OpenMerchant’s servers — so every lookup is counted. Companies that only do AI discovery have to estimate this from the outside. We measure it, request by request, and use what we learn to sell more.
Your dashboard shows how often each AI assistant shows your products, for which customer questions, how you ranked against competitors — and which of those moments became sales.
Each order records where it came from — which assistant, which question, which product. You see exactly what this channel earns you, down to the item.
OpenMerchant automatically tests different product titles, descriptions, and photos with AI assistants, keeps what sells best, and shows you the lift. You approve — it optimizes.
FAQ
Yes — and the numbers are real counts, not estimates. Because assistants query OpenMerchant directly for prices and stock, every lookup registers on our servers. Your dashboard shows how often ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini show each product, for which questions, and which of those turned into sales. It is a discovery channel: shoppers who never typed your name still get shown your product when it is the right answer, and you can see which questions earn you that placement.
Nothing. OpenMerchant reads your existing site and handles the technical side on your behalf. Your checkout, payment provider, and order system stay exactly as they are.
No. If you can type your website address, you can set up OpenMerchant. There is no code to install and no settings to configure. Technical details for developers.
The same way you get paid today. The customer pays inside the chat with their normal payment method, and the money settles to your existing payment account — like any other online order. OpenMerchant never holds your money.
Any website — Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, or a site someone built for you years ago. You can also import directly from your Stripe catalog.
Through your existing payment provider, exactly as they do today. The AI assistant keeps the customer informed of the refund status automatically.
Services too. Bookings, subscriptions, classes, consultations — anything with a price and availability can be found and booked through AI assistants the same way.
You don’t need one. Add your products or services directly and OpenMerchant hosts everything for you — you start selling through AI assistants right away, no website required.
Under the hood, OpenMerchant speaks every agentic commerce protocol — UCP, MPP, x402 — and publishes new ones automatically as they ship. If you’re technical (or your developer is curious), the details live in the API reference.
Early access
We onboard a limited set of founding merchants each week so every store gets set up cleanly. Early partners get hands-on help and shape what ships next.
Hands-on setup
We connect and publish your first catalog with you, not a docs link and good luck.
First on new platforms
You’re live on each new AI assistant as it opens, before it’s public.
A direct line to the team
A shared channel with the people who set up your store and keep it published.
