AI commerce is buying and selling through AI assistants instead of traditional search - and to show up, sellers need machine-readable product data (feeds, APIs, MCP) that AI systems can read and trust. Pludor publishes every store's live products automatically as an AI shopping feed, a knowledge API and an MCP server, so any product with a real image and price is discoverable by AI assistants with no extra work.
AI commerce is buying and selling where people ask an AI assistant instead of searching: "find me a birthday gift under $40", "book a detailer near me on Saturday". For a seller it means product data an AI can read and trust - prices, stock, descriptions - in formats AI systems use. Pludor publishes every store's live products as an AI shopping feed, a knowledge API and an MCP server, and shoppers can buy through Pludor's own AI chat.
AI commerce is buying and selling where people ask an AI assistant instead of searching - like "find me a birthday gift under $40". For sellers it means having product data an AI can read and trust: prices, stock and descriptions in formats AI systems use. Pludor publishes every store's live products as an AI shopping feed, a knowledge API and an MCP server automatically.
You need machine-readable product data that AI systems can find and trust. List each product with a real image, accurate title, description and price, and keep stock status current, because AI systems repeat what you publish. On Pludor this happens automatically - every product with a real image and price is included in the AI shopping feed, no extra setup.
Mostly not yet - external AI agents are read-only today, meaning they can search and read products but can't check out on a shopper's behalf. On Pludor, shoppers can buy through Pludor's own AI chat, which always asks before it spends. So focus first on making your products readable and comparable by AI.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that lets AI clients like Claude call tools on your site - for example, search products or get product details. Without it, an AI assistant can't reliably query your live catalog. Every Pludor store gets a read-only MCP server automatically, with product search and product detail tools.
No, if you're on Pludor - every product with a real image and price is included in the AI shopping feed automatically. Pludor also generates a per-store Google Shopping XML feed accepted by Google Merchant Center, Meta and TikTok catalogs. You just keep your titles, descriptions, prices and stock accurate.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is about getting your business cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is about writing pages that become the answer in AI and search results. Pludor offers free audit tools for both, so you can check if your page is ready to be cited.
On Pludor, nothing extra - the AI feed, knowledge API and MCP server are generated automatically for every store, and the free plan includes a store, checkout and product pages with no card required. Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, and you only pay for usage past the monthly free amounts.
Yes, when the access is read-only. Pludor's external endpoints - the feed, knowledge API and MCP server - are all public and read-only, so agents can search and read products but can't place orders or change anything. Checkout on a user's behalf isn't exposed to external agents yet, and Pludor's own AI chat always confirms before spending.
They use whatever you publish: titles, descriptions, prices, stock status and images. AI systems repeat what you publish, so accurate titles and descriptions matter, out-of-stock items should be marked as such, and images should honestly show the product since AI shopping surfaces display your photos.
Yes - Pludor has a free "Get your business on ChatGPT" tool where you enter your business and see how to show up when people ask AI what to buy. It's free to try with 8 runs an hour and no account needed. There's also a free AI agent readiness audit that checks whether an AI agent can read your site.
Shopping carried out by an AI agent for a person - searching, comparing and, with permission, buying. It needs machine-readable product data and a safe way to check out.
Agents can search and read products through the feed, API and MCP server today. Checkout on a user's behalf is not exposed to external agents yet; shoppers can buy through Pludor's own AI chat, which confirms before spending.
No - every product with a real image and price is included automatically.
The AI shopping feed follows the OpenAI Agentic Commerce Protocol product shape; MCP is an open protocol; the manifest is Pludor's own convention.
The data and endpoints that let AI assistants find, compare and eventually buy products: product feeds, a knowledge API, an MCP server and a manifest that describes them. Pludor publishes all four for every live product.
